    What's for Dinner?

    Brunswick Stew...the quintessential, low-country peasant food. A vegetable based recipe, in North Carolina, it’s traditionally augmented with venison, pork, squirrel, chicken, rabbit or whatever meat is handy. But this rainy day, our furry forest animals can snuggle safely in their borrows. This...

    G-1 Removable Collars

    There are great differences between the G-1 and A-2 jackets beyond their collars. Truthfully, their only similarity is that they are both military leather flight jackets. Beyond that, they have little in common. I’ve always thought a man would wear his A-2 with a Lacoste shirt and Bill’s...

    AVI LTHR A-1

    There were at least two versions of the Army A-1. The original version had horn buttons all the way down the front opening. Later versions had two metal snaps at the bottom of the front. AF

    What's for Dinner?

    Searing the pepper coated steaks...making the sauce...finished meal. As they say in Cajun country...it was coon-ass fine. AF

    What's for Dinner?

    The makings of French Quarter Steak au Poivre with shallot and cream pan sauce. Yes...I‘m moving a bit outside of my normal Cajun repertoire. Perhaps a touch more Antoine’s and a tad less Coop’s Place. AF

    What's for Dinner?

    Didn’t make cornbread this time. I usually do. And I usually make it in my great-grandmother’s skillet...with chopped jalapeño peppers stirred into the mix. But both Jackie and I have reduced our carb intake, so we passed on having both beans and cornbread. AF

    What's for Dinner?

    Thirty-nine degrees, early this morning. Well, OK. If it’s gonna feel like February, then we’re gonna eat like it’s February. No fresh spring salad or lightly grilled mahi for us, tonight. We’ve got hot country ham and big limas on the stove. AF

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thank you! She’s an old cat...seventeen...so I watch her health pretty closely. The vet agreed that she has a UTI, which (I guess) is common in elderly cats. She’s much better now. She’s eating, drinking and sleeping, again. And those are the three fundamental pillars of cat existence. AF

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    The strong front that spawned your nor’easter blew through here last night about midnight. Thankfully, the tornadic weather that afflicted Greensboro had diminished some by the time it got over us. Still, it was blowing and squalling a bit uncomfortably, for a little while. AF

    What's The Story on Wilsons Leather?

    I totally agree with Seb Lucas. I bought a used Wilson’s Open Road to see if I looked OK in a Buco style moto jacket. I really wanted a Schott Perfecto or an Aero Windward, but I bought the Wilson’s instead. It was a good choice. Turns out, I look like a dork in a Buco style moto jacket, no...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Had to take the cat to the vet this morning. I think she has a UTI. Threw on the first jacket in the closet. AF

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    A long time ago, I used to be an oil truck driver. Christmas and summer vacations, when I was in undergraduate school, I drove a fuel delivery truck for a local distributorship. The jacket I wore in those days is long gone...it’d be too small for me, anyhow...but I recreated it, here. This is...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Not a great photo, but my cat isn’t here to help me. Sitting at the local bagel shop waiting for my lunch, wearing my 1998 issued A-2. It’s twenty years old this year, and more than half of that time, it’s been mine. Probably my most worn-in leather jacket. AF

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Saw Bernie Taupin on the television, this morning. He was sporting some interesting denim...but I can’t figure out what it is. AF

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Don’t be fooled by the green grass and blooming dogwood tree. Winter is back, today. Thirty-seven degrees with a very brisk north west wind. I’m wearing a 1961 Skyline...the very first orange-lined MA-1. Oh...and that metal thing in the foreground is a trailer tongue jack. My darn cat...

    Guitars

    I think you’re born either a Martin person or a Gibson person...and, after a few years of mainly playing Martins, I’m back to playing Gibsons again. My old 1974 J-50 Deluxe on the left. My newly purchased, standard J-45 on the right. AF

    Show us your Guns!

    Coyote medicine. An early ‘fifties, Iver Johnson Sealed Eight that I inherited from my father. Mom gave it to him as a Christmas gift a few years before I was born. I carry it on my evening walks around the farm, tucked into this reproduction M-3. Its a fairly accurate little pistol, but...

    My Buzz Rickson’s B-15D (1952 model) Jacket

    Thank you! The good news is...my original flight jackets fit me again. The jackets I had to retire were mostly repros. AF
