| It all started when Jeff called and asked if I would smoke his meat. Wait a minute... that didn't sound right. He asked if I would pull his pork. That didn't sound right either... He asked if he could come over and the two of us could combine forces for a feast.
When he showed up, he had everything; menu, ingredients, toolbox full of utensils, etc. Here is Jeff getting started on the baked beans. I don't know what it is about this pic but damn he makes my kitchen look even smaller than it is. hey Jeff, ya might want to put a frying pan under that bacon if you're trying to cook it. 

Of course, Sharon knows to stay away from the kitchen when I'm cookin.

Since Jeff had most everything else under control, I was put in charge of the smoker. Jeff just bought the same smoker I have and wanted to see the ins and outs of maintaining a good heat. It is a science to achieving the right heat/smoke mixture and keeping it level for the amount of time it takes to cook.

After smoking for about 4 hours, we went back into the kitchen to prep some peppers. Jeff sliced and stuffed jalapenos while I wrapped them in bacon. We put those on the smoker for about 45 minutes to an hour. What a great appetizer!


As it got closer to eating time, we through some corn on the grill.
When all was done, it was a feast fit for an AF gathering.

We took the pork and made samiches using a BBQ sauce Jeff made up. Mmmmm, mmmmmm.... I'm glad I stole some leftovers of that sauce!

| Although it's only 8:45 in the morning and I just finished my bowl of oatmeal with strawberries, blueberries and first cup of coffee . . . I think I'm jonesin' for some smoked stuffed Jalepenos wrapped in bacon! Yous guys are killing me over here!! Yum! The photo essay from both of you is a treat! Sharon - don't blame you for keeping out of the kitchen with those two taking over. You get to reap the rewards without getting shot in the eye with Jalepeno juice!  And although I don't have a photo of it, here's what was on the menu at our house last night: Grilled marinated chicken breasts - marinated in Jack Daniels, honey, Worsteschier (SP?) sauce and onion powder. Grilled fresh pineapple and peach slices - brushed with maple syrup (Arranged the pineapple and peach slice on top of the chicken and then drizzled with a BBQ / Jack Daniels / Cream sauce) Grilled asparagus - with lemon and olive oil (my favorite) Baked Butternut squash - thanks to Cracker, Kevin is hooked on the stuff!  Risotto cooked with fresh Thyme and coconut milk. I need a new digital camera!! |
