This & That (part II)

Some folks asked what rib tips were, this is the proper name for riblets. Riblets are like beef short ribs, small pieces of meat (pork) on the bone from the cut above the tenderloin pork chop, maybe an inch in length of meat and bone, not a full cut rack of ribs.

They make great appetizers.

Hope this clears everything up...

This & That...

Most people hate the taste of beer - to begin with. It is, however, a prejudice that many people have been able to overcome.

The Weekend Report will be posted Sunday.


If Mr. Sunshine will come out and play today, I have a lot of work to do, if not, it will have to wait until he does. The grills will also be fired up this weekend with chicken & steaks & rib tips.

I was talking to the butcher at a store yesterday about rib tips (they only had one package) and he told me that they most of the time just throw them away. Nobody wants them. (Enter Big daddy to the rescue...)

Hang on there Jethro... I'll take them, don't 86 'em, they make good grilled appetizers. Ain't nothing like grilled Hot wings & rib tips. Just save them and call me. (I'll freeze them)

Nobody wants them...what in the hell is wrong with these people...

Oh, I forgot... it was the blue blood side of town, no wonder they just toss them.

Oh well, sorry about your luck...they're mine now.

Bah,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha...


Enjoy your day!!!

Simply Thursday...

Man alive, it has rained for the past three days non-stop. Good rain, but a little late in the game. The yard will recover next year (I hope) but I will have to redo some of the landscaping next year because it "fall down go boom..."

Anyway, Mr. Sunshine is peeking out from behind the clouds today and it has gotten a lot cooler in the last few days. If you have been a reader of this blog for some time, you know how I feel about that...

If not, let me explain it to you in the short answer, I am not a Polar bear, I hate cold weather with a passion. There...I said it, there ain't too many things in this world I hate...

Warm beer is number one, cold weather is number two...and my hate list is not that long, but those two take top priority and will never get shuffled around in the mix.

What are some of the other things you hate B.D.?

People that ask me stupid questions...

Oh, sorry...

Now, there are no stupid questions when it comes to cooking, everything else is... let's just say, questionable...But, that's just me...

Anyway, sorry I didn't post Wordless yesterday, I had a errand to run after work and then had to get ready for bowling.

It may be getting close to time for pulling out the ole Chili Pot and fixing up a batch (Vicky & Steve)

Woo-Hoo!!!


Enjoy your day!!!

This & That...

My girls didn't do that great this weekend bowling, but they enjoyed themselves and drank a few brews and didn't feel any pain afterward. (you go girls)

But, I have found out one of my girls has an obsession, and it's not with bowling...it's with my voice.

She is deeply in love with my whiskey & cigarette voice. A deep southern voice.

A voice...you would never forget if you heard it. A voice that is real, never fake, never unreal, just my voice, deep, southern, and honest...

All of my girls love my voice and they love me...for me, the way I am, for who I am and for the way I treat Julie.

I'm honored that this is the case and you love my voice, but when you love my heart as some of my girls do, then you're a true B.D.'s girl.

And I can count those girls on one hand...

Weekend Report...

Not much going on this weekend. I had to work yesterday, Julie and some of my girls have gone to Huntsville to bowl. Robyn, is with Mishy and Granny, so it's just me and the Black bear.

I missed Tennessee getting creamed by Alabama yesterday. I know some of our friends are doing their happy dance because of that fact. That's OK...

I'm fixing a roast for tonight, since I haven't done one in a while, so I'm giving the grills a rest for a day or two.

Besides that...not much else going on, just peace and quiet.

Enjoy your day!!!

Simply Thursday...

We finally got some much, much needed rain last night. Next spring, I will have to replace some shrubs and maybe a few trees. That late spring freeze and then extreme heat and drought took a toll on some things around here. The grass looks terrible, all that hard work the last two years down the tubes in one season.

As Charlie Brown would say "Rats..." But, we'll get through it.


Someone else (or something else) also had a B-day Oct. 16th.

Pat Martin's Joint has been open for one year selling Bar-B-Que.



A hardy congrats goes out to Pat and his lovely wife Martha for all the crap they have gone through to keep this place running and striving to feed folks some of the best barbecue around. Way to go Hog head...not bad for a white boy.

If you haven't done it already, read Pat Martin's Blog (link on the right). He tells all about the crap he has gone through to start his dream and his life up to this point.

Pat, is just like me, we can BS all day long, but we don't take any BS off anybody, we work hard, we play hard, and it's all about the Q. The only difference between Pat and myself (besides age and good looks on my part) is Pat is just a tad bit more outspoken than I am. Which, is a good thing on his part, he tells it like it is.

Again, 'Congrats Hog head' on the one year anniversary.

Well... Got to go to work.

Enjoy your day!!!
