John's Graduation Bar-B-Que

You just have to have some tasty Veg! There was Hummus to dip...

Fruit trays are Tasty!

Cheese and crackers are a must.

A lot of Chicken Wings.

Marinating the Beef.

Grill Master Jim hard at work.

Love to see that smoke.

Sushi tray! Yummo!
The Spicy Tuna is to die for.

Grilled Vegi kabobs for those inclined.

And somehow the Cake and Ice Cream got missed.

Leftovers

When your brother comes over, and there's nothing to eat,
You just have to make do...

Pull apart some of the boneless pork ribs that are in the fridge,
Top with some of the coleslaw that's just laying around,
And you've got yourself a pretty decent lunch.

Old School

Everything Comes From Something.

Original Crepes

I've made crepes for a long time.

and Matt's BBQ'd for a long time.

Valentines Day Dinner!

My man made me dinner and it was yummy. Yay steak!

Miranda's Pizza Recipe

Matt, Miranda sent me this recipe last week when she couldn't find the recipe for BBQ'd Peaches.
I think this is what she's trying to say... ;)

Mix up some dough per her instructions.
(Thank God for mixers)

Let the dough rise... etc.

Once your dough is ready, slap it. Fling it.
Show that dough who's boss!

Pizza is, of course, usually cooked in the oven. However, with a setup like this, why not cook it on the grill?

Just brush the crust with olive oil before throwing it on the grill, then flip, brush again, and top the pizza.

The variety of toppings is endless.

Topping off our lunches.

A closer look.

BBQ Sauce, Pepperoni, Sausage, Jalapeno, Onion, Cilantro...
You get the idea.

Pizza Sauce, Pepperoni, Sausage, Onion, Black Olive, and Mushrooms.

BBQ Sauce, Genoa, Roasted Garlic, Fresh Basil, Cilantro, Fresh Tomato and Parmesan Cheese.
Delightful!

Beer Can Chickenz

In honor of the Solstice, I roasted up a couple beer can chickens.

I keep thinking they're talking to each another.

Y'know, something like this...

On a Sunday in the snow when there's nothing much to do...

Actually, I'm glad today is the solstice. It all gets better from here. Although I don't mind the cold. It's a pain, yeah. But it'll help kill off the bugs... and it'll help next year's seeds germinate... y'know, that kind of thing. There's a bigger picture going on. And I don't mind. It makes the rest of my life tolerable.

Bring on the chicken!

A Pork Roast and Smoked Salmon (by Association)

So I thought I'd smoke up a pork roast... and since there was space on the grill I thought, "Hey, I should throw some salmon on, I mean... A guy's gotta eat."

Thankfully, I have plenty of salmon courtesy of Canada this last August.

Salmon, after I introduced it to the BBQ.

The Pork Roast, Resting.

I Thank God for Meat
(and smoke rings!)

Smoked Pork Ribs

The Richland Facility is up and running!

Smoked Meat & Steamed Veggies

Feels like Winter's Coming on Strong.

Not everybody's favorite, but I don't mind.

Bachelor Party BBQ

Well, Chris and I cooked for a little party. We ended up smoking 5 racks of ribs, about 30+ lbs of meat. About twelve guys showed up. What followed can only be described as lots of great eating, great drinking, and laying around in the yard.

Beer

Smokin' Away

Beer Baste

Beautiful

V-8 can Rootbeer Game Hens

Prepped Gazpacho fixins...

Getting my grind on...

Cucumber and onion salad with red pepper.

Oiled up, rubbed and ready to go.

Tasty, Tasty goodness!
