Racing is life... anything else is just waiting.
Eerie and somber.

My friend got separated from the group and his wife. That's also the description that he had as he wandered around looking for his people. He said that he thought about how the residents must have felt on those fateful few days: desperate and scared. I wouldn't want to be around anyone for at least a few minutes. I'd like to put myself in the place of those ancient people for just a little while... at least enough time to soak it in a bit and think about how their lives played out.
 
When I went to Washington DC last year I went to the National museum of American history. It was great, very interesting but the bit where they have found a building from american history and installed it in the museum... my parents live in house in the UK that was built 15 years BEFORE the one installed in the museum. History at its best.
 
Looking forward to seeing the drop site in Hiroshima next summer after seeing the Enola Gay last year. A nice bit of historical Karma in my opinion.
 
My step father is half Japanese and is having some health issues. I'm going to take him to Japan before he can no longer travel so we're planning early 2019. We're going to spend 3 weeks traveling all over the country. I am really looking forward to it.


It's great that you care about ancient people.


Remember to avoid Japanese mini-hotels and enjoy their exotic food.

I guess fathers are not "ancient" LOL

Enjoy the time with your dad, it is a thing to treasure
 
Some of my latest creations for the Keto lifestyle. You can still be creative and enjoy yummy stuff while being healthy at the same time.

Broiled Mahi Mahi Italian green beans and Shimeji mushrooms sauteed in garlic butter

Crock Pot Pork ribs and cauliflower mash. Used a homemade rub and beef stock. Took some of the rendered fat from the crock pot and reduced it in cast iron down to sludge and poured over the ribs. Wrapped in foil and put in the oven at 200 for 1 hour.

Pan-fried Softshell crabs with egg batter and crushed pork skins instead of bread crumbs. Zucchini pasta with marinara and some shrimp in olive oil with garlic and cilantro. All on a bed of Arugula.

9 days til my trip to France! I'll be staying in Paris for 3 nights then taking the train to Bordeaux for a few nights then on to Saint-Emellion for 5 nights before heading back to Paris for a few more nights. I'll be in Bordeaux and Saint-Emellion for the grape and apple harvest, sampling the new wine releases and of course that incredible cider as well as the world's best oysters! I cannot wait! Renting a car to explore the region so lots of pics and videos coming soon!
 
New Bahamas Video from July - 3rd Time filming at this resort which I have never done before. I rarely go to the same place more than once but I love this place. They keep asking me back and as long as they do I'll keep saying "YES!" The food is crazy good too, of course. If you want luxury and not a big touristy resort with a bunch of clueless idiots and screaming kids, this is THE place!

Ya, got forbid having to breath the same air as some loser who spends the entire year saving up to take his family on vacation. I personally apologize for this scum cramping your style.
 
I have getting an amazing crust on steak down to perfection. I take the steak (NEVER FREEZE STEAK!!!) sea salt and pepper both sides and put it between 2 paper towels on the counter. I leave it for 90 minutes changing the paper towels as the salt draws the water out of the meat. Then once it's at room temp I take room temperature compound butter I make, or you can use regular sweet cream unsalted butter, and spread it over both sides. Again, let it sit til the fat in the butter is thickened and forms an outer layer.

Get your cast iron skillet really fucking hot then ad a layer of avocado oil and spread it out with a paper towel. no puddles! just a layer on the skillet!! then place your steak in the center and cover. the butter on the top side is going to melt before you flip it of course, but that's ok. After 3 minutes flip it and leave again for 3 minutes. Flip for a second time again for 90 seconds on each side and then sit on a screen or whatever cooking/baking/drying rack you have for 10 minutes before slicing.

Pic quality sucks but that crust was beautiful.

Take an hour to make compound butter. Its the best hour you'll spend for a long time! I use kerrygold unsalted butter, garlic and parsley with sauteed shallots. Its good on ANYTHING

Wow. You seem to be able to find some way to fit being a dick into everything. There are plenty of places for people to take their kids. There are also places that people who don't want to hear screaming kids that save up all year for their vacation. There are varying types of travel and travelers. There are also tourists. I choose not to go where tourists go. Its not entirely about the tourists, but more about the environment created to cater to those tourists. Shitty overpriced food. Usually americanized versions so they won't be afraid to try it. I have no issue with how anyone travels, I just have a certain way of doing it and certain type of experience I prefer. Don't you? I work for my money too so why shouldn't I get to decide if I want to stay somewhere quiet and not infested with screaming kids?

Settle down snowflake. Jesus christ on a cracker you are sensitive.
