    Roasted Chile Dominant Salsa

    My ingredients used to include tomatillos, yellow onion, avocado, etc., but I found that -while it was still good- those things didn't add a whole lot to what *I* liked about the salsa, so now I spend less, labor less, and enjoy equally. :) However, my salsa endeavors are far from over, so who...

    Roasted Chile Dominant Salsa

    Sorry for the picture spam, but I found a more accurate portrayal of my prep these days, and a picture that best represents the final product:

    Roasted Chile Dominant Salsa

    I have been honing my salsa-makin' & cannin' chops for a few years now, and have decided that simpler has turned out not only to be cheaper, but better. Starting out, I would have many different herbs, spices, veggies, trying to make a complex salsa (avocado, tomatillo, tomato paste, lime...

    First Smoke Attempt, First Brisket

    Howdy, Charlie. I only found out that Brisket was one of the more complex smokes after I had already committed. I suppose it's better to start out with the most difficult. :D Spring Creek and Ohio, here. But my heart (and my smoker) is in Newhope, Arkansas. :)

    First Smoke Attempt, First Brisket

    It was a full packer, I'm pretty sure.

    First Smoke Attempt, First Brisket

    I hope to try another one in June when I make a trip back to Arkansas. If I do okay on the second round, maybe it's safe to think it wasn't just a lucky first attempt. :)

    A Kine Deer Chili

    After it cooks in the crockpot for several hours, it darkens, and those chiles permeate flavor throughout the whole dish. It is some kind of wonderful. But I sure don't complain when mama just browns some ground beef and adds some tomatoes paste and Williams chili seasoning with a few jalapeños...

    A Kine Deer Chili

    Well, it ain't a "side item," but it ain't smoked meat, either, so I was unsure where else to post it. I've been testin' my chili chops for a few years now, and below is the general direction I go when preparing a batch.  This includes deer meat in addition to cow, but all beef works too...

    First Smoke Attempt, First Brisket

    Howdy, Friends.  I smoked my first Brisket this Saturday. Actually, not only was it my first Brisket, but it was my first attempt at smokin' meat, period. I was a'feared that I would foul it up pretty badly, but it turned out pretty good. I recently acquired a Weber Smokey Mountain smoker at no...

    Howdy, Folks

    Howdy, Folks. I'm an ArkaTexan or TexArkansan -however you'd like to say it. Texas Born, Arkansas Grown, and back in Texas now (with a little bit of Louisianan too). Hillbilly in accent and at heart, exiled to the cement jungle of DFW. I am brand new to the smoking world, recently acquired a...
