Outside the dugout: What's cooking?

Spot on with your numbers all across the board in my book Lurk! It’s going to turn out great!

And yes, catching up is in order for the cook...

 

Lurk,

Aren’t you pleased with how your KJ holds it’s temps?

 

Simple Saturday today—

Got all of the yard mowed and about half the weed-eating done—

So tonight it’ll be grilled chicken wings and a cold tray—I cut the flapper off the wings and then separate the two pieces I grill. Put them in cold water and some ice for about 2 hours prior to grill time—the fresh cut ends gorge themselves with water and it gives a plumper wing coming off the grill. Yep, seasoning is coarse black pepper and Everglades seasoning.

The col’beers were ready in the back porch Yeti before I was off the mower—and I decided not to disappoint them—

 

You guys are way precise. I usually get a 3-5 lb boneless Boston butt, cover it with tomato-based sauce and tent it for 6-8 hours at 300, then open it and cover with whatever is PC version of Bessinger’s mustard sauce and let it go another hour

 

LOL—

BA, you just gotta get familiar with the rules.....

The cook has to have a col’beer in his hand during ALL cooking activities....

 

Eating a leftover burger from night before last. Simple....yet effective!

 

LOL—
That reminds me of back when I was on midnight shift with FHP—get off @ 7am (my 5pm) and I would be sitting on the back porch drinking a col’beer and reading the paper—maybe that’s why the neighbors going to work looked at me funny...

 

From what I have heard there were other reasons that we shouldn't discuss here. This is a family friendly forum.

 

Actually Dave you can learn/condition yourself to deal with that aspect of it. What was the hardest part of the job for me was notifying next of kin—no words...

You’re either telling parents or you’re telling kids/young adults—hands down, hardest part of the job for me.....

 

+1 - much respect to you 74....not an easy job to do.

 

I’m sure—hardest one I ever had—was notifying a Grandma, 6 year old, and a 4 year old that Mama and Daddy were gone and not coming home.....

Toughest scene I ever had was in Hamilton County (rural)—single vehicle rollover, I was first on scene, and it occurred half a mile from the victim’s home—family was on the scene with me before Fire/Rescue was.....

 

I know, again, apologies for thread theft.....

 

Absolutely no need to apologize - not only is it the off season, your culinary posts in this thread are the stuff of legend!

Back to your work with the FHP, I think it's safe to say we've all driven by accident scenes and witnessed the dedication from your troopers and their staff. Your comments here bring an additional perspective that is also very much appreciated. Undoubtedly, you are not appreciated nor thanked enough for all you have done. So again - thank you.

 

Not much of a beer drinker—try to watch carbs—more likely to have wine or g&t

 

BA—

That works too!!!
