Great collection. Excellent stuff.

Beautiful shot. Mr. Parks was very good.

Non-Protip: When using a chimney charcoal starter in your bare feet, WATCH WHERE YOU STEP. Seriously, that shit hurts. A little white hot piece fell out of the bottom and I ground it into the ball of my foot.

*Correction* Sorry, man, that should be one cup of preserves. Two cups would be a shitload. I am making a glaze right now for wings with some peach preserves I had laying around and could tell my proportions were wrong when I started throwing things in the pot. Cooking a bunch of food for the game tomorrow so I…

I used to live across the street from George's but it's not what it used to be from what I hear. Haven't been over there in a while.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,...you might be on to something here. A World Champion chili cook who solves crimes on the side? Columburneko?

I sometimes get into a rut where I'm living on nothing but sandwiches, bagged salad, and cereal. What I started doing was cooking a big pot of something once a week in my Dutch oven and freezing most of it. After four or five weeks you have a nice variety of things to choose from.

I cook for people almost every Saturday during football season. I try not to troll for compliments but it is good for the cooking ego when someone tells you that something you made is good enough to be served in a restaurant. I've said it before but I think being a good cook comes down to experience and confidence. …

I wonder who may have pointed this out on Saturday?

I use blackberry preserves out of a jar. It's been a while but it's something like: 2 cups blackberry preserves, 1/2 cup Asian chili sauce (or more), 1/2 cup whiskey, 1/2 cup cider vinegar. And sometimes I'll add a little Creole mustard and a shot of worcestershire for tang. Put all of that in a saucepan and simmer…

I do a Blackberry/Bourbon glaze with blackberry preserves, Evan Williams, sweet/hot Asian chili sauce, and cider vinegar. I also do a spicy Apricot/Rum glaze the same way that is good on chicken wings.

It's "Gone away" but I thought they were saying "Run away".

Went to make iced coffee this morning and very nearly grabbed chipotle cubes out of the freezer instead of coffee cubes. That would have been an eye-opener.

Good Eats - Send in the Clams

Reminds me of the King of the Hill when Hank goes out of town and Peggy and Bobby start cooking with charcoal.

Wow. Those things are pretty cool. My stomach started growling when I was looking at some of those dishes.

I just watched the Good Eats episode on mussels and he uses the pliers on there. Kismet.

Interesting. Something else I've never done. I have charbroiled oysters on the grill and those are excellent and pretty easy if you can get them open without stabbing yourself in the hand.

Windy as hell. Wouldn't want to be out in that. Nice redfish though.
