A peek behind the scenes at the @GopherT estate. Os that the servants quarters in the background?

Mine is the third gopher-hole on the left.

 

that an omelette? ... I'm hungry now...

 

Here are some of the S8+ photos from my short Keys road trip this morning. Don't criticize...I'm not a photographer.

The third picture, the one showing the pier, is pretty good...

Egg white omelet with bacon and home fries. That is good that Joey is so concerned about his diet.

Two eggs over medium, bacon, and home fries. The staples of life (or breakfast, anyway).

Whites? Not on your life. The yolk is where the fun is.

Absolutely!

The weather today made an impression on me. Unfortunately, the photos don't capture what I was feeling.

We are all going to die someday.

At least when I do, I can say I had bacon this morning.

Makes it all worth it.

Egg whites are a silly product that shouldn’t exist, driven apparently by the same idea as white sugar and white flour, that somehow a food is “better” when purified away from its color. Endless studies show the opposite and yet people are drawn to this silliness. I don’t get it.

If I remember correctly, white flour was invented during the middle ages. It was valuable because it contained no impurities, such as sand and rocks, and it was much easier on one's teeth. It was considered so valuable that some households would keep it safely stored in a locked coffer. White sugar, on the other had, was valuable because it didn't alter or muddle the color of pastries. Also, brown sugar had a slight molasses-like taste to it.

White sugar has all the bad properties, the best nutritious part is Molasses and was removed from the sugar and only used in animal feed at one time.
Max.

I was mostly ranting about how crazy it is to avoid the health benefits of yolks (choline, for instance) just to get a nearly tasteless protein source. It’s not like we lack protein.

There was one kind of thinking that removing components that were “hard” to digest (eg. fiber from flour) was better for you because your body didn’t have to work as hard. Sort of true, but misses the bigger picture.

 

This is simply amazing:

It feels a little more statistical to me. I mean, with enough cats and a "cat lady" with a camera, some good cat shots are virtually inevitable.

I would demand that @cmartinez cuts you in for a percentage of the take.

 

This is Il Vietato, and me... down at "Isla Contoy" (it's a national reserve) close to Cancún, southern Mexico... the beautiful pirate-less Caribbean.
I've also attached a full-resolution pic of the same yacht, because I consider it desktop-worthy.

Just ran across this for some reason. Is this your runabout that takes you you your big yacht?
