Good ole bowl of nightcap in the Peterson SH Baskerville rusticated with PLip
On today's morning commute i enjoyed some Cowboy Coffee in the trusty Pete paired with delightfully black coffee. It was a beautiful rainy 🌧 morning..
Hope you all have a great Wednesday!

Earlier, I smoked a bowl of Peretti Royal in a black sandblasted medium bend 2013 Mark Tinsky Coral 5 cherrywood with a smooth dark brown shank and bottom with a tapered black briar accented acrylic stem. Cleaned a few pipes.
Then, I smoked a bowl of year 2016 Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake in a straight smooth brown post-1964 Parker Super Bruyere 88/F group 3 bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Currently, I am near the first third of this bowl of year 2014 Full Virginia Flake in a straight 1968 Dunhill Shell bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

Finished shoveling for the night. Be back out tomorrow morning. Having Lancer Slices RR in a Tsuge with water. 
Sounds like a grand way to start the day!
Looked up and got a recipe for Boerwors. Looks fantastic. May try to make some one day - haven't done homemade sausage in many, many a year! Thanks for the great reply!Thank'ee, @gord ... I prefer to think of GH twists as being more like BoerworsI shall review the Pigtail after a couple more smokes - that was my first one, and somewhat disappointing because a) I was in a mood; b) I didn't dry it long enough (5 hours, forsooth), and c) I smoked it in that Zulu, and a narrowing Dublin bowl with bent shank doesn't do justice to a tobacco as moist as that, especially with the humidity as high and the temperature as low as it is here at present. Next time, a straight-stemmed, round-chambered Meer... going to cut some up and start air-drying it now.
Very nice little pipe! Eyecatching without being ostentatious!
2021 GL Pease Navigator Flake in my Merchant Service Short Dark Cutty whilst catching a few rays of sun.
I have a recipe to make Pastrami out of them- Delicious!
Up here in Prince George, we call Canada geese "sky carp" Don't know anybody who either shoots them or eats them. However, on the prairies, they pig out on grain, and are delicious. I have a hunch that sausages made from them with the right spice might be okay, but I'm not going to go out of my way to find them next fall!

I got bit on the ass by a goose as a toddler in diapers. I love goose liver pate to this day.My brother, (who is now in his 60s,) was chased, and "goosed", by a huge canada goose when he was about 4. To this day, he hates those things.
After that first bowl, i don't know her too well, but i like what she's got going on so far! Before too long, i very well may agree with that sentiment.

Sausage would be a good idea. Roasted with Chinese 5 spice is excellent, too.
Onto an after-dinner bowl of St Bruno in a Mehmet Cinar billiard.
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, orange roughy and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm a third of the way through this bowl of year 2012 St. James Flake in a straight 1968 Dunhill Tanshell octagonal paneled EK F/T billiard with a square shank and tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
As a chicken w/carrots & potatoes roasts in the oven, I'm formulating my plans for the coming IPSD sale on SP.com, and enjoying the aftertaste of the bowl of Sutliff Voodoo Queen I had this afternoon in a Savinelli Bacco 321 rusticated author on an extremely rare full day of fog rolling through. Looked more like the Pacific Northwest (where any Seinfeld nerd worth their salt remembers is where Newman learned to climb trees) than Southern California, blessedly without the online tobacco prohibition. 9.5/10
