In many conversations with students, the topic of “What are your plans for this weekend” comes up more often than you would think. I hate to bore anyone, but usually the plans are rather basic. They usually involve some form of house projects, cooking, football, etc… Which of course the follow up questions are, what project are you working on, .. what are you cooking, etc…watching,

Short answer, the projects are “manly projects” (lol) and the cooking is some form of meat, smoked, aged, grilled, etc… Which the short answer usually isn’t sufficient for some, and recipes are asked for, … seriously. Therefore, this is a section dedicated to me making and doing things.

Luckily July 4th is upcoming and the first entry will be, how to properly prepare, smoke, and eat ribs…. You would think the act of eating would be something that people would not need advise on. I thought that as well until I saw a friend using a knife and fork, . wtf?!$ If it doesn’t get all over the place, it doesn’t belong in your face…. at least for ribs.
