    Mom Is Finally At Peace....God Rest Her Soul

    As a number of you are aware, I moved my mom down here to TX from VA about a year ago. Her living conditions there were abysmal due to some underhanded activities by another "family" member. From the second we pulled the moving van into the driveway, she was absolutely in love with this place...

Sadly, time did not permit me to reply to the last several entries that came in. For that, I do apologize. I did however take time to go back...

    February Throwdown: Chili, Soups, And Stews (Gonna Be Fun!!)

    Well ladies and gentlemen, it's time again for another Throwdown. As the title of the thread states, it will be Chili, Soups, and Stews based on one of our sub-forums. Chris (@gmc2003) and I actually came up with this idea about 6 months ago but decided it'd be best as a cold-weather event...

    And The Leftovers Throwdown Winners Are.....

    Apologies for the delay in getting this posted. A couple of our judges have had some stuff going on that took a lot of their time recently and one of them has been a bit under the weather. Got all the votes in though and added them up. Wow, this one was VERY close with only one point separating...

    Leftovers TD Entries

    Well ladies and gentlemen, we are down to the final two days to get those entries sent in. Chris and I decided on this theme because almost everybody has a ton of leftovers after the holiday and we thought it'd give lots and lots of people an opportunity to participate. Sadly, thus far the...

    My Recent Absence Explained

    Howdy all. Been a pretty depressing couple of weeks and has caused another extended absence from the forum. As a lot of you know, we recently moved my mom down here from Northern VA due to her living in squalor because of some less-than-honorable activity by my brother. As soon as she got here...

    Birthday Brisket For Tracy W/ A Surprise

    Yesterday was actually Tracy's birthday but due to the weather turning really nasty yesterday, we did this on Saturday when it was close to 90 degrees and just a really nice day. We are not materialistic people and both of us come from humble roots so when I asked her what she wanted for her...

    She Asked For Texas Q: Beef And Pork Rib Feast (Heavy Q-View)

    One of the things mom asked me to cook for her at some point was some Texas style BBQ. She was born and raised in Northern VA and that area is not exactly famous for their style of BBQ....like it doesn't exist. They have some BBQ joints but nothing close to their own style. Discussed a few...

    David And Joe: A Tale Of Two Heroes

    As some of you already know, our very good friend David (@DRKsmoking) won 1st place in the Judge's Voting for the Labor Day Throwdown. That prize was a really nice meat package from Joe at CPB. Unfortunately the meat cannot be shipped to Canada though. It would sit at Customs for so long all of...

    A Message From Mom For Y'all & A Smoked Meatloaf (Long Read & Some Pics)

    Whew....the past couple of weeks have been an absolute whirlwind. As some of you know, my only sibling has taken it upon himself to rid mom of pretty much everything: all of her money and almost everything of value she owned. For several months she has had no means to pay her bills or buy food...

    Labor Day Throwdown Voting Poll....Finally (Edited: Please Read)

    Somehow #16) did not get posted in the voting section of the poll. This poll has caused numerous issues that I've tried to work through but the system will not allow me to change the order of the entries as they are listed for voting so #16) can be put in sequential order. Therefore it is at the...

    Labor Day TD Voting Delayed

    Ladies and gentlemen, I hate to do this but the voting polls for the TD is going to be delayed for a few days. I'm in VA dealing with a very serious situation where my mother is concerned. I'll be loading up some of her stuff shortly, moving her to TX, and getting her set up in an assisted...

    Well Brian (@BrianGSDTexoma) you've mentioned a few times recently that you miss the homemade pasta dishes. Well my friend, this one is for you buddy :emoji_wink: As hot as it's been recently it's been difficult to get motivated to do much of anything except hang out in the pool sipping...

    Hatch Chile Enchiladas

    Been running the gamut with the Hatch chilies recently. The fresh ones are gone now it appears but I made this dinner last week. Was in the mood for Mexican so thought I'd do a Tex Mex twist on an old staple and incorporate the Hatch chilies in some enchiladas. Start out cutting up a big Hatch...

    Hunan Beef: A tribute To "Brian The Enabler"

    I don't know if Brian (@BrianGSDTexoma) intentionally set out to become an honorary member of the Exalted Order Of The Enablers or not, but it seems to have happened....as improbable as it may seem. I'd almost bet that he has been taking private lessons from the Enabler In Chief himself @Steve H...

    Smoked Picanha: Braving The Heat For Alpha Brat (Mega Food & Pet Pics)

    No, "Brat" is not short for Bratwurst :emoji_laughing: I have two daughters from my previous marriage. Many years ago I dubbed Courtney, the oldest, as Alpha Brat and her younger sister Candice, as Beta Brat. The monikers have stuck with them and that's how they are referred to still today...

    So I Made Brian's Hatch Chile Stew....OMG!!

    As with so many others here, I get a lot of ideas and inspiration from stuff that people post. Once in a while though I seem something and I think "I just gotta make that", which is what happened when I saw the post from our good friend @BrianGSDTexoma showcasing his Hatch Chile Stew. Man that...

    Italian Pork In A Roasted Garlic And 3-Cheese Cream Sauce (Few Pics)

    Still too hot to be cooking outside so threw this together a couple days ago after going through my second bout of heatstroke in the past three weeks. Man, that will make a person absolutely miserable. I really need to get my brain (what's left of it) wrapped around the concept that I'm no...
