Depends on what I’m cooking. Anything that is a long cook yes, things I want direct heat on, no. Tonight’s pork tenderloin was super high direct heat to get that crusty exterior, finished with some japanese bbq sauce near the end to caramelize nicely. Same with steaks or chops. Any roast or thick piece or more delicate thing like fish, or roasted veggies, yes, I use it.
Maybe I've become part of the Instagram generation but I enjoy the pics vs just hearing/reading about it. Looks awesome man.
Indeed. Today is a hot, sunny day, with the lovely smell of a beef prime rib on the BBQ. The campsites have pretty well emptied right out due to the time of the year, and it being not a weekend, so there's more privacy due to fewer people. I had one guy walk by, stop, smell, and then ask what the hell was I cooking that smelled so good... turns out he's some sort of big Pit Master down in the US, so we talked BBQ for a bit. He said he was impressed with the state of my prime rib, and commended me on "being civilized while out in the wilds", and he was going to drop by some of his personal pork rub that he had with him later on. Looking forward to trying that out. Maybe all people don't suck after all.
I thought my dog smeared poop in the bed and was not feeling too stoked about the situation, then realized it was actually melted chocolate chips that I dropped the night before.
Sunday night was fun. Up to baseball sized hail in Austin. I'm glad to have a garage and to be renting a house. Not my video. It was actually worse at my house.
About an hour south of y'all. We didn't get the hail but holy shit, that lightning show was amazing!!! My dogs didn't think so, but whatever. From the sounds of it we're in for a lot more of this weather in the upcoming months. Given the way our creek looks, I'll take as much of it as I can get!
I'm laughing at all the women secretly filming their SO's about Travis Kelce being a nobody until he started dating Taylor Swift and how she's boosting his career. Dudes having complete meltdowns.
I’m waiting for the commentary about her being a distraction to him and the team. If his performance falters for any reason, you can bet she will be blamed.
That’s happening? Are the Chiefs hated that much now? Granted they bought last year’s SuperBowl victory combined with Mahomes being the most uncool athlete on the planet… but that does not make sense. I pity anybody who dates her because of the ridiculous level of fame she’s on. Michael Jackson sold out football stadiums in ten minutes. He did not sell out that same stadium six nights in a row, 18 months later, at $700 a ticket. That is INSANE fame. Privacy is a gift, and it’s GONE once you’re on that big cog of the machine. Your entire personal life, and it’s history, becomes Showtime At The Apollo for the entire planet.
It came right after Swift launched a campaign to get her fans (young liberal women mainly) to register to vote, so the conservatives are big mad about it, and are hilariously trying to cast a 6'5" NFL tight end piping the most famous woman in the world as an "unmasculine beta."
That even funnier. Wait until they remember that he worked with Bud Light over the summer. Literally worse than Hitler.
No, no, no. It's a joke that they don't know who he is and all these armchair quarterbacks are losing their minds at the notion that Kelce is a nobody and now his career is going to get a boost because of TS.
