I feel like you’re trying to imply something with this.  Not that there’s anything wrong with that...

nolaegghead

Indeed, John.  Nothing wrong with it at all.  People should have the right to be into whomever they want.

I believe Henrik can be at BB this year if you'd like to do the comparison in person @littlerascal56 . LOL.

Half my family lives in IA, and they agree (although I envy their ability to input, by the time anything reaches utard any competition is already decided...)

How'd you do the wings?  Any new rubs or sauces?

I bought them whole and split them up into drums and planks. Left them in the fridge over night to dry out a bit. The rub I used was a blend of others I have collected through the years. I hand rubbed each piece of the chicken wings, sparingly, making sure the rub was smeared into it. After that, I followed with a light coat of Tony Z's.

I think the hand rubbing the wing parts is absolutely key with any seasoning you choose.

Placed them elevated up in the dome, indirect about 6" above the felt line, at 375⁰F. Cooked them one hour, turning every 15 minutes used a couple of small chunks of peach for some smokey flavor.

Those that came off the grill were all 180⁰F IT or above.....about 12-14 were consumed by the children prior to getting them inside.

Once inside, I placed them wrapped in aluminum foil and sat them in a crock with a lid (not a slow cooker) to let them rest for about 10-15 minutes, which turned out to be an exercise in futility. They did not make it to 10 minutes. I had 2 out of 30.

There is a place here in town that is known for their smoked chicken wings. Claiming to be the best around.....you know the drill. It is called Mama's Mustard, Pickles and BBQ is the place, and I recommend you try it if you get to town, I think it is the best around. Get there early if you want burnt ends. They are gone by 6:30pm.

The local experts on wings around here in Louisville said these "absolutely smoked theirs".....I dunno. I like wings and I love making them....but this is my recipe I will follow for now on.

When I tried them, I told My Beautiful Wife, these were the best I have ever made. Our children slammed them.

Maybe folks are already doing this, I am sure,

Grilled up the Costco Ribeye Caps this evening.  Thanks for the advice @DoubleEgger .

Helping out new friends that had a must attend event.   My dear wife is in short a kid magnet!  I did what I could and made sketty for dinner.  

littlerascal56

Those are some happy kids.  Every time we keep the grandkids overnight, they ask for “sketty”. And eat a lot of it!  Grandkids are so fun...get to spoil them, and then send home to their parents😂

40 avocados processed.  8 lbs of meat.  4 for a dollar.  They freeze well but you don't want to add the tomatoes, salt, etc until you are ready to eat or you will get free liquid.  I did add fresh lime juice as an antioxidant.  You can also use sour salt.

Iowa should have to go to the back of the line next election.  I think the Dem party there would screw up picking their nose.

Agree 100% with you. They have a mess right now just counting votes.  Hope they figure it out by Tuesday.

Thought for a minute you had seen the light and made bulk mushy peas.

2016 was another fiasco there as well.

I’m sure I wasn’t paying as close of attention to Iowa last cycle, I’ve never watched other states or early states too closely. I get tired of seeing all of the buttons and straw hats and the never ending pundit parade on tv talking about the importance of wherever.

Break the process.  Maybe giving apps to a population that has their Motorola Star-Tacs clipped to their belts isn’t the way to drive change.

If Lizzo does next years Super Bowl halftime show, it will be a serious downgrade.

Would adding "fruit fresh" work as well as the lime juice? Just thinking out loud... I'm guessing it would. My wife always has some of that around.
Just did my own Googling - it should work as well. I'll have to try this. We throw out too much avocado.

Fruit Fresh is citric acid, same as what works in lime juice, plus ascorbic acid (vitamin C).  Sour salt that is sold in the spice section of grocery stores is citric acid.  Little bit of sour salt goes a long way.  I suspect the Fruit Fresh is cut with dextrose so people don't add too much acid.

That's exactly what they do. The first ingredient is dextrose.
