hello "readers"

Hello people who still check this blog (aka Scott Miller). How's it going?  Are you "glad" to be back to work?  Thanksgiving photo post after the jump

 The Delta is very pretty this time of year.  When was the last time you explored around there?

 Sardine sandwich from the undisputed king - Huong Lan

 Don't spray me bro.  UCD rally last week.  There's a boycott of classes today, but my union didn't send out any emails about striking, so they must have decided not to.  It's kind of a dumb day for a boycott, right after the holiday.  And I think mid-terms are going on.

 That looks like ranch or something, but it's the bergamasco sandwich from Corti bros, so that's melted mozzarella with pesto.   It was fucking good!!

 Corti Bros turkey.  Picking up that turkey and having the guy look up my name on the list and go get it in the back was probably the most Old School Sac thing I've ever done.

 Friends.

 My boss gave me hella foraged chanterelles! I would say woot except that I would never say woot.

 This is a bamboo cocktail: sherry, vermouth, orange bitters.

 Have you ever thrown celery root in with your potato mash?  I highly recommend it.

 This is a cocktail WB invented called pink smoke.  One of my favorite things I've ever dranken.  Yes, I know that is bad grammar: very smoky mezcal, spicy cranberry chutney, egg white, half and half and smiller's backwash.  That's the secret ingredient.

 Tarragon-infused turkey.

 The whole shebang.

 Finally tried Guistis!  It is great.

 Promotional material from Mudhoney, which was filmed nearby.  At the time it was called "Rope of Flesh"

 Goober stopped by!

 Calamari steak.

 I didn't take as many pictures at the Hmong New Year this year.  This is the pork rib and sticky rice plate.

General Vang Pao died, so the new thing is this image of him on a pegasus.  Please make one of these for me after I die.
