When I first started eating well, it felt like the only advice I got was what to remove .  While taking the crap out of my diet was good advice in many ways, sometimes I found it difficult and a little depressing to give up the foods I loved. Top of the list: hash browns. Golden, crispy, greasy hash browns. And you guys know how much I love hash browns !

This one. Thomas smoked a pork shoulder and Mazen put on his snorkel mask because I told him not to breath in the smoke. (Also: note the shark slippers !) The pork was awesome!
