July 2, 2010

I’m not cooking until very late tonight, but I wandered into the kitchen to check on how the brisket was thawing and discovered that SWMBO had gone to the store and picked up some more limes. And that as small as the last batch was, these were downright tiny. I offer up the following picture [...]

Feeding BBQ to the Troops

April 23, 2010

It’s no secret that I like to BBQ for other people. And that I am deeply appreciative of those that serve in our Armed Forces so that I can enjoy all the freedoms we are afforded in this country. I might not agree with the decisions as to where they are sent, but I have [...]
