A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about. For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover. In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside. She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $95,000. "When we were to be married,' she said, ' my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll.' The little old man was so moved, he had to fight back tears. Only two dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years! 'Honey,' he said, 'that explains the dolls, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?' 'Oh,' she said, 'that's the money I made from selling the dolls.

Cooked the cusseta chicken last night for a dinner party (recipe in prior post on this thread). Kk42, basket splitter set up with charcoal in the center. As you can see, indirect with foil on main grate. Food on upper grate. Used thermoworks billows for temp control. Took about 90 mins to fully heat soak the grill. Temp at 325, used cold smoker attachment with pellets for a modest amount of clean smoke. Basted the chicken every 15-20 mins per recipe. Cooking time - 2 hrs. Results were awesome. This recipe does not produce crispy skin due to basting and vinegar in basting sauce but the flavor is great. If I were trying for crispy skin it would be air drying the chicken overnight, cooking with a dry rub, probe the chicken, no opening the lid, start a little higher maybe at 350, and allow the temperature to creep higher towards the end of the cook.

I wonder if wished he had made her angry more often?

Here is the end of season pizza cook from yesterday. It was about 4C but no wind so it was really quite nice. Did 6 pizzas and and we were very happy with the results.

Chicken cooked on top rack of KK. All that fat came out of the chicken and was super yummy on roasted potatoes. Cooked for 45 mins at 210C and reached internal temp 89C.

Big mixed grill tonight… Cevapcicci, pork sausages, a burger patty, Malaysian chicken satay skewers, lamb skewers, scotch fillet steak. With grilled asparagus, potato, corn, mushrooms. A nice varied dinner!

Here we are at 5PM and it's pitch dark outside. Fired up the KK to cook chicken thighs. Plated.
