Making less money than I was, yet quality of life is better, needs are always met, and we even have room for some wants and fun stuff. I'm of same mind. I tell folks we live simple. We do. Got an acre with 2 houses [both are very modest. 800sq/ft and 900sq/ft], pay $700/month. Drive a 1989 Oldsmobile beater every day. Am thrilled at the prospect of a "new" 2002 Toyota for $2000. Roll my own smokes. Heat with wood.... own an H/K 630 and a pair of LaScalas I do have my priorities we don't go out. Tucson is 60 miles. We "eat out" in. Buy some good stuff and cook it ourselves. "Shot the wad" and bought a couple T-bones the other night. yammerin' on and it's game time.... glad you are enjoying a simpler lifestyle. I am/do. I've been practicing at it for a while. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyBob Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 please don't go to Frank what's his name's rendition of ChristmasSong "Black dog roasting over an open fire..." haven't [knowingly] eaten that and the neighbor's bbq you would see everything from oysters to hot dogs on it. Love the little roasted eggplant split with shoyu and vinegar. Gives me gas, but that is fun, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Oysters on the grill are great. They pop open when they get hot enough, and the taste gets that smoky flavor while still barely cooked. Wear gloves and pull them right off, shuck and eat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyBob Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 yeah buddy! Throw net bbq at the beach was interesting. A fire, a net and anything moving got grilled. ever eat oama? I was never a big fan of weke/moana. Tend to be mushy. Or I never figured how to cook them. IDK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyBob Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I'm sure those goat pics reminded oldtimer of food. On the islands, goat is highly prized/special occasion fare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want to buy one of those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
