The Weather Won't Cooperate

Well Merry Christmas and Happy Grillin New Year to all our visitors. The podcast will return for Monday December 24th. I know I have been promising that but I took Christmas eve off to do just that...............get back on the air waves.

Anyway a warm Sunday is coming up but again RAIN. Every Sunday now for five straight weeks it's been rain/sleet/snow. Can't grill in the sleet but the snow poses no problems.

Chestnuts roasted on an open grill.....
Racks of ribs and burnt ends from pork butts....
Yuletide smoke coming from the bbq fire..
And stupid people in Grill mitts cookin in the snow...........

Although its' been smoked many times many ways...................
My ribs are better...................than yours!

Could've Stir Fried Today But.............

It is now freezing rain and all hope of grilled stuffed chicken breast with mozzarella basil and sage is gone. Then a wonderful idea struck me. Why not stir fry in our electric wok? Could not do the cheese of course but everything else would have worked.

I mean part of the fun of BBQin/grilling is getting to play with heat and flipping stuff around right? Well in a stir fry you get to keep flipping stuff and adding stuff with no flare ups. I mean I add beer and wine when I stir fry, then a little mustard, soy sauce you know keep adding stuff til it tastes right.

Well so much for the stir fry idea......my wife threw out the electric wok.
So I threw her out in the snow and freezing rain to go to Wally's World for a new one.

Until next time keep an even keel and full sail ahead for the lagoon!

Snow and Ice on Game Day

Nothing more annoying than more snow on a Sunday. This makes going to church impossible again. Third Sunday in a row here in the northeast that is has iced, snowed and sleeted up everything.

Not that that's bad but I do get a little guilty BBQing away the afternoon when I missed church. You know how BBQing is akin to sin in the feel good department. Good cue is so good it's almost sinful.

My BBQ deck is under 12 inches of snow along with the hot tub and cigar bar deck!

For the holidays I was given a bottle of Budweiser Wing Sauce. To be perfectly honest the stuff is not bad considering it's from Bud. The sauce is tangy enough with just enough heat. I have used it on hot dogs, turkey sandwiches and more. Good ingredients, low on the preservatives and plenty of good flavor.
