hey, cool, it worked! I think...

We finished up the dozen today and took 'em out to see how they fly. The Mrs got some pics of that but hasn't sent them to me yet.

NICE cresting on those arrows Spider!

And wow! Your grandson getting BIG!

thanks Rutt, He was a happy kid but that wasn't his whole day. He has many talents and grammy helped with one of the others. He is quite the chef and ever since he had some macarons at a fancy restaurant he has been dying to recreate them. He and Connie made a batch of very fancy macarons that came out great. Turns out there is a lot of prep and wait stuff involved in making French pastry! Who knew?

Awww,..that's my father-n-
Laws favorite..I make those for his birthday in January.
Your grandson looks like a wonderful boy..He looks so happy.

Spider1 · « **Reply #63 on:** Feb 20, 2023, 06:39 AM »

Thanks! Yes he was. We had to go right out back and test fire them and they flew beautifully he even nailed several bullseyes. Then we went inside and taste tested macarons

It was also my sons birthday, so when they came over to pick up their boy we had a birthday party with fresh banana cake and homemade vanilla ice-cream. It was a great day. And to top it all off, Ryan is coming over this morning so he and gram can make Italian macarons this time! I'm kinda thinking about ducking out of work early but I don't want to steal any of grams funtime.

Great pic Spider. You have a talent and nice that you are passing it along to your grandson. Same for Grams. Those are life lessons well worth the time. Wish my grandkids were closer. Would be fun to have him out on the ice with us. Maybe next year we can take him to the resort and watch him catch those big crappies, perch, and bass.

He went to Hawaii last year and did some fishing. Caught some Mahi Mahi and an Ahi tuna (yellow fin). They butchered the ahi right there and he ate some. Kids gonna own a big restaurant some day.

I went home for lunch today, they had 4 batches of Macrons done, both French and Italian. The French were good but the Italian were something to see. I told the Mrs to take a pic and send it to me when they are done so I can show off my kid to you all.

That’s great Spider! So when he’s a Michelin Star chef at some fancy restaurant you will have no problem getting a table........and probably won’t even have to pay! 😜

PaCarpboy · « **Reply #67 on:** Feb 21, 2023, 09:49 AM »

We definitely need him on the ice with us. I can see Boeuf Bourguignon coming off the Coleman stove.......

I finally got some pic's of Ryans macrons. He ended up making something like 7 batches and got better with each one.

My son caught this 16 inch perch at Khaled lake.

Salty Ice Queen · « **Reply #81 on:** Feb 21, 2023, 06:00 PM »

From lake Aurthur.

PaCarpboy · « **Reply #82 on:** Feb 22, 2023, 05:40 AM »

That's a nice meal right there. Love those crappies. I'm sure you have a special recipe for them. I just roll them in flour, dip in egg, then coat with Panko seasoned bread crumbs and fry in a cast iron skillet for just a few minutes on each side. Nothing better.

Last week I went to one of my local lakes to try for some perch, bluegills crappies in a tiny piece of open water. I ended up with these.

PaCarpboy · « **Reply #84 on:** Feb 22, 2023, 06:34 AM »

Those are what Rutt and I refer to as fancy panfish.

Salty Ice Queen · « **Reply #85 on:** Feb 22, 2023, 09:01 AM »

Is that trout by chance.?

RuttNutt · « **Reply #86 on:** Feb 22, 2023, 09:20 AM »

Yes! The Trout Snobs turn their nose up at them, but there’s nothing better on the other end of your line this time of year! 😜 They usually put up a good fight.

Steidyj · « **Reply #87 on:** Feb 22, 2023, 09:33 AM »

Nicely done Chapru! Rutt! Trout snobs must not know how to cook a trout if they turn their nose up at them. More for me! Especially after the state hatcheries changed feed regiments last year making their meat even more appealing, even tougher now to put 'em into the smoker and not right on the grill.

chapru · « **Reply #88 on:** Feb 22, 2023, 01:02 PM »

Thanks, but the catch was incidental. I’d have rather had perch that size. And yes RuttNutt, they did put up a nice fight on ultralight.

PaCarpboy · « **Reply #89 on:** Feb 23, 2023, 07:33 AM »

I love trout, I just don't eat them. I especially love the wild trout in the Upper Delaware River on a 4wt flyrod, 2lb tippet, and a #18 BWO. A 16" wild rainbow will take you across the river deep into your backing. No better sound in the world than a screaming fly reel as they peel line off so fast water is shooting off it like a rooster's tail.
