someone asked me if they could use chorizo in their sausage gravy. I said absolutely, then realized I never actually showed my sausage gravy recipe. achievement unlocked. #larryskitchen

D&D night gets a whole lot better when a dear friend rejoins the party and dives right in with a fireball. Glad to have you back, Elfrina!

This is what happens when I stay out of the kitchen. Spooky stuff! 🎃 👻 🐈‍⬛

Scenic railroad trip and whiskey tasting in the shadow of Mt. Rainier. 🛤️ 🥤 🌋

someone asked me what I enjoyed most about autumn. two things: Halloween and warm comfort food that fills up the home with great aroma all day long. #larryskitchen Meatball in the Slow Cooker solves the second point. Spooky is all on you.

Sometimes, living near one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the continental U.S. isn’t so bad. #MtRainier

nothing like taking apart the computer tower, dusting it out, then putting it back together again, and there is an issue. fortunately, it was just a cable rubbing against the fan, but it sounded like a wounded animal.

Pimento cheese used to be a delicious mystery to me. But when I moved to Atlanta and got to know some of the restaurant chefs, they showed me how easy it is to make at home. Trial and error to get the right spices did the rest. Seriously. I could eat the entire bowl myself. #larryskitchen

hearing from family and friends in the path of Milton. lots of wind damage and rain but all safe. that takes a little weight off my shoulders.

when the #DnD party knows each other a little too well.

Tygo: "You could move."

Bam: "It is you that’s the problem, not me."

DM: "Boy, how many times have you heard that before?"

Until I get a smoker, a slow cooker is the best way I have found to achieve a BBQ-adjacent effort on my pork butts. The Guinness adds a bit of a bite and flavor. And the final result can be used in so many ways. #larryskitchen

today has been all over the place. start with a migraine. try to sleep it off. feel a little bit better. stress out about sleeping so much instead of doing things. develop the beginnings of a panic attack. distract with games. feel a little bit better. stop playing and panic attack restarts. there is just no winning right now.

it took a little while, but the #larryskitchen website is back up and running. brighter, cleaner look. same great tastes. stop by and let me know what you think!

you think going on a diet is tough. try putting two cats on diets to help their overall health. anything that isn't nailed down is getting pushed to the floor in a bid to get more food/attention.

so this is how we're going to start, eh? Cayde knocks my Razer ring light into my monitor, and the light stops working. won't even power up. you'd think I'd be used to orange cat shenanigans by now...

any ideas on what I can do to fix the light? Razer support page wasn't very helpful.

Just getting started at Octoberfest and making sure I have food before 🍺 at the Washington State Fairgrounds.

what a wild college football weekend. No. 1, 4, 9, and 10 all lose. No. 8 Miami needs a 4th Q rally to beat Cal by 1. and fans everywhere start panicking. :)

grateful to have moved to the PNW from the mid-Atlantic during hurricane season, and then I get to see stories like this with me currently living within 40 miles of Mt. Rainier (which, I am told, is overdue for eruption).

Taco and milkshake to celebrate #NationalTacoDay. 🌮

Arthur says take the rest of the day off and start your weekend relaxing now.
