Merry Christmas to all.

We are having blast this morning making our snowman.

Katie Beth loves her bicycle and is ready to ride it to the swimming pool.

Katie Beth is having a blast dressed as Rapunzel.

We are celebrating the Ronning Christmas today with Karen’s Family.

Everyone is having a blast.

We are celebrating my mother’s birthday. She turned 73 today.

Faith came into town early to surprise mother.

Katie Beth wanted to help in the unwrapping.

I have just thrown the goat burgers on the Big Green Egg. We have freezing rain and the temperature is presently 30°F.

Life is good for the moment.

For those that haven’t had goat burgers, you haven’t lived.

You know that you are dedicated when you are firing up the smoker at these temperatures.

Yes, you are seeing snow fall and accumulate on the car as I am waiting for the lump charcoal to get to temperature.

I have some apple wood soaking. We are smoking lemon pepper seasoned chickens. Mmmm!

I made my first Hollandaise sauce and Egg Benedict this morning.

The sauce was very easy, but many people think that it is too much work. As you can see, I didn’t use white pepper in the sause. I just didn’t want to change the pepper out in the grinder.

Karen thought it was very good, too.
