Happy Sunday to All!

It was September 19[sup]th[/sup] of last year, when I set up a password and account on this Smoker Site, and figured that I would visit it from time to time – every few months or so perhaps – or twice or thrice a year.

Never had I so much as even heard of a “Fattie,” or “Moink Ball” or “Reverse Sear” for that matter either. There was so much to learn!

That the wonderful and welcoming smokers would become a near “daily dose” or part of my life, has been the loveliest surprise! Indeed, the people here, and quite fabulous grand food concoctions, are truly a pleasure - tenfold!

It is with gratitude for being here, that I raise a glass WAY UP today, and with great warmth to all!

I smoked some simple fish today, (shark), and with pecan wood chips and then layered over some wheat-free pasta (brown rice penne) and with mushrooms, cayenne, blue sea salt, olive oil and fresh basil…


Simple, healthful, and also wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Thank you for being the great people that you are! Cheers!!!!!!!! - Leah

OH - and this was paired with Gavi wine. (Italian dry white wine that is made from "Cortese" grape). Seeing as this is a wino group, I had better mention the libation, yes? Cheers! - Leah

Leah it's amazing how fast time flies.

I for one an glad you found us.

Here's to many more years here
 
Thank you tons!!! (Brian).

I am so happy here, and am amazed how active I am here, versus what I thought my involvement would be. THAT is a testament to the wonderful people!

Happy Sunday!!!! How grateful am I!

Cheers! - Leah
 
Hey Leah.........I have to admit that I do look for your posts when I get a chance to get on line. It is always a pleasure to see what you are building next.....

Here's to many more......

Terrific looking meal as usual, Leah. 

You have been a real asset to the forums. Clever, creative and a breath of fresh air with your different smokes. You are a rose amongst a bunch of old fat guy thorns.

Disco
 
Hear hear!! A whole year with Leah, my how time flies! I'll mirror the sentiment already expressed by saying I'm glad you found this place. You do inject a unique energy and perspective. Cheers to many more to come!
 
Thank you Disco! Your humor keeps me going, as do your great dishes, and wishes! So kind!

And thank you too Andrew! You were one of the first friendly smokers when I joined and I am thrilled to be here!

Cheers to all! - Leah
 
It really nice to see somebody who takes the time to reflect on things like this and to acknowledge those peers who contribute to all of our benefit. I too might be coming into this milestone but not sure when. You have surely contributed some interesting food fascinations. I tend to believe that cliche about those "birds of a feather...." Compliments to the chef and like they said at Woodstock " we're all feeding each other , man"
 
Thank you Knuckle47!!! And YOU are the one who taught me to use pistachio shells as smoking chips, and I do that often! Thank you therefore, for sharing and teaching and being who you are!!!!! Cheers! - Leah
 
I thought you would like this kindred spirit,


Kiss the sea on the lips a nice turn of phrase
