Since we have limited characters to post in here I took a screenshot of my instagram story. We are in unprecedented times here, protesting is still needed but we gotta start thinking outside the box. Our old strategies aren’t gonna just cut it & not just one thing works, we must think more broadly

If you’re new here & are just following me, know I post a lot about what I cook, metal health stuff & I am very anti-fascist. If you’re offended by a person with bold takes & can change their opinion when presented with facts…this may not be the account for you, so please move along. With that said…

Hope y’all had a great Tuesday!

2016 vs 2026 My hubs ages like a fine wine and the pandemic did a number on me. lol.

Face masks and cooking tortilla soup. lol. Man I know how to do a birthday…I’m so boring. 🤦🏼‍♂️ lol

I’m not fucking around this year! I learned my lesson from 2025!

Christmas 2025 is in the books.

Off to Vegas for a quick 48 hour trip.

Let’s go Tuesday!

Needed to trim up a bit. Was looking haggard.

Smoking some sharp cheddar on the bottom rack. Then colby jack, small brick of pepper jack, and small brick of extra sharp cheddar on the top rack. They will be good to go once they rest for 2 weeks in the fridge.

This week has been on one and it’s only Wednesday!

God it’s hard to get back into the gym. It’s annoying. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Smoking some sharp cheddar this morning.

Glad to be home.

Monday’s am I right?!

Then tonight I turned some of the tritip into tritip fried rice. It turned out better than I thought and can’t wait to try it tomorrow.

Made tritip and chicken yesterday. All turned out really well. Chicken was a little dry because I was running the temperature so high to get a good sear on the tritip.

Probably the best brisket I’ve made

Smoked a brisket yesterday. Turned out great.

Just finished a king sized blanket commissioned by my sister-in-law and brother-in-law. This one only took me 7 months. lol. Shaved 2 months off the time it took to make my last king sized blanket.

Happy Fourth of July from Heber City, UT.

I was feeling cocky. 😜

A cool rainy morning means it’s a great time to smoke some cheese!

Fired up Gretchen to grill some chicken breast for the week! So ready for dinners this week!

Beautiful day for some yard work.

I did not want to get up this morning.

Tastes like home. #Whataburger

Have a great day y’all!

It turned out 👨‍🍳 💋 and Duncan approved.

Just wrapped them in peach paper and put them back on the smoker for a few more hours.

I desalinated some Wagyu corned beef for 2 days. I’m now throwing them in the smoker to turn them into some pastrami. We’ll see how they turn out in 7-8 hours.

The hubs and I had to replace the fan, computer, and igniter yesterday so today I’m testing its capabilities with some pork loins.

I smoked a pork butt last weekend. It made amazing pulled pork tacos for Valentine’s Day!

It’s new glasses day! Now i can see you all in high def! 😜

Is anyone else having a problem uploading videos?

Stop scrolling and post your Lock Screen!

Repost with a picture of you and your pet(s)

This photo filled me w/ fear when I was younger. It showed the thing I was supposed to be ashamed of, my gayness. I learned from family & church that gay people should be ashamed of themselves. I’m no longer ashamed but I am definitely still healing from the pain & lost youth. #nationalcomingoutday

It’s World Mental Health Day y’all!

Water was so effing cold! We spent the 4th up in McCall, ID.

Happy Tummy Tuesday!

I’m getting caught up on some queerstory.

This piece of chicken was either pissed at me or was happy to see me.

Lmao! She needs more than a pardon!

Smoked some cheddar yesterday! We’ll see how hey tired out in 2 weeks

Ugh! Missing Palm Springs right now!

@pabalt.bsky.social do you have any suggestions for fiction novels? Like your favorites or some good quick reads?
