I found these in the bottom of the freezer, i won't mention how old they are, it was either cook and eat or cook and throw out. They are on the grill. Cooked. Ready to taste. Plated This little guy sits on the swing outside my kitchen window facing in most times but he is guarding the feeder. Good news those thighs were tasty. Another save.

Our youngest daughter graduated from college and we had a graduation party for her on Saturday. I did a 13lb packer brisket on the KK and once it was resting we upped the temp and did burgers and dogs as well. I spun two pineapples using a recipe from John Setzler at the Guru: It was quite hectic as we had 30 family and friends over so I didn't get many pictures. Here are a few. The graduate, the brisket with black ops rub (man did that thing shrink) and the pineapple. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

FORBES: 5 Great Grills That Will Make You A Backyard BBQ Star by Larry Olmstead I'm lovin' this editorial. "The Komodo Kamado is an ultra-high quality, high-tech take on the kamado-style grill." Quotes by Chris Lilly, Steven Raichlen and Max Good of AmazingRibs.com

Basic idea off the Internet with a huge Bistro twist. Was off work today due to rain so we headed to Publix. I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves. A fantastic meal that was a bit easier to prepare than I thought it would be. The 2:1 mixture of ricotta:goat cheese was really good and will use that in the future for lasagna. I've made about 5 or 6 different versions of marinara sauce over the last month or two. I though I had it spot on the money. Dang this was far better than all the rest. Chef's notes: 1) Buy the fattest Rigatoni you can find for easy piping. I used No. 24. It was a bit fatter than std No. 31's. 2) I hate dried out baked pasta dishes. Add 1/2 cup water in the bottom of the dish to keep it nice and moist. Side story - Free Basil: So we went shopping at Publix today. At checkout this is how the conversation went with the checkout lady: Did you find everything you were looking for? No, there was no fresh basil! That's strange. That's what I thought. Did you ask anybody back there to see if there was any in the back stockroom? No, that's OK, I'll go across the street to Kroger. KROGER?!! Let me get you some. She called out to the customer service lady to find some basil and bring it up front. Just give me a minute I'll get you some frsh basil. I won't charge you for it. Okay. She finished checking me out and I stood off to the side. About 30 seconds later a guy from the back came and brought me a package of basil. I turned to the checkout lady: Thank you. You're welcome. Sorry the basil wasn't out on the shelf. Publix - the best in customer service.

Is MacKenzie starting trouble again? Nah I just can't see it. lol Yes I agree. There's a ton you can do with just the OctoForks....You're only limited by your imagination!

Wow, those thighs look amazing!

Rob, as you might guess I am partial to Maple Leaf but you just know where I live.

I think it would be nice to have a Buy/Sell Forum. Thoughts? Selfishly I have a One Grill Rotisserie set-up for a KK I'd like to list :).

Good looking meal.

Good looking enchiladas.

I'll never drive a Ferrari Enzo or a Bugatti Veyron or play a pre-war Martin 000-42 but I can cook on my KK anytime I want. That's good enough for me. Thanks, Dennis!
