With company in town this week, we’ve been eating quite a bit. flowers22 has promised a pie a day. Thankfully, we have slowed on that after a pineapple cream, lemon meringue, banana cream, blueberry, Bailey’s Irish Cream Chocolate Chip cheesecake, and strawberry rhubarb pie.
On my end we have been smoking up a storm. Today was no different. We had some spare ribs, a Bacon Explosion fatty, and ABTs (Atomic Buffalo Turds).
We’re full.
Belch!
That doesn’t include the pulled pork that smoked for 15+ hours . . . mmmmmeat!
Treat yourself to this fabulous sausage. Head over to Joe’s Butcher Shop on Landis Avenue in Norma. On the weekends, GK Que sets up shop in the parking lot. I picked up some of this sausage for lunch today fresh from their Klose smoker.
Life is good eating this stuff . . .
I read this in an article about low attendance at the Cumberland County Fair
First-time fair vendor Dean Margarites of Monmouth County said he likely will skip setting up his Greek-A-Licious stand here next year because of poor sales.
“If I have something else going on, I’ll probably stick to something closer,” Margarites said.
As far as I am concerned that will improve the fair. Greek-a-Licious served me the absolute worst gyro I have ever eaten . . . Several years ago I noticed that BlogNetNews.com had picked up eCache in its feeds. It’s an interesting site, although it never generated much traffic here. A couple years ago the url for eCache changed. I contacted them to update it several times. They never did and I stopped trying. Just now in one of my feeds, I stumbled across this site again. I too a quick look. Not only have they not updated my feed, they have me classified as liberal. Bahaaaawwww . . . “Terrell Owens says he’s concerned teams are swayed by the perception that he’s a troublemaker and that’s why none have signed the free-agent receiver.” You think? I will be sorry to see Terrell retire. Since we have the same surname, my students always feel a kindred spirit. I use T.O. as an example throughout the year whenever my students fall into “me first” mode. We pound our chests just like the clueless one. Who will I use when he is no longer relevant? . . . Newspapers employing paywalls is poor business, imo, but Lancaster Online has taken the cake. Their new model uses a paywall only for obituaries. After reading seven obits, one will have to pay for the eighth. Yeah, that will work . . . Scoble is a media whore. He’s been pimping his “secret” all week. We’re all impressed . . . The other evening the handle fell off my Weber Performer. The grill i eight years old. The handle had rusted. I e-mailed the company, forwarded photographs, etc. In the mail right now to me is a replacement lid and thermometer free of charge. Weber has outstanding customer service . . .
The second of the three “Barbecue Days” (Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day) was celebrated with the traditional smoked ribs. Five hours in a smoker does spare ribs well (over hickory and apple). I diced the trimmings and added them to my beans. They smoked beneath the ribs catching the drippings throughout. Awesome!
In addition, I had marinated some Roadside Chicken last evening. Usually we have this with thighs, but i opted for legs this go-around. Also tossed on some brats. Yummm . . . brats!
The meal was rounded out with sweet potatoes, asparagus, peppers, and onions. Good stuff! We also had some sweet corn from Ingraldi’s. It was fabulous. The corn is wonderful this year. Gert made the flag cake above. Tasty.
We had the water slide up on this hot day. Gert’s brother came over and we played Wii when the heat took its toll.
This is what summer vacation is all about. Life is good.
Hey Michelle, would love to be able to comment directly on your blog. Have been looking to do so for years, but I never see registration open. Anyhow, your Filipino-style BBQ chicken and pork looks good. If you want a great recipe to use sriracha on, try this.
