other dog

Macungie is always on Father's Day weekend, whenever that is.

That smoker is the cat's ass, I have one at home too.

Ribs-

I will be looking forward to seeing them.. You and Zina have a safe  trip back home..

Thank you. I think we're leaving Sunday. But at my age we take 17, 301, 601, 1, 220, etc. so it might take 2 days to get back. 95 scares me.

Nice bike.

Food looks amazing so do the blue pants, come on???????? Bob

Yes indeed, they were absolutely skin tight. I wish I could have gotten a picture of the smoking hot chick that I saw walking carrying a cup of beer in each hand. She had on cut off blue jean short shorts and a white tank top...but I can't just take pictures of things like that like I used to. I got in trouble for making a comment about Vicki's breastesess 🤣

Oh, and I have many more pictures from the car show on the camera. I'll post a link when I get home. I took about 350.

I bought this one in 2019. And it was an honest young turkey, it never lied to me. 

We're not even cooking a turkey this year. I smoked one last year, but I've got ribs in the smoker now. We're at Vicki from Florida's house.

They had some really good looking food too. A turkey leg at one food stand was $15, a little too expensive for me. I once bought a whole turkey for $4, so I went with an $8 cheeseburger.

All I can think of is this style of thing

 

So other dog, do you put a bone through your nose when cooking?

 

 

 

Yeah, but it's a clip-on

Time to put it back in the shed. Can't wait to make a stew and try it out!

I have to drag it on the wagon, it's too heavy to carry very far.

This is my platform that I made to put the stew pot lid on when I add ingredients, and the lid lifter that I made a few years ago out of a long bolt. Works great. 

Welp, we're getting there. Looks better already. The pot that is, can't say the same for the piece of fat meat.

I think I'll make a bigger stand so it will fit in it a little bit deeper though.

Check out that Lodge Cast Iron website too, there was some pretty good information on it.

outside you can use almost anything. it is inside that counts.

Yes, I put the wire brush wheel in my drill and worked on some of those skillets with it, used fine sand paper on some too.

Here's something Zina got to clean cast iron. I used it to scrub those skillets, it came from Lodge too. I think she found it at the Walmart store. It works good too, pretty stiff bristles.

I suppose you could rent a big truck just like you can rent a car, remember the old "Ryder rents trucks!" commercials? Vicki from Florida rented a car in Richmond when they flew in last week and turned it in in Roanoke when they left, a one way rental. Just a thought.

I don't even like using Crisco seasoning pans anymore, never mind cooking and baking with it.  Animal fats the way to go! 

I know this sounds like something off of The Beverly Hillbillies but raccoon fat is the best if you can find some. Bacon grease would work but its better to find some with no salt in it. 

That's the reason I use the Crisco, no salt. I bought a big chunk of cured hog jowl to rub it with before I do the Crisco. I'm sure it's loaded with salt, but salt works good to clean cast iron too. I just don't want to use salted fat to season it and then let it sit for months before I use it again.

This is what I'm going to wipe it out with first, easy to grip and hold too.
