Rare vanity, I apologize, but let's talk BBQ. Got my Bradley Smoker started last night at 8:00. Two beautiful 8# Pork Butts smoking/cooking for sixteen hours then FTC for 5 then serve with a wonderful North Corolina vinegar/tomato based dipping sauce or the infamaous South Carolina mustard based sauce. I'll take the former, wife loves the latter.
Please post your BBQ plans.
It is also people like you and "MGD" who give our country real hope.
Its all good!
It’s hard to mess up salsa. Just don’t make it too spicy because you can always increase the heat but not decrease it. I made some homemade mustard a few weeks ago. All you do is soak the mustard seeds overnight in not too much water, you don’t want runny mustard. In the morning blend it for awhile with a little added vinegar and salt. Honey is optional
You can find more detailed recipe on internet. Mine came out great!
I love grilled corn on the cob- out of the husk. That smokey flavor is one of a kind.
I warmed mine up yesterday with Johnsonville brats. Yum.
Today? Maybe a nice sirloin...
LOL! Depends on when I finish all the yard work! Spread 45 bags of 40lb. topsoil in the past two days. Painted the deck and white house trim, and now onto killing bugs.
I went easier on the jalapenos this time until we figure out how it came out. My husband, our 12 y.o. daughter, and me love hot salsa. The rest of the family doesn’t count, LOL. We have a good crop of peppers so far, with more on the plants (we’ve got four plants out there). The tomatoes are nice and juicy, and the onions seem to have good flavor. We’ve managed to get some really big cucumbers with a good flavor so far. This is our first year of gardening, so we’re still learning. We don’t have much room for a large garden because we’re on a city lot, but we did a raised bed that seems to be working for us.
Homemade mustard? Now you’ve got my interest! I love me some spicy and honey mustard :)
That's wonderful. So many times it is the seemingly mundane and insignificant events that trigger most pleasant thoughts and memories.
Again, thanks.
Pecan is awesome on beef.
It is to strong for pork or chicken.
“Yuengling” ?
Americas oldest brewery
but we did a raised bed that seems to be working for us>>>>>>
Definitely the way to go when space is limited. Looks like you garden is going well. It only gets better as the soil gets better. Yeah for the easy mustard recipes don’t buy ground up mustard. Buy the seeds, soak 24 hours, blend the next day with added vinegar, salt, honey.
“We had burgers and hotdogs. Best we could do in a deployed situation, but they were good. :)
We don’t want fireworks tonight, though.”
All thinking about you today!!!
Dunno why but Johnsonville brats are the best
We did not have to worry about the fireworks and I hope you don't get any tonight (guessing you in Indian country).
Happy 4th!
You bad, bad boy. My husband and son stared at that picture for about five straight minutes.
Barbecue porn. LOL
Got to be TEXAS!
I hope you have a GREAT Fourth!
Pork shoulder. Smoking it actually with a dry rub. Gonna pull it apart later and put it on buns with corn on the cob on the side and a little homemade cole slaw
Man, that’s sad. I’ve got a couple of good places here in Tuscaloosa. ARchibald’s, of course. Dreamland, although it is not what it used to be. Carlisle’s in Birmingham has (or had, I haven’t been there is a while) a very good western Carolina style sauce.
By the way, you western or eastern? I used to live in Winston-Salem although I was just a kid, and I lived in Asheville as a teenager for a year. Lived right outside the Biltmore grounds. Don’t remember any special cue, though.
