Ozzie_Isaac

Any cooks going on in celebration of a true American hero this weekend?

Arizona held out for a few years on recognizing that holiday.

Cool article.  Arizona did hold out, but not as long as New Hampshire did.

Reviewing historical events from a modern perspective is interesting.  It is amazing how morals and acceptable behavior changes over time.

@nolaegghead your presence so early in this thread skeered folks from sharing their MLK cooks.

I'm sorry.  I'm really not a skeery person.  I'm loaded full to the brim with love and empathy.

Can't wait to hear the calls for Repeal and Replace.
(Wouldn't put it past 'em, frankly.)

The new holiday would be Robert E Lee and Vladimer Lenin day, perhaps?

Nope, just the almighty "dollar" day.

Nope, just the almighty "ruble" day.

No doubt that General Lee would get the nod from many.  
Not sure, though, that The Donnie has enough Ruskiphiles about.

Besides, The Donnie would most likely forward his own birthday for national reverence.  
There are about 63 million American voters gullible enough to go along with that idea.

I'm really stretching it here, no doubt about that.  Working off the "enemy of mine enemy is my friend" theory, and the premise that many of the authoritarian suckling sheep think most Georgians live around Atlanta.

But you have a good point.

I'm pulling an all-nighter with my son (taking shifts) feeding the sitckburner as we try to cook a brisket.  And we'll probably cook something else on MLK day proper.

Happy MLK day to everyone.

 No cooking for me on MLK Day. I will be in Hartford for the final day of a three day volleyball tournament. But in the vacinity of the Expo Center is Bear's BBQ. It has the reputation of being best in the state. I may get to test that depending on game schedules.

@CtTOPGUN -  that sounds like window of opportunity not to be missed.  As @YukonRon would say, be prepared for wallet genocide.  
Good luck in the tourney.
