one of the senior softball wives made a comment the other day that made me wonder how some people even get to be seniors. she said how good tofu is for breakfast and lunch. after rolling my eyes i asked what flavor? she replied 'covered with just a little red pepper flavored hummus'. the german lady sitting next to her just about fell out of her chair laughing and i had to go to the bathroom quickly. sh it on a shingle is far better than that concoction............... lee ps mmm mmm good http://veggieandthebeastfeast.com/2014/11/15/sweet-and-smoky-baked-tofu-tacos-with-coconut-citrus-slaw/ pss

for 30 years or more i have been less than shy about what i consider the best flavors to ever pass my tonsils. debatable? hardly. fresh on the boat tuna sashimi was always tied with camp fresh gambel quail breast sauteed in bacon drippings. but as my age makes me more of a bait fisherman and dirt farmer instead of hunter gatherer adventurer i have found another item that brings a tear to my eye. a big, fresh-of-the-day anaheim chili roasted perfectly, peeled, held by the stem and eaten warm seeds and all causes this fat mans eyes to roll back in his head. i hit a home run a few days ago by accident. had a bunch of huge pablanos freshly roasted and nothing to make a relleno from. since dad was an okie and a SEABee i have always had to make anything with nothing and it still had to be better than store-bought. baked pablanos stuffed with sour cream macaroni and cheese went yard. omg. lee ps fred finally got the sign up this week and we should have a Guayos open on the deuce of clubs in show low in a few days!

.....anyway. Carl checking in from from Fishermans Landing as it's another yelowfin day. The fleet is starting to checking in loading up with catchable fish from 18 to 25 pounds including 1/2 day and 3/4 day trips. thay ain't as big as a elk-not even a coues buck-and most of the little suckers git away anyhows. but good eatin' if ya knows how ta grill 'em up. lee

san diego tuna fishing is on fire. 3/4 day boats getting them along with the overnights. mostly 12-30lbers yft but anything is possible this year with bft to 250lbs

really missin' that old XJ lee

several of that mornings tornados' first touched down in 6b and cut 30+ mile swaths crossing I40 up into 7. if you dig deep there is a video from the national weather service lab in bellemont of one passing 500 yards west of it. one had already passed a half mile to the east. the closest personal part was that one twister destroyed wherry housing on camp navajo. my parents lived in those houses from 1946 to 1951 and i got to visit there on a delivery in 1985. lee

my favorite part was driving out toward the storm tracks one afternoon a couple of weeks after. first thing i saw were these 50ft long ponderosa pines that had been snapped off and were sticking out of the ground like arrows about a half mile before i got to the stormtracks. can we all spell 'incoming' ! lee

actually smith u got it. excellent observations sir ! that was tornado numero uno ! parents and grandparents always said there was no absence of tornados in arizona particularly around williams. 'nuff said. good job smith! lee
