Hope you grabbed some Charmin

@DMW - that is a great looking mid-night snack.  And somewhere in there is some cheekin.  All good for sure.

DMW

@DoubleEgger - nah, my system can handle quite a bit.  
@lousubcap - it really hit the spot, needed something to absorb my egg tending beverages.

Just added a slab of shorties alongside a butt.

Sounds like some good eats are in the works this weekend

Greensboro NC, temps are going to be sunny in the mid 60's.. So I am planning all my cooks... Saturday: Prime rib roast, sides to be determined.. Sunday: Baby back pork ribs, Kielbasa's wrapped in bacon, Thick cut slices of belly pork rashers, maybe some slaw and a salad.. The only down time for my Egg will be for adding lump.. Everyone have a fantastic weekend..

Thinking I'll run to the processor and grab some steaks for tonight. If I'm lucky they'll have some beef ribs that will be consumed Sunday. Maybe oysters for Saturday if I can find em. 

Thanks for the feeling of not have my **** together.  I hadn't thought about what to cook at all yet.  

F it... 

I'm going to John Mitchell's house.  I'll bring the maters.

Well this all went pear shaped in a hurry... With one call from the missus I was informed that she HAD told me we had plans for both Sat and Sun.. I might have to pull out the man card on this one.. By the way Matt you are always welcome...

Lads just an update.. I managed to pull this one off.. The wife corralled a posse of her girl friends to go out with, which freed me up to cook and day drink.. I have the baby backs on and just put the Kielbasa's wrapped in bacon on.. I am trying my new  Meat Church "Honey Hog BBQ" Rub.. Have a great evening..

@johnmitchell - "Better to be lucky than good any day" comes to mind.  Doesn't matter how you got there-looks like a great cook with eats to follow.  Enjoy and cook something for the posse down the road.

Chopping bell peppers and onions for Fajitas!!! No flat irons, so I'm relegated to the skirt steak. I think we'll manage, what say you?? Oh, time to light the egg.

I prefer skirts over all other cuts for fajitas. Plus, they are the traditional cut used, anyway.

I hope they are as good as the flat irons. I know they are traditional, as is cutting them up and cooking them. I leave the proteins whole and cook them separate from the veg. F tradition. They look pretty good though. Might be even better. We'll see.

Well, it's steak tonight, but I've spent the day at the ER with my dad. Low sodium is no joke. He's back at home resting with restricted liquid intake of 1L/day. Crappie way to spend a Sat, but thankful it wasn't a stroke.

Good luck. It's no fun dealing with the issues of old age. I guess we should be thankful as you said. Enjoy the rest of your evening.

God bless.. Hope your Dad bounces back..Thinking of you and your family. Yes thankfully not a stroke..

@theyolksonyou - no doc here but good that you are out of the medical community influence.  Given the quick turnaround (an eternity in your eyes) it sounds like your dad is on the big plus side.  Celebrate that fact.

Glad your dad is ok @theyolksonyou !

Those steaks look great.

tarheelmatt

Glad your dad is okay, Jason. 

@johnmitchell, that spread looks great.

Spent the day installing Christmas gifts... indoor stereo receiver with new hdmi cables and speaker connectors. A receiver for the Lanai with a couple new outdoor speakers and new Klipsch bass speaker. Set-up new key fobs for my truck and keyfinder linked to app. 
And just got home from grocery shopping for throwdown goodies. Enjoying an ice cold I-10 IPA now. Busy productive day. 
@theyolksonyou I'm glad your Pop will be okay Jason.

@theyolksonyou ... good news that your dad is okay.

Sounds like a good day to me Blake.  Enjoy the tunes and setup.  Can't wait to see what you enter in the throwdown!

Hotdogs @YEMTrey  
The Klipsch clarity and crossover with gain is spot on but, I'm getting some miniscule interference due to the close proximity of receiver to speaker so my wife ordered a new 15' speaker cable. Hopefully that does the trick. I had a Velodyne Servo bass speaker that bit the dust after 21 yrs of usage.

Dang B-Lak-E... I'm wore out reading what you've done.  

DMW

Guests have gone, the rest of the household has turned in for the night. Here's the short ribs and butt from tonight.

Sad it took almost 2 months till I did it. It's always easier to put it on the back burner. 

Ozzie_Isaac

Thinking about my next cook.  I'm in a bit of a rut.  Really want to step up my game.

I really struggle with sides.  Need to make a cohesive meal.

I feel you there. I feel like i routinely crush the protein, but am left wanting by lackluster sides.  

nolaegghead

Learn how to make bread.  Actually, learn how to make, work on it continuously, a dozen sides.  Stick to them, refine them, and you'll be a food flarkin' god, given you got the protein nailed.

For the beer brewing nerds...I helped make 55 gal of IPA.   Took home 10.
