The characters from La Brava would translate to Tarantino’s world beautifully. That crazy early 80's South Florida scene would be something to behold on screen.

So you were in Monroe yesterday?

When I was in 1st grade I was running around my classroom at full speed, my teacher who was stapling things to the bulletin board with the stapler in the open position turned around to tell me to slow down. I ran forehead first into the open stapler and it stapled my forehead. It hurt.

Start with a chuck roast, cheaper and smaller so if you mess it up you won’t feel too bad. 

Mesquite is acrid and terrible. Apple, cherry and other orchard woods for pork or chicken. Oak and/or pecan for beef. As this is a BBQ comment, these can only be taken as hard fact and anyone who disagrees is most definitely a commie.

Now I want a cheesburger.

You can also simply ask, “Do you still need me for anything?”

When your sinuses are bleeding it will leak down your throat as well as out your nose.

Nope, it’s now a superhero franchise.

My brother and some friends competed in a local BBQ competition at which the teams provided samples to the crowd. The categories were spareribs, pulled pork and salmon (we’re in the NW). My parents stopped by around turn-in time and brought my grandpa along with them. Grandpa wandered off and came back about…

Drizzle with Oil or clarified butter and roast whole in the oven at around 425 until it starts to brown and crispen. Works well with all hericiu mushrooms, Lion’s Mane, Bears Tooth Head, Cauliflower mushroom etc.

Agreed, avoid the loaf pan and meatloaf takes on a whole new life. It is also a vastly underrated breakfast meat. Fry a slice in a cast iron pan and top with a fried egg and a potato pancake made from the accompanying leftover mashed potatoes.

Learn to make a basic pickling brine and the world is your salty, tart delicious oyster.

Add a little celery seed to that mix.

“My fiance had conjoined twins as patients”

I think of myself as a BBQ and grilling purist, but there is no argument here. If all you’re cooking up is a couple of chicken breasts and a few hot dogs, there is no point in firing up a charcoal grill when you can be done cooking entirely in the amount of time it takes for the charcoal to be ready.

I will disagree. A blend dirty dalmation blend of kosher salt, coarse pepper and small parts cumin and cayenne is badass on beef, be it burgers, steaks or roasts.

I am in firm agreement on this topic. Cumin is key to a proper BBQ rub, chili recipe, anything taco related and don’t forget the hummus.

Cuisinart and calphalon both make good stainless that won’t break the bank.

Our cat was also a tub licker.
