The Birth of a Next Generation Culinarian: #foodfightfriday

What a start to the new year! Busy could be Hive account@farm-mom and thebigsweed's middle name.
Since the 14 of December we have been on a high that was filled with laughter, family, friends, food, gift-giving and receiving, attending youth basketball games, beer and wine, stimulating conversation, playing games, building snowmen, trimming trees, decorating, a little TV, a little blogging, babysitting, visiting, and hanging out in NJ waiting for my daughter-in-law and son to have their second child.

I just got back in town and didn't want to miss out on the best game in town, #fff. With #farm-mom still back in NJ lending a hand, there ain't much cooking going on at the farm.
In order to jump into the ring, I bring you a meal, created and captured on film, from the middle of December.
If you see a little fingernail polish in any of the pictures, that's OK because the following is brought to you by the dynamic duo.

7th grandchild, what a trip. Jordan weighed in at 7 lbs and 13 ounces, and 21 inches tall.
The little girl is just perfect.
Mom is breastfeeding, and you gotta give her credit for that.
The entire family is on cloud nine as we all just watch this little person, in sheer wonderment.
Life is good, and so is the meal you are about to drool over. 😜

I'm going to forgo the recipes, cooking times, and methods of preparation, and just let the pictures do the talking.

For dinner, we gave our new air fryer another try.

Yo Hive account@dandays, please don't point out #farm-mom's fingernails. Every time she goes a week or two without getting her nails done, it puts $30.00 back into the till. 👍

Headed back down to NJ tomorrow morning for my son Hive account@ryan313's birthday.
But, despite all of the bustling around there is always enough time to thank the Hive account@appreciator for sponsoring one of the best gigs in town, Hive account@fff.

A big thank you to Hive account@jlsplatts for all he does to keep us all in new recipes, and a special thanks for the hats.

Keep on keeping me in stitches. 😁😁😁

How am I looking? 👍

A big shoutout to Hive account@dandays for his TIRELESS efforts, making sure #fff is GI, and for material like this.

Tell it like it is man!

Last but not least we all owe some gratitude to Hive account@idig, the guy in the background making sure everything is alright in the kitchen while keeping an eye on the other two jokers at the helm.
The DJ that keeps us in tune.
A unique individual who turns us on to such things as
THE ICEMAN.
