Naw, they were sitting on the ice - built in cooler! LOL

Thanks for the compliments. That was a lot of ribs. Been using up leftovers for the last 2 days and still have some left! Yesterday shaved off the meat into a mushroom and cheese omelet and today was a shaved beef and cheddar sandwich. Gotta come up with another idea to use up that last piece??

Way to hang in there, Aussie! I'll turn you into a "Chilehead" yet!

Gorgeous Thai Beef Salad, Shuley!

I've tried Humphrey's and liked it, but it's costly to have shipped here and no one locally carries it. Some good news, I recently scored a couple of bags of Wicked Good Charcoal's Weekend Warrior at Hawgeyes BBQ in Ankeny. I thought they were out of business after a major fire destroyed/heavily damage their facility. So look for them at your local ACE Hardware, it really is "wicked good." From their webpage " You can order the same great "Weekend Warrior Blend" bags through your local Ace Hardware Store. If you don't see WGC on their shelves (or website) speak with the Owner or Store Manager and request that he/she order bag(s) of Wicked Good Charcoal through their Ace warehouse ... Ace Item No. 8322786.

Yes there is and it's called Dark Autumn Nebula!

Great sammie, MacKenzie. Getting caught up from the chaos of having my PC go wonky last week. Did manage to get in a nice cook on Sunday to take advantage of the almost warm weather. Thawed out some veal short ribs that I'd scored during a sale on D'Artagnan a while back that were taking up space in the freezer. Rubbed with yellow mustard and each rack got a different dry rub. Just for grins. Onto the KK at 250F, indirect, with smoker pot of post oak, pecan and apple chunks. Pulled at IT of 190F. Plated with black garlic mashed potatoes (sous vide) and some coconut curry green beans. Favorite was the Plow Boys Bovine Bold. (sorry for the misoriented pics - I'm blaming this silly PC! And the uploads are taking for-ev-er!)

OK, while I still have to pull for the USA, I am seriously impressed with the Canuck ladies drinking beers after the game on the ice!

Just passing along what Dennis has told us before - just sayin'!

Can't wait to watch that match! First one was outstanding.

I only make half batches with mine and they go fairly quickly (less that 2 weeks). There's emulsifiers in the Good Seasonings mix, so it stays blended.

As noted, the pebbled ones have more grout, so during the one time venting process, they will vent more and are more likely to have tiles bulge up a bit. Other than that, it's down to aesthetics, just like color.

LOL!!!

Nice pie and cute baby!

Battle of the Titans!!

Nicely done. Break a leg, kid!

I cook lamb fairly regularly. Those chops look great. I use a "house" blend - Greek, Turkish and Moroccan spices on most lamb cooks.

Nice pork chops.

They are a heritage breed and NOT the "other white meat!"

How about this one?

Smoked pork chops were my favorite meal as a kid - I still like them a lot now, too! Don't eat them that often, though, too many other yummy things out there competing for plate time!

That was twisted, man!

I was looking for it, as it wouldn't have been an Aussie burger without it! How was the Swamp Venom? One of their spicier blends.
