Shh!! don't let the secret out.. they are already very hard to find in the store!

Just burgers and dogs for me. Does it get more American that griliing or bbq and kids playing outside in the water?

I cooked up a Bertolli frozen pasta thing to take with me into the hospital for work tonight.

I sure hope everyone stays safe and I have an uneventful night.

Well I was 3/4 through my cook when the skies opened! Lost 70 degrees on the pit in about 90 seconds Luckily I had just wrapped my pork butt 5 minutes before- so it can technically finish it in the oven.

It looked earlier like it would be another couple hours before we got anything so I left the pop up and exhaust vent in the shed. lesson learned. (again!)

Hope the rest of you guys stay dry, at least until the food comes off the pit/grill.

C-Dub, I'll eat some pulled pork in your honor!

Houston outdoor cooking today was limited to boiling and poaching.

Wife and I shot steel plates this morning followed by a little practice drawing and firing with two targets. Baby Back ribs on the grill tonight with a Shiner Ziegenbock. Still hoping we get a little REAL rain, just got enough to barely wet the windshield driving back to town from th ranch.

We certainly need the rain in our part of Texas. Year half over now and we have received about six inches of rain year-to-date. Pretty grim.

Gonna take lots of fortitude to grill those burgers this evening too. Just checked thermometer on back porch--103 degrees in the shade. Nothing like lifting a grill lid and facing 500 degree heat while it is 103 outside...Well, this is Texas. I am a native Texan and love Texas but as I get older these hot summers become more and more unbearable.

I will not get to fire up the grill today. We have church tonight at 7:00. I will do baby back ribs tomorrow.
