    Chuck Eyes

    Chuck eyes are the bomb. I wish they were more common around here. I skim the meat dept for them and snatch them up on a rare sighting. Yours are beautiful. Nice cooking.

    I may have cooked my last chicken wing....

    I like wings, but wife prefers legs, so we alternate. Probably do legs a little more these days since the price of wings went crazy. I've never seen the butterfly method, but I can't wait to try it. If you have time, a good brine of wings or legs makes a noticeable difference in how plump...

    Leg of Lamb

    Nice cook. It's been too long since we did lamb on the rotisserie. I used to be able to get it at a reasonable price at Sam's, but even they have been very expensive lately. Definitely a treat now rather than a typical weekend cook.

    Greek chicken kebobs with red pepper and zukes

    Looks tasty. We do fajitas often by grilling chicken, onions, peppers, etc. This looks like a good way to put a different spin on that old favorite.

    Any lawyers in the house with estate planning experience?

    Attorneys routinely do a conflicts check before taking on a new client. They make sure that neither they nor any of their partners are involved in lawsuits or disputes where they may be adverse to to the potential new client. For example, your Uncle Joe is a beneficiary of the trust. But the...

    BEEF RIBS

    That's a fast cook. I picked up $38 worth of what was labeled Tomahawk Beef Ribs. They are similar in size to yours. I'm not sure how long it will take to get them to the right tender/bark stage, so an upcoming weekend is going to be a beef rib crap shoot.

    Thinking of Going to the Dark Side

    I had for years a Spirit that the burners ran left to right. The new ones look like they run front to back, which is worlds better for indirect cooking. I much prefer the Genesis that I bought to replace the Spirit (which a friend is still using many years later), but a lot of that has to do...

    GrillGrates working today

    Looks good. I love my Grill Grates on a Weber Genesis. In the summer, we often make fajitas by doing something similar to your cook. Sous vide chicken breasts (145 for 2 to 2.5 hrs), then finish on grill for a couple minutes to brown. Use the flat side of Grill Grates to cook up a pile of...

    Creole meatballs with grits

    That recipe reminded me of some similar ones. If you like Cajun/Creole style meatballs, the Acadiana Table site (which has many great Louisiana recipes) has a a couple for meatballs. Cajun Meatballs and Peppers Meatball Fricassée

    Christmas Dinner Advice Needed – Making Brisket in December

    We hosted Christmas one year with both families coming for brisket. The beautiful December weather went wIndy like I’d never seen on Christmas Eve night. Of course. We broke out every card table, lawn chair, etc. (anchored with firewood) to fashion wind breaks on all sides; the wind shifted...

    In the rain carne asada

    Pati Jinich had an episode of her PBS show where they talked about how carne asada is super popular in parts of northern Mexico. Like barbecue, the term describes the food and the social gathering. Apparently, the folks there throw a carne asada every chance they get. Looked like a blast.

    Xmas Eve Brisket - 1st Time

    It’s going to be gooooood. As others said, start early so you have plenty of time to get it done. I‘ve had one stay piping hot after as long as 4 hours wrapped in foil/towel in an ice chest. Better to have it done early so you can enjoy your company instead of stoking the smoker and fretting...

    WEBR goes private - breaking news

    I bought some stock a few weeks after the IPO. At the arranged sale price, I’ll lose enough to have paid for a nice new grill or smoker. Lesson learned. Mutual funds tend to do great for me, but when I get “smart“ and buy an individual stock it is doomed to failure.

    Pastrami on the 22" WSM

    That is some gorgeous pastrami. Nice work!

    Babi Guling Pulled Pork

    Thanks for the post and pics. I've had this on my list of things to try for a few years now. Did you make/use the seasoned coconut milk mopping sauce?

    Thor's Hammer Barria Tacos and Barria Pizza

    That looks fantastic. Birria is all the rage these days, and I am among the big fans.

    Rib Fail Today

    I take the membrane off now, but spent years not knowing it existed or that it could be removed. Never really caused an issue.

    Judged my first KCBS event

    So how much did you get/have to eat? Could you tell much difference among the entries?

    Pulled the trigger and added a WSM (18") to my cooking arsenal

    You got a heckuva bargain on your WSM. I paid full price for mine, but it has been well worth it over many years of good cooking. And I know at least 3 folks who bought one after eating with us. Enjoy yours!
