With all you’ve done, have you never been in a train before? And you can send that bottled message to me, if you like..

Train travel here is pretty pricey (as compared to driving or flying) so we just haven’t bothered as of yet. I’m really looking forward to crossing that one off though.
Do you happen to live next to a large body of water via which I might send you that message?
Thanks for the comment!

This is the Beef Jerky recipe I want to try.
Jerky with a box fan and some air filters! Brilliant!

I LOVE Alton Brown! I have two of his books, and I watch his show as often as I can. He’s totally brilliant. Thank you so much for sharing that recipe with me. I’ll let you know if/when I try it!
V sends her regards BTW.
