Happy Halloween????

Sorry. Nothing really exciting tonight. Busy day and I had make one last trip to my apartment to drop off the keys. Feeling just wee bit lazy.

Walked in the door and threw a pizza in the oven.

For a frozen pizza, it was actually really tasty. Like I said, I'm feeling a little lazy tonight.

A "little" yard work today. Holy crap! Those leaves take a while to pick up!

Before. And that's not even the whole yard. :/

During.

After! That's more like it!

12 bags full of leaves and twigs. Yowza!

Made a quick trip to Elmwood Park today.

Met a friend at Brix for a little Happy Hour. Kind of cold and rainy.

So...I just got home from a loooong day at work. I'm too tired to go out and shoot anything. So here's one from the other day I edited a bit.

A little stroll around the neighborhood.

I know I didn't post anything yesterday. I got tied up and didn't get home till late. Just got home a little bit ago and threw together some dinner.

Grilled ham and cheese with a fried egg. :-)

I got busy around the house today. So here is a couple that I edited a bit from my walk the other day.

Another perfect day for a walk in the woods.

One of my favorite times of the year. The trees start changing color, but hasn't gotten cold yet.

Fired up my smoker for the first time today.

Prepping the bird.

Trimming off the excess fat.

Hooray! I'm going to be a delicious meal!

Rubbin' dat chicken...oh yeah!

Hands are perfectly seasoned.

As is the bird.

Can ready to humiliate the chicken.

White wine, rosemary, thyme, and garlic.

Ready for the smoker.

Sitting on the can....literally.

Smoker....smokin'.

Just put the bird in.

About an hour in. I had to peek.

About two and a half hours.

Fresh out of the smoker.

All carved up and ready to eat. I wish you could smell my house right now! Wow! And the chicken was so tender an moist! I will totally be doing this again! And again! And...well...you get the idea.
