(y) When my parents went "out for dinner" The Butterfly was often their choice.

I mentioned National Kissing Day to my wife this morning, but she didn't seem to enthused. Maybe I shouldn't have suggested I celebrate it with her sister.

Yep, agreed...Chuck needs to get off his lazy butt and get some mowing done. ;)

About time my a**...around here this is July/August weather, and even in that context it's what used to be out of the ordinary.

Throw an eclair into the mix...seems like it should also be National Go-Brush-Your-Teeth-Before-You-Even-Think-About-Getting-Near-Me Day as well.

Who's that young guy?;)

So in theory if I could break down a pork butt into subatomic particles I'd have all bark and pretty much zero cooking time. Now I just have to find a grate with *really* close bars...

Don't try to use plastic wrap when the ceiling fan's on. Trust me on this one.

Now that's a Southsider if I've ever seen one.;)

Today I picked up some dry-aged pork chops and plan on seasoning them tonight for tomorrow's supper. I have very little experience with dry-aged meat, so I have a question. Does dry-aged red meat require less, the same, or more salt for the same flavor effect? The theory with advance salting...

Was there any mention of the actual producers of the sausages on the boxes?

Very erratically and infrequently at this point. I have a backlog of photos that need to be processed, but I've been pretty pressed for time lately. In fact, I probably should be doing that now instead of wandering around here...;)

An acorn nut to luck the first nut in place would work. You could also try Loctite 271 (red high strength) to hold the nut in place, although I don't know how well it would hold up to heat cycling.

Keith, don't take this the wrong way, but... You are in North Carolina, a state with a long and rich barbecued pork history. Why on God's green earth are you considering pork advice from a Texan?;) But in all seriousness, I get what he's doing. More surface area = more bark, and that's a lot...

That's not uncommon for someone in your, um, "demographic". ;) If you use locking nuts with nylon inserts, put the nuts on the outside of the bowl so they'll be farther away from the heat. Don't put any kind of spacer or washer between the vent disc and the bowl because it'll create a gap...

This has "winter Sunday night" written all over it! And as good as the potatoes look, I think a loaf of freshly baked bread would be just as enjoyable.

Welcome, Jay! I can't answer any of your questions because I burn charcoal and wood... ...but is working at/on a golf course as much fun as I've always thought it would be?

If you cooked them on a solid surface like a griddle the extra fat would've probably let you cook them longer without drying them out, and you could've gotten a nice crust. I say that in the interest of science you need to replicate this cook and give the burgers more time. I'd offer to help...

I'm pretty sure that you swearing would consist of a lot of "Gosh darn!" and "Dagnabbit!". And maybe a "Criminy!" or 2 if you were really ticked. ;)

Whoa, talk about timing...the butcher shop I visited last weekend also had pork coppa steaks in the case! It's the oinky equivalent of a beef chuck eye steak. They might have a little bit of chew, but being from the shoulder they should also have a not-so-little bit of flavor. If they're not...
