Light Show on The Grill Deck

I got an early Christmas present this week! My wife bought me a palm tree with Christmas lights strung on it. I screwed the base of the tree to the Cyber Cigar Lounge located just above the hot tub deck.

Since I am a chile pepper fanatic I strung some chile pepper lights on the tree which makes it look like the peppers are growing on the tree. Except for the fact that is snowing all weekend long I would leave the tree out all lit. Stay tuned for some pix of the tree.

As soon as the snowy weekend is done I plan on grilling some stuffed chicken breasts. Hopefully on Monday.....................

Tropic-Al

Welcome to Our New Look

It's been awhile indeed but we are back. The island had it's first ice storms this week forcing us to take everything down except our pirate flag!

Tropic-Al is pleased to announce our newly revised blog dedicated to all things Tropic-Al. Especially new is TIKI BAR TV (powered by the changing tides) from You Tube on cooking, grilling, and more.

The Coral Reef Journal (our island newspaper) is alive with articles on everything fun and sun!

Many people were worried about our college boy look on the old blog. But be advised the new look is just as outlandish as Tropic-Al's itself.

All that's left is the podcast. We just need to install the antennae washed out to sea during the July monsoons!

So welcome aboard scaly wags.....................

Takin My Lumps

I was headin down the NYS thruway three weeks ago in the middle of the Noreaster. At about 5 miles below Kingston, NY at 65 MPH a large turkey decided to try it's owm kamikaze trick. The damn thing crashed into my windshield. Glass and feathers all over the place.

Every thing is fine now and my car is back in tune. Gave me some extra time to read up on smokin. Bought a weber kettle and added the smokinator to it. Great little device that turns an awesome grill into an outrageous grill.
