Roger's View of the World, Love and Seafood Gumbo!
Seize the Day! Put no trust in the morrow! — Horace
Wow! 35 years or 420 months or 12,775 days or 319,375 hours … and although that many sound like a really long time to some people … to me … it has all gone by so fast.
Thank you for building a life together.

PS. thanks — Karla — for the nice artwork
In South Africa, the humble Chicken Pot Pie has a Cape Dutch-Malay heritage… but variations are everywhere. Most of the recipes are wonderful … although … many eliminate the potato … which I cannot.
South Africans seem to spend great attention in the preparation their foods…. and in particular, their meats … which I admire. In that spirit, in preparation for the Chicken Pot Pie ‘assembly’, I smoked and barbecued my chicken, ham and bacon over some of my favorite woody flavors: Southern hickory, California red oak and Texas mesquite!
Tomorrow, I put it all together for our anniversary.
Stay tuned… Recipe to follow. Jenny Craig, forgive me.

“The most spiritual men, as the strongest, find their happiness where others would find their destruction: in the labyrinth, in hardness against themselves and others, in experiments.
Their joy is self-conquest.
Difficult tasks are a privilege to them, to play with burdens that crush others, a recreation. They are the most venerable kind of man: that does not preclude their being the most cheerful and the kindliest.”
— Friedrich Nietzsche
