Good morning!!!!

The closest decent barbecue joint to me in in New Lebanon, NY. An old lady ran the operation for years. The new owners are from MA.

I/We've only eaten our way down the east CONUS coast and sampled the regional foods and the barbecue along the way (and back). There are differences in style and tastes. We like spicy/hot foods, but not those "sweet" rubs and sauces and the "Southern Style" iced tea- sweet enough for a hummingbird.

I like NC style BBQ, never cared for real hot stuff, prefer to taste the meat. Don’t like the sweet either. I’m a southern boy and grew up on the sweet tea, but I like it less sweet than that.

I get confused with the different regional styles of barbecue. I do not cook with sugar if I can get away with it. There is a lot of vinegar and the rub mix in the mop sauce, my barbecue sauce is on the side and the "heat"; the ketchup usually is enough sweet, I may add some honey to balance out the cider vinegar.

Daugen- Next time.:wink:

I used to ride bike a lot, i enjoyed it. Dont ride much any more, cant right now. I keep wanting to get an exerciser bike, one piece of exercise equipment I'm likely to use. Wife keeps saying no.

I'm a bike person, too, bef. Or, well, I used to be. Gotten fat and lazy over the past few years. We had my Wife's G'Ma's old exercise bike for awhile, until she gave it to her uncle to free up some room. I miss it. We have other equipment at home - Bowflex, treadmill, elliptical - but I'd really just rather ride a bike, even if it's not going anywhere.

... the "Southern Style" iced tea- sweet enough for a hummingbird.

For those of us not from the South, that first experience with authentic Southern Sweet Tea is a real eye opener. :shocked:

Amazon notified me today that my prime membership was going up again, I cancelled. It had gotten past the point of diminishing returns.

I'm also questioning the value of Prime.. it is nice when I need something quick and it is under the free shipping threshold for non prime, but they have missed enough "guaranteed delivery dates" that it is not that big of advantage. I report the missed deliveries and they sometimes extend my prime for a month, but it is a hassle. I watched some free video, but seldom do now..

PJS- At the time that I had my first taste of real genuine Southern ice tea I was a medication induced brittle diabetic. My blood sugars really spiked +400 I was sugar rushing so hard that I wanted to get out of the truck at 75mph and start running alongside. it was awesome

Since our two Saint Bernard's passed last Summer and Fall (age/bone cancer) I have been doing no walking/hiking/snowshoeing and it shows. Spring will come some day and so will a dog maybe two. :wink:

Just had mission bbq for lunch, with the sweet smoky sauce. Yumm.
I can do NC style also, but prefer the sugar sauce. Lol

They may have poured gasoline on it and lit for all I know, but my terminology fit just fine, if what you were doing was normal and it caught fire anyway, that痴 about as spontaneous as it gets.

They said when the pic was taken, the stove had been pulled away from the wall.

I don't often post other websites, but this one is pretty darn good if you are interested in smoking food and learning how. My bets ribs come from a recipe there. He has step by step instructions with bits of wisdom mixed in.

Smoking Meat - The Complete How to Smoke Meat Guide

Thanks for the link. Might have to get a smoker to try some.

I have not posted a picture here in years.

The tractor.

The ribs.

I'm with you, Buckeye, make mine sweet'n'smoky. :licking:

Just got word that this morning someone jumped from the high concrete bridge over the West Branch of the Feather River, just a few miles from here. Apparently he's not the first, but the first since I've been here. They've recovered the body, but it's too bad someone wasn't able to reach out to the guy and give him the help he needed.
