4th of July 2026


Stayed up late monitoring the smoker, then woke up realizing the smoker turned off while we were sleeping. Ed was upset, but able to save it. It all turned out just fine.

We made our favorite potato salad with eggs. 


Almost forgot to sprinkle in the bacon. Bacon makes everything better. 

Ed taste testing the final product. 

Beef shoulder-clod cutting time.

Enjoyed the company of my mom and son Sebastian this 4th of July. 

Played a game of Chinese checkers in honor of Oma Hilde. Sebastian shared a fun fact that Chinese checkers was actually invented in Germany. Today’s winner was Ed, it was also his first time playing the game.
