This & That...

Tonight's dinner.

Beef short ribs, smoked for 3hrs. 45 mins. at 225.

They were a little bit more done than I would have liked.
So next time, 3 hrs. should be just fine. But this is still a work in progress. Last time, I didn't cook them long enough and this time, I cooked them just a tad bit too long.

But you learn from your mistakes...

The next go round, I will be spot on baby.

Sorry these are not the best pictures in the world. My picture machine was about to bonk out because of low batteries.

Weekend Report...

We got a little surprise last night or early this morning. It's not a big snow by any means but it reminds you that it ain't warm yet...









Oh well...

My son called me last night and told me that he and Amanda got married that morning. That's great...

And he also told me that Amanda entered a chili cook off and took second place. She had added the rub I gave them to the chili and thinks that made a big difference. Now, they put it on everything, ( I've had more than a few folks tell me that. )




I had a gal tell me her son loved it so much she had to hide it from him. He even wanted to put it on his oatmeal...( I'm not kidding )

Bruce told me that he has some sales lined up for the rub and the BBQ sauce. Spring will be here soon and orders for the rub will pick back up as grilling season comes back to life. And now, people are finding out I have a BBQ sauce, so I've given out a few test samples and just like the rub, the results and feed back are outstanding.

Speaking of the BBQ sauce, I gave them some to take home because I'd sent some ribs home too for her dad. The ribs made it and he said they were the best ribs he'd ever had. The sauce didn't make it...What happened? ( I asked )

Bruce, liked the sauce so much while he was eating ribs here that he drank it on the way home. So Amanda's dad didn't get any BBQ sauce.

Hey, maybe I've hit a gold mine here...a BBQ sauce that you can eat AND drink...

Hey that might work. But, what would I call it...

BBQ sauce on the rocks?
This BBQ sauce is for you?
Wet willy? ( nah.. )

I'll think of something...

Simply Tuesday...

Uhm...B.D. it seems you're a little pissed by the post below. What's the deal?

I'm fed up with people...
I'm fed up with fake people...
I'm fed up with work...
I'm fed up...period.

I give two hundred percent into anything I do no matter what it is.

I'm just fed up with small minded people.
I'm fed up with having to be, or run, in the (so called) suck my...look at me group.

That's not my style...

I'm my own man. I know who my true friends are...

It's like this...my girls love me and they know me and I don't have to prove anything to them.

They know who I am and they know my passion. It's to bad that nobody else can figure that out.

I'm a winner, but it seems I will have to prove myself to mindless people.

So be it...

And the saying goes...

You know...when things happen, you find out who your friends are real quick.

It seems...that since I've decided to start my own team for KCBS and walk away from Peg Leg, nobody wants to have anything to do with me anymore...except for Dave, who has called me a few times. Dave and I worked well together.

But from the rest of the team's aspect, I'm an outcast, I left the team...

Well...let me tell you something boys...

In a year or two, I will come down to Memphis and take you on, or in KCBS, and I will kick your ass six ways from Sunday...

And...I can back my shit up.

You will realize who you have screwed with and also who carried the work load while you all got shit faced...

I have my team put together and there ain't no ass kissing or politics involved.

We cook...

We will win...

...that's a fact.
