    First beef ribs on the WSM

    Indeed. Those bones can hold some heat. Skin the back sides as much as possible. Beef rib membrane is much tougher than pork. Which cut of ribs did you get? Spare, plate or short? From a personal preference standpoint, I like beef ribs with minimal seasonings: salt, pepper, and garlic...

    Taco Tuesday - on the job site

    Is that bulk taco seasoning that's laid in the wheelbarrow under the charcoal? Regardless of what it is, I'd wonder about the amount of lighter fluid that gets absorbed into it and never burns off. Hard no for me.

    Fridge getting old.......REALLY old

    If anything, this thread makes one thing pretty obvious: A bunch of y'all need to turn in your Man Cards. Want ice? Fill some ice trays (those vintage aluminum trays with the levered cube release are awesome) from the kitchen faucet and put 'em in the freezer. Want cold water? Fill a glass...

    Say Hey!

    I was too young to see Willie Mays in his prime but I've been able to see a lot of his highlights over the years, and from them I learned that baseball is far, far more than just hitting (although that's sadly lost on a lot of modern players). Know a kid who's expressed an interest in the game...

    Incredible BASEBALL

    Omaha isn't too terribly far from me, so it's not unfathomable to think that a CWS game might be in my future.

    How long does your WSM run on a single load of fuel?

    How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop? One, two, threeee...CRUNCH! It's a tough question. Different cooks require different charcoal loads, there's smoke wood to figure in, and if the WSM's been holding steady for what seems like a really long time I'm probably...

    Fridge getting old.......REALLY old

    Don't wanna get busted? ;) We've had a 22 cu. ft. bottom freezer Amana for a number of years now. Every so often - like tonight, in fact - I have to empty the freezer, remove the rear panel and manually defrost the coils and fins. Apparently ours was an early model and the freezer duct tube...

    The invasion is beginning.

    If cicadas are considered delectable by the aforementioned possum as well as the other random critters that wander through the yard from time to time, maybe that's why I'm not hearing them. Maybe I need to listen for crunching and the occasional belch instead. ;)

    The invasion is beginning.

    I just stepped outside and listened, no cicadas. So maybe they're not here yet. Come to think of it, I haven't heard much from the peepers that're usually around, either. However, I did have to yell "You go home!" at the possum nosing around under the bird feeders.

    Memorial Day Sirloin Cap

    Picanha! I cooked a few a few years back and they were quite good, especially when thinly sliced.

    The invasion is beginning.

    From what I've heard of Malort, cicadas are an improvement. June 20 is Cicada Night at the Kane County Cougars.;) We were in Brookfield (IL) last Saturday and could hear the cicadas. I heard them every summer when I was a kid, and it was actually a bit nostalgic.

    Curb Alert !!!

    Contact the seller/giver-awayer. If he'll hold it until Monday I'll pick it up and bring it along the next time I visit The Big Valley.
