Tuesday, June 19, 2012Good morning crew,
One of the things I'm looking forward to as an actual home owner is having my own yard I can do stuff in. And by 'stuff' I mean burn things.
I have this idea of building a large brick 'smoker' which I can use as both a fireplace and a barbecue grill, and, of course, as a smoker as the situation warrants.
On the Travel Channel they frequently show programs about food; famous restaurants around the country, etc, and whenever they feature barbecue or a barbecue restaurant the central feature is always a large, wood-burning smoker in which all of the succulent, delicious meat is prepared.
I have this vision of myself slow smoking an entire piglet, having a huge party to eat it all and wrapping up the day by building a friendly fire people can gather around while sipping beers and congratulating me on what a genius I am at barbecuing.
What will probably happen is I will end up with a $50 Webber grill which I will use once a month and never clean and will end up housing a family of squirrels.
Laugh it up,
Joe

***While on a ski trip in Wyoming, I encountered a husband and wife on the slopes who asked me if I would take a picture of them. I said I would be happy to, and I did. Then I asked if they wouldn't mind taking a picture of me.
"Oh, sorry," the man answered, "but we only have two pictures left, and we wanted to take some pictures of the lodge."

"Is it hard to learn?" someone asked.
"Not at all," my co-worker replied. "Basically you're asked to breathe life into a dummy. I don't expect to have any problem. I did that for 12 years."
