Lost In Xanadu Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Well, summer's almost over and thought I'd take a minute to remind you to grab onto that BBQ while you can. I'm talking BBQ - not just stuff thrown on the grill. Stuff that has been slow cooked in a smoker for hours: Ribs Pulled Pork Beef Brisket BBQ Chicken A new place opened near work and we hit it today... amazing brisket. Just amazing. So tender, perfect amount of smoke and char on the outside. This past weekend, I threw a pork shoulder on the smoker for 12 hours. I have an electric water smoker, and I put apple juice, apple cider vinegar and water in the water basin. Went to coach football and the sugars in the apple juice burned to high heaven when the basin went dry. Totally ruined the pork shoulder... lucky it was only $10 for the shoulder. Never one to claim defeat, I threw 3 racks of ribs on the smoker the next day and watched the liquid level very carefully, mopping the ribs every 2 hours and topping off the basin. Man did the ribs turn out good. Here's to some good, down home BBQ!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for livening up the thread Mara I have to have cornbread with BBQ. I do not like baked beans at all. When I make it at home... always have cornbread and grilled corn. I'm not a huge fan of baked beans, normally. But I have a co-worker who makes wicked good ones. (The generous addition of bacon is key). I'd rather just have a nice hot roll or a biscuit. Or just 86 the bread entirely, even (leaves room for extra helpings of meat). But I really freaking hate cornbread, always have. And the mere thought of sweet potato pie (or sweet potato anything, really) turns my stomach. Edited September 16, 2011 by Mara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell yeah!! We had chili last night and I always make it medium spicy. I have some Dave's Insanity Ghost Pepper Sauce that I add to it. Usually about a half tsp - a full tsp does a bowl good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree there. I don't like pumpkin pie either Me either. It's funny, no one in my family really likes pumpkin pie much at all, but it's one of those Thanksgiving staples. So every Thanksgiving, there sits that damn pumpkin pie on the sideboard, completely ignored. One year I was a guest in someone's home. After dinner everyone was served a slice of pumpkin pie automatically. Oh shit. I mean, I not only don't like pumpkin pie, I almost can't eat it without gagging. It's just got a weird mouthfeel to it. I hope no one thought I was rude for taking such a massive helping of whipped cream, but it was the only way I could choke down enough pie to be polite.

I don't like the sound of pumpkins... It's more cakelike than it is bread. Sometimes it's sweet, and sometimes it has more of a real corn taste to it. I can eat it if it has cheese baked in to it.
