Outdoor Cooking..

I love to cook outdoors.
I said, I LOVE to cook outdoors.
I fire up my grill about 3 to 4 times a week. It might be my gas grill, or my Weber charcoal grill, my Brinkmann gourmet smoker (E.C.B.),my deep fryer, or even my tiny little A-MAZE-N smoker. And after someone tasted my pulled pork and placed an order for twenty (20!!!!) pork butts, I might go ahead and order the Weber Smokey Mountain 22.5 inch smoker.Still wont be big enough, but it would add to my outdoor kitchen! Nothing like cooking outdoors...Give me some raw meat, (suck it vegetarians), a beer, and some free time, I am making smoke! Nothing like sitting up for 18 hours or more in the middle of the night with Hickory and Apple smoke in the wind while you smoke 10 to 12 Lbs. of pork.

Tonight is a happy night. The boy and the girl will be going to bed early because the first day of school is in the A.M.! Oh happy days................ It will suck a bit, home work every night, earlier dinners, baths, packing school lunches, etc.. But The WIFE and I will have our Thursdays alone, the kids will be forced to go to bed at an earlier time, ((again), alone time for me and the wife!),
and less BABY SITTER time.. And trust me, that's a good thing.

Anyway, the kids are going to bed now, time for me to say goodnight to them and you.
Happy grilling, till next time!

Beer and Mead

Trying to get back into the home brewing hobby.. I have managed to brew two batches up, and they are ready to keg.
I spent most of the day a while back to clean a few kegs, beer lines, chest cooler, etc. I kegged up a Mead, and hooked up an old keg of barley wine. But my chest cooler isn't working 100% right now. Only cooling to about 48 degrees. Like most things around here, it needs work.

Grew some great veggies this year. More tomatoes then we need. Lots of different hot peppers, corn, onions, etc. Can't wait till next year, I plan to add more garden space. It was all just a test to see if I could grow stuff, and I think I passed.

ALAIN, send me an email again. I haven't been on top of my e-mail, or website much, and I can't seem to find your address. Wife said she is ready to fly to France! Hope you have room for us all!!
