A Guy, A Grill, A Rack Of Ribs, And A Side Of Reflection
Within just a couple of days, an evening dusting of snow was transformed into a lazy, freezing rain, itself only lasting until the temperature dictated that any more precipitation would be in the form of rain. Shortly after, the sun…
Fall Harvest On A Plate: Pork Tenderloin Over Apples, Red Onions and Squash
Any lingering doubts have been pushed to the side and run over like a door greeter at a Black Friday sale. Fall has arrived, apparently bringing the start of winter along for the ride. And as is usually the case, accompanying…
BBQ Pumpkin Glazed Salmon and Shrimp.
I finally caved. Well, it’s more of a compromise than a caving, I suppose. I’m talking about pumpkin spice, and how it has infiltrated every flavor profile out there, showing itself to be just as invasive as those late summer…

Chicken Quarters, In The Spirit of the Retro Cookout
I don’t pretend to remember a lot about my younger days, but occasionally seeing certain things will trigger a memory or two. A small fishing pond, a country road lined with hardwood fence posts and barbed wire, and then, well, there’s…
Hickory Smoked Meatloaf with Sweet Potatoes On The Grill
