Yup, I grind the rosemary up in my rub (brown sugar base with chipotle pepper, garlic powder, onion powder). I tried sage and such, but rosemary seemed to work best.

If I can, I do not mix the veggies and dressing until just before serving. You’re absolutely right - it turns into a soggy disaster. No one likes soggy disaster.

Been there, melted that.

Even if you don’t want to spring for the full-fat Thermapen, their ThermoPop is fantastic. I have had mine over a year, and love that I can rotate the display, it’s fast, it’s accurate, cleans easily.

I just need to bite the bullet and do something like this, especially when I make my pork rub. Hand grinding rosemary in a mortar isn’t the worst, but when I got to making my sauce, I have to grind down my red pepper flakes or they’ll clog my squeeze bottles constantly.

Oh, pork shoulder, how I love thee.
I’m due to smoke a couple more for freezer duty. Tacos, sandwiches, nachos, eggs, so handy.

My Slovenian grandmother gave us cold pickles when my brother and I were teething. Cold olives also were mixed in from time to time.

We were given a second stroller from our friends after their kids had grown out of it. We then kept the one that fit our kids car seat in the car, and kept the other in the garage for daily walks. That way one stroller was always set and ready to go at home, the other was always in the car and never forgotten.

Do you have an actual, secret family recipe?

Yes and no. My brother and I love my grandmothers pork country ribs, which are made in the oven and the juices form our favorite gravy for mashed potatoes. They’re not attempting to be anything like something off a smoker, but they’re just damned good. She knows for our…

Holy shit, I’m making a batch this week now.

I miss my 240's (both wagons). One started to fall apart from rust and neglect (despite my attempts to save it), and the other had to be sold due to a baby on the way. Someone drives a fantastic shape blue 240 wagon to church every Sunday, and I see it parked across the street from me like clockwork every Sunday…

Same goes if you find yourself in Wisconsin.
Now if I can convince my boss to send me to our plant near London...

I’ve had the joy of trying to replace the alternator on my old 240 on the street during a snow storm, then to have the wires fall apart and lose some of the hardware in the snow pile underneath, never to be seen again. I have an idea of your pain.

Incorrect. It requires folding space and time to form a wormhole where you can access the heater core. Scientists are still working on a way to replace the heater control valve without summoning Cthulu.

The heater in a Volvo 240 can heat a moderate size home.

There is a bit of a craze with making very sweet stouts right now, or pastry stouts. We had one release here that was so sweet, a 12oz bottle made my jaw hurt before I finished the glass. So, I substituted the liquid in my waffle batter for the sweet stout, and we had a chicken and waffles party and bottle share.…

Looks like I cannot edit the parent post to correct it, but thank you for pointing it out.
