Weekend Report...(partII)

Rain?
This time of year...



What the hell is that?

All of the TV stations with their predictor forecast, kill me...



Stick your head out the window and look at the sky...They do their fancy song and dance and have fancy equipment to track and tell and whatever else...but what the hell, it is more miss than hit...

All in all...10 minutes worth of rain yesterday.

A forecast of a washed out weekend...where did that come from? I hope they don't pay these people an exuberant salary because they were way off the mark...

Predict this...Look out the frigging window you moron...

Gee, B.D. is something bugging you?

Yeah...pretty much all of the world is on my shit list right now...But, after a few thousand beers...I'll get over it.


Did a little cooking despite the so called washed out weekend...

Weekend Report...

Not much going on this weekend...it's suppose to start raining around lunch time and throughout the evening, which is fine by me because we sure need it!

I have to work tomorrow. So I guess today...

I'll just stay inside and participate in some cold adult beverages and hope it rains enough to drown these dang pesky ass flies that seem to live for making a mad dash for the door to get inside the house every time you open it.

Look here Jethro...

You've got the whole world to be free in, but no...you just have to spend your short life in my backyard pestering me, then...you have the gall to come into my kingdom, my castle and play fighter pilot making me chase you out of every nook and cranny until I pull out the big guns and splatter your now dead behind into oblivion...

Stupid fly...

Working for the weekend...

You know...

Things have gotten so crazy at work here lately, I don't know which way is up.

It has come down to, I can't plan a damn thing...



Everything has become so screwed up in this nation...it's not even funny anymore. Who in the hell calls the shots?

It damn sure ain't you and me. If I called the shots, I would tell the world to get over yourself right quick. But...this country, has gone nuts...



The world has gone crazy...

Let me off of this screwed up ride. I can put up with people (but not tolerate very well) who think they are God, I can put up with an arrogant butt wipe, (but you will get no respect from me)...ignorance is bliss?

I doubt it...

Stupidity...is contagious...

Get me the hell out of here...

Before my brain kicks in and says the hell with it...

Simply Tuesday...

Well, Julie got her chicken leg quarters tonight...



I cooked me some breast...

I could get involved about that and throw a pun in there, but I won't...

I'll just say, a little breast, never hurt anybody...

(GGG)

Simply Monday...

Well, my girls are back home from vacation.



Maybe now, things will get back to normal...



I plan on doing some cooking this week and this weekend. I found a nice choice brisket that I need to cook and may do some shoulders for pulled pork this weekend.

But first up on the menu...will be chicken.



Julie, has to have her bird...after a week of eating seafood.



B.D.

Weekend Report...

Well I got the grass cut and now I'm just waiting for Julie to get back in town so I can go to West Nashville and pick up her and Robyn and hear all about the jelly fish that was all over the place at the beach...




Bought gas for my truck yesterday and I will have to put gas in her vehicle today.

Ouch...That's a hundred dollars worth of beer down the drain or in the tank, I should say...

Now, I'll just twiddle my thumbs until the phone rings to pick up my girls...

Enjoy your day!!!

Working for the weekend...

A lot of guys would be glad to get rid of their wife for a week.

Me...I miss my wife and daughter.

My wife is...

She is my better half.
She is my friend.
She is my lover.
She is my partner.
She is my love.
She is my life.
She is my companion.

She is my wife...

I have never loved anyone, as much as I love her...

She will be home tomorrow, and I'm glad...

My daughter Robyn, is also my life, she is a jewel of light upon a cloud of darkness. The house is empty and my soul, is not the same when they are gone. I will be happy when they come home tomorrow.

I miss my wife Julie and my daughter Robyn.

They are my light that keeps me grounded upon a world of darkness...

I thank God for that...

Simply Thursday...

I sent some of my bbq rub to WhiteTrashBBQ in New York, Brooklyn actually, for his review and 2 cents. Why did I do this?

He is a fellow Q'er and I wanted his opinion.



I have road tested this rub to great extremes and it has had great reviews. But I have to have one last road test...

Why?

To boost my ego?
To say that I'm the best?
To say I told you so?

No...I don't doubt my skills at all when it comes to cooking.

I just have to be sure...And Trash, will give me an honest opinion.

Barbecue is an art, anything you do will reflect that...

I know my art is good, but asking never hurts anybody.

Wordless Wednesday...

Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius. - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Simply Tuesday...

Now...what's wrong with this picture?
My wife is in Florida, I'm home alone...



(well almost...I have Sweetie)

Why am I not partying and staying out on the town until all hours of the morning?



Simple...

I love my wife and I'm to freaking old to do that crap anymore. I don't recover as fast as I use too...

If I had the choice of looking at a hot babe or looking at a cold beer in the fridge? The beer would win out...

But if my wife was the hot babe holding the cold beer...

I would be in heaven.

Party at my house...(when my wife comes back)

B.D.

Weekend Report...

I fixed my woman up tonight before she hits the road...











That should keep her happy, until she gets back...

B.D.

Working for the Weekend...

Well...

I was going to fire up 'Big Momma' tomorrow, but duty calls and I have to work for a few hours or half a day, so that's out...

Julie and the crew will be heading out to Florida Sunday, so it will be just me and Sweetie next week. I can't go because of work, so I'm on my own.



My black bear and me...

So, we'll do what we always do here, without my better half and my little one until they return to me.

My heart misses them already...

Simply Tuesday...

Did the smoked meatloaf...

And it turned out killer.









Recipe:

2 1/2 lbs hamburger meat
Diced onions
Diced green bell peppers
Half a tube of crushed Ritz crackers
Two whole eggs
My rub
My sauce

Cooked for 1 hour on the Weber with pecan wood smoke.

Now this ain't the prettiest meatloaf ever made, but it turned out dang good.

Oh yeah babe...

I will do that again.

B.D.

Monday...already...

Hot, hot weekend...

Fired up the Weber and guess what we had...





But Tuesday, I'll dive in and make that smoked meatloaf. I have sauce ready just for that.

Got to go...

B.D.

Working for the weekend...

MacDaddy's Grill will be closed this weekend...

Robyn, has a dance recital Saturday afternoon, so no cooking that day. Might do something Sunday. It won't be Q, but you can never tell about me...

I may try that recipe for smoked meatloaf from WhiteTrashBBQ.


I have to make some sauce up for a guy at work, so I'll have some extra on hand, yep... might just try making the smoked meatloaf.

Should be good. I'll let you know...

Enjoy your weekend!!!

Tennessee Crossroads...

My buddy Pat Martin (Hog Head) will be featured on Tennessee Crossroads tonight at 7 o'clock on Channel 8 (PBS) along with other great BBQ joints around here in Tennessee.

If you have the time, check it out...

Should be some great Q.

That reminds me...

I need to call him and give him a good cussing...it keeps the boy on his toes.

Weekend Report...

The girls are gone...

Julie went bowling with Vicky & Tracy, Robyn went with Mish & Granny, so it's just me & Sweetie (my black bear Labrador Retriever)

Didn't do much yesterday, just cut the grass and planted some tomato plants. Good thing too...About 2 o'clock this morning all hell broke loose.

A thunder storm from the very depths of hell parked over our neighborhood and dumped thunder, lighting and rain on us for well over two hours. I haven't seen it that bad in a long, long time.

We have had some rain storms that would wash you out of your shorts, but this one...

The power went out and didn't come back on until 4 o'clock, thunder shook this house many times and lighting...well let's just say that was hitting a little too close for comfort...

You could hear the air crack and expand as lighting whizzed by overhead. That's too close...




I thought about firing up Big Mama and have some Q ready when the girls come back from bowling, but I'll wait for a weekend, that way I get Steve O up here and he can hang out and enjoy the view.

I've talked to Robert of WhiteTrashBBQ and I'm going to send some rub for him to try and give me his feedback on it. If you read WhiteTrash, you know he loves barbecue and being in New York and being buddies with The Hampton Smoker, Q runs in their blood, so I want to get an opinion from Trash (that's what I call him) and hear his two cents on it.

And if he likes it, great.
If not, no harm no foul.

I know from reading his blog, he'll tell me straight up.

Enjoy your day!!!

I've got things to get done before beer thirty gets here...
