I've got a full tank of propane on one grill and a full hopper of pellets in the smoker and I'm ready to cook!

planning on.......

Smoked salmon

A rack of ribs

Seasoned pub burgers.

I'll be working lol

No big plans for me. It’ll be a day of participating in some Memorial Day ceremonies and reflection with The Patriot Guard.

I'm working OT today and tomorrow. I'm off Sunday thru Wednesday.

Probably do a prime rib roast.

More of a play it by ear than an actual plan. LOL

If you are near Milwaukee this weekend, let me know. I'd love to cook a burger for you 🙂. I have extras. No need to bring anything.

That's how we are rolling also minus the work part (Retired). Going to try and squeeze in some disc golf also, weather permitting. We are going to rocket all the way up to 61'F this weekend 🤣.

We are just going to be working around the house. We have had a slow spring where it's raining and cold every weekend. We had to light the wood stove up this past week.

This is usually the weekend I open my pool but it has been unseasonably and unbearably cold this last week. And the rain seems like it will never end.

However, most MEAT is on sale, so I will be stocking up ;)

Amen brother.

It's a day of remembering why we have what we have and those who fought and gave their lives to provide us this ❤️ ♥️

It's been definitely an unpredictacle -typical Ohioan- spring thus far.

We are going with pork ribs on the smoker with a slight twist.

Just as they are done and come off the smoker I slice them and drop them into the deep fryer in lard. Just for a few seconds.

For the sauce people they come right out of the grease and into the sauce pan.

I pass on the sauce and just enjoy the meat and the grease.

That cooking method has me intrigued. Have you made them like that in the past? Anything fried in lard is good IMO. I will refry pork rinds sometimes in bacon grease, and let me tell you that will bump up your fat macro for the day for sure! 🤣 my wife thinks I'm nuts whenever I do that. I just smile and eat them all.

I can prepare just about anything but ribs have always been my downfall. The best way I have found is the 3-2-1 method. I have more misses than hits when it comes to ribs. If I really NEED a rack of ribs right now we usually end up at Texas roadhouse. Theirs are perfect every time. I always wanted to work there for a few days just to get their secrets, but I couldn't stand to work with all those young kids.

I hadn't made these in a while. They turned out pretty good in the lard but the last time was in tallow. I'm leaning toward the lard. They came off the smoker and into the deep fat fryer and a handful of them came out of the fryer and dropped into a pan of BBQ sauce. I am not much on sauce anymore but they turned out really good.

3-2-1 is the best way to go. Mine come out good every time.

My son does a much better job than me. He is into the details. I'm more of toss it up on the grill and let's eat.

When he cooks chicken thighs he will spend 45 minutes to an hour, or more, pulling the kin off, trimming them to where all the exact same size and then putting the skin back on to be cooked. He practices at home before he goes into one of the competitions.

I struggle to see the point all the pre-work. Again, get it up on the grill and let's eat.
