A Sip Of Wine, A Cigarette

Well, quite the weekend. Spent it listening to Leonard Cohen "Ten New Songs" on vinyl. And Throwing three hell of a bar-b-ques. Yes three. See the highlights below.

Smoking the day away. . .

How about a little mop sauce, This one has rum in it.

Eight hour Turkey Roast. Tender enough to fall apart.

Hows about a little Pork Butt?

This damn beef Brisket is bigger than my microwave! It ended up on the Bar-b-que for 11 hours on Memorial day. Wow. To die for.

Host Organism. . .

Funny, I guess the reasoning behind this is the fact that I am making Kombucha on top of the fridge. and I guess also that I regularly drink Kefir as well. I do find that I feel better when I do, so most likely I will continue to drink this stuff pretty regular. But yes, people have taken to calling me Host Organism, so that humorous or not is the reason behind that. I have a 11 lb beef brisket, a 4 lb pork butt and a 4 lb turkey roast I will be smoking this weekend. MMMM. perhaps more on that later.

Didn't know yet what I'd know when I was bleedin'

Well It has recently come to my attention that my favorite slurpee has officially changed. The reigning king is no longer frozen Dr. Pepper. See, after spending a portion of the day experiencing the joys of yardwork, I had the distinct pleasure of taking a break and riding to the local Shell station where I found a new taste sensation. All hail the new reigning king and its name is a tasty little thing called "Orange Mango".

In other news, a little while back I purchased a new barbeque grill. A "Char-Griller Super Pro". I must say it is absolutely amazing. I am very impressed. It even has cast iron grates. Now, I just need the smoker box attachment. My brother Chris and I have essentially been living off the grill. Beer can chicken, Smoked pork loin and last night, Smoked trout. I have three kinds of wood for smoking. I am using Alder for fish with Mesquite or Hickory for the balance. There really is nothing like kicking back with a beer to keep your hand cold, putting your feet up and watching the smoke roll out the chimney. Yeah, things at my place are pretty rough.

Another excellent dinner

Eating like a king... at least for the moment. Some "srimp for strenth" with a little cajun shake,
Steamed baby reds with balsamic, grilled asparagus, Ball tip with punjab piledriver and one little lobster claw, top it off with a alaskan amber and it is not a bad way to wrap up a day of fishing with your brother. . .
