OT - What are you doing right now?

Dinner tonight Cowboy Pork Chops. Mine on the left with Maple Reserve Rub only, SWMBO's on the right with salt, pepper, and Maurice's Southern Gold Original sauce.

On the Minimax with two chunks of orange wood over Rockwood Charcoal at 350 degrees.

Plated with French style green beans.

SWMBO liked, they were tender and very tasty. Will get these again.

Got a chance to use the CI skillets tonight. Made some chicken lollipops with a improvised sauce of ranch dressing, texas pete, homemade fermented carolina reaper hot sauce, paprika, parmesan/asiago cheese, etc. Sort of a flaming parmesan wing sauce. Good stuff. Then made some pimento and blue cheese fries. Had some store bought crinkled cut fries in the freezer, so those got fried up. :)

@Dyal_SC Glad you surfaced.  Those lollipops are too labor intensive for me but I would crush those.  The sauce sounds quite appealing as well.  Reapers  for the true heat.  Great cook.

Loro - simply amazing:

That looks like quite a banquet right there.  ^^^^^^

Loro- only time I've eaten brisket with chop sticks. Livin the High Life for sure.

Had some neighbors and their kids over for pizza night last night. Divided 1000g into 10 smaller pizzas. Had sausage, bacon, a charcuterie pack, buffalo chicken, shredded and check mozzarella, sautéed onion, and multiple different sauces. Was glad to fire up the blackstone it had been awhile since I used it. Ended up putting out 8 pizzas.

Thanks. Ripped and replaced the whole kitchen when we bought it.

Almost pulled a Fishlessman on the way home. I almost rolled the truck. I was going 70-75 mph in the left lane when all of a sudden the traffic comes to a haulting stop. Not wanting to rear end the Expedition in front of me I quickly switched lanes. I had to make a quick move and turned the steering wheel harder than I wanted to but I had no choice as I was going to clip the Expedition right rear going 60+. I started to fishtail and than the rear end stated to go out from under me the other way and could feel the truck start to get light. Fortunately I didn't over compensate in that few seconds and was fortunate I had enough room to get everything back in control. All of this in front of a semi. 

A mile down the road I see a lady driving her Toyota Corolla in the middle lane going 25 mph in a 65 mph highway. Cars flying around her. Who in the hell gave this lady her license? What an idiot. 

Counting my lucky stars tonight.

I'm so glad I paid a small fortune for my current brake pads.

This guy got a bit of a fishtail on today, a couple of hundred yards in front of us. Went to pass the tipper truck you can see and started weaving, finally losing it and putting his caravan on its side. You can also see the mini excavator in front of the caravan. We were getting people together to tip the van back on its wheels to get it off the (major) road when the excavator man turned up, having seen the incident from the other carriageway. He offloaded and pulled it upright, the whole blockage was gone in 10 minutes. I have a video of him righting the van, but no idea how to post that. Cool of him to turn around and clear the road.

I can see the problem. Everyone was driving on the wrong side of the road!

Thanks. That few seconds after you get everything in control can weigh on you. That could have gone really really bad. I'd be lying if I told you I didn't want to see a dash cam of what happened. 

I'd love to sit down and have a nice little chat with the lady who was going 25 mph in a 65. I agree with @bgebrent She deserves to take a little break from driving for a little while.

Thinking about getting a "Big Green Egg".. linked article from USAToday... mentions a forum for "Eggheads".  Sounds like an emotional support group.

@nolaegghead The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.  Above all, I can see where you get your empathy and compassion.  Awesome article.  You are justifiably proud , as it should be. 

Thank you for reminding us of how we can do more and set aside our biases.

Carey, that’s very cool.  I think I’d like that tour even though I can see!

The SUV behind me would have been in the box on my bed if I would have tried locking the brakes up. The SUV was less than a half a vehicle off my @$$. I was losing visuals of his headlights behind my tailgate. (I had vehicles in front of me so I couldn't go any faster) The SUV had a nice little surprise I'm thinking when I darted in the other lane last second to miss the Expedition in front of me.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Cheers!
