    Tent folded

    Well, the biz took a nose dive so I'm not even going to try to keep it up and running. I just turned 64 and winter is at the door step. It's not the lack of awesome foods, it's the fact that there aren't any gatherings because of fear. 2021 offers promise as I hope to have my life partner here...

    Szechuan Brisket

    I had some held over brisket so while I was cold smoking some sharp cheddar and a tilapia filet, I made this szechuan style crispy orange beef for tomorrow to go with white rice. I'm a simple man with simple pleasures.

    Local Meat Locker

    I've purchased these in bulk before but it requires that I place the order and prepay which isn't an issue for a catering job. I stop in and on occasion I'll find a couple of packages of the chicken, apple and cranberry sausages and they are the best thing locally. Four sausages about $7 so I...

    Community Service Smoke

    A local church does an annual fund raiser BBQ and had no one to help with the capacity needed so eventually I agreed to assist. Smoked for two days last weekend. Friday and Saturday, no work on Sunday.

    John Henry's Cherry Chipotle rub

    John Henry's of East Texas rub. Lordy lordy. I used it on chicken breasts and smokes over cherry wood just now. Two words. Sweet Heat. Cherry is sweet and the chipotle has just enough initial and residual heat. Can't wait to do wings and thighs and chicken pops with it.

    NC Pig Pickin Cake

    Hand me down recipe from a gal at work when I lived in Raleigh. She was North of 60 at the time. I've added the strawberries and I've used maraschino cherries a few times too. Blot the cherries though. I made this today. It's chilling now. I'll post the hand written recipe.
