If you hadn't told me what it was, I'd have guessed gumbo.

Nice job! FYI - Tasmanian Pepper Berry is known around here as "Purple Crack!" I just put some on a tomato for a turkey sandwich for lunch.

👍👍

Love the pic of the pooch! Everyone be safe. As crazy as it sounds, we'll be 60F here on Friday, but only 30F on Saturday. March can't make up its mind if it wants to come in like lion or lamb?

I've been to Alice's Restaurant!

I remember those!

Be safe out there!

Nice Fatty!

It's not the snow that usually deters me from grilling, it's the temperature. I don't grill out when the windchill has a minus sign in front of it!! 🥶

I understand your pain. I didn't cook out the entire month of January due to our bitter cold here. My 1st cook of 2026 was February 9th. Go over to the Everyday Cooks posts to see what folks have been up to lately. I posted my cooks from last week's reprieve from the cold there.

Excellent job on those dinos! Understand completely about the wanting to grill after the cold weather breaks. We've been in the upper 50s here this week and maybe hitting upper 60s tomorrow! Wish that I could say that it's going to last, but it won't. Highs back to the upper 30s by next weekend.

It was garlic toast actually. No butter, just rubbed a raw clove of garlic over the toasted bread. Sometimes I will drizzle some EVOO on it.

Thanks. Good to be back grilling. Another cook last night. Teriyaki chicken with roasted smashed potatoes and Greek green beans.

A bit of advice from past experience - I see that you have your temperature probes perpendicular to the axis of rotation. I've had drippings run down them and block the signal as it cakes up on the ends. I try and insert my probes parallel to the rotisserie shaft to prevent that. Just sayin'

Welcome to the Obsession! Looks like you're off to a good start. Keep posting! I hear yah about the weather. Last night was my 1st cook of 2026. January was just brutal cold here. Finally getting above freezing.
