Smoked Turkey Breasts (Brined with Walton’s Turkey Brine & a little Waltons Maple Bacon Cure), Smoked stuffing (cornbread style with pecans, apples, cranberries, chorizo, etc.), Smoked Mashed Taters, Homemade Rosemary herb bread, gravy, & green beans in maple butter herb sauce.

These beef ribs are really tasty. Just like eating prime rib eye, but not enough & just falls off the bone. Got some on sale last week at Piggly Wiggly for just under $2.00 a pound.

You haven’t tried smoked Hamburgers Steaks with Onions & Gravy & Smoked Mac & Cheese?

Well, you out to.

Well, I had to do something so here are some smoke chicken wings with Butter Beans from a few weeks ago. The Butter Beans are Dried Jackson Wonders from Last Year’s Garden. They were really good!

Beans, Greens, & BBQ. Did a few butts with Barracho Beans, Last of Last Years’ mixed greens, Smoked Macaroni & Cheese (the real thing, baby), Home made Cold Slaw, Home Made Quick Dinner Rolls, & a little Buck Board Bacon for the Breakfast of the Future!_

Or, you could go uptown a bit & clean the freezer out for some Smoked Spatchcock Turkey with Summer stuffing, & can’t help them mashed taters & giblet gravy.

Just a little Smorgasbord for the weekend. Your choice, Twice Smoked Ham with Spicy Bourbon Glaze, Smoked Beef Shoulder Shoulder Roast marinated with Walton’s Pa’s Black Bull, Smoked Pork Tenderloin, Smoked Sweet Taters, & Smoked Mixed Vegies. Mama said you have to eat those vegies too, now!

twilliams PS: Refer to the drink of choice section as needed! Just have fun & give it your best. Some will like it & always come running & even offer to help. Well, the others…Well, I say that all that, but I understand.

gChart Beautiful & I mean perfect! I know they taste good too.

Tex_77 Mien Gott, that looks delicious! I have to be able to finish eating my chili!

Broke the beast (old style, manual #32 Grinder) out of his cage as it is time for some Dave’s Damned Good Chili & made a sack full of homemade meatballs to freeze up too. Grinden a good bit of beef with several sales on clod, sirloin, & pork shoulder. Gonna be eatten that chili for a few days with corn bread, & just in time for some low 30/high 20 degree weather. Will be washin it down with a little bit of Old Forrester 101 & Buffalo Rock with a little bit of Lemon. Gotta have a little sunshine!

Hurricane0331 Hello Texas, your going to like what we all have. But, don’t forget to go Blue! Blue Skies & Hurricanes, the perfect compliment & contrast.

PapaSop How did you like that Blonde? I found some stuff from up your way when on the road the other day. Leinenkugel’s Vanilla Porter & Toasted Bock. Not bad at all. I had never seen those before & definitely not locally.

ksbowman83 Welcome to the neighborhood. Yes, you definitely have an advantage with being so close to Walton’s too. I would probably be in deep trouble if I were that close! Remember, go BLUE & enjoy the BLUE life.

LeafLard333 Oh, welcome to the BLUE life too!

LeafLard333 Now you are the kind of guy (& gal) we need in the neighborhood, welcome. That walk in cooler sounds amazing. Funny thing, I have an antique smoke house if you want to call it that. I have what once was the smoke house on this property that they used to hang hams, sausages, & meats in back in the late 1800s/early 1900s as I understand it. I tried to restore it years ago, as best possible. I was not very successful in being totally correct due to finding the right siding profile to match the original. I ended up having to just create sections of original with sections of newer. Unfortunately, I converted it to our chicken house as we do not do a whole lot of that type of smoking & it was perfect for the chicken house. Sometimes though, I think of reconverting it back to the smoke house. I am sure that was not what you had in mind, but could not help but tell the story.

Jonathon For God’s sake, do not discard that beautiful thing, if you think you want to ever, call me! Other than the 50/50 vinegar bath, rinse, & baking soda bath to neutralize, I am thinking keep it away from liquids as cast iron is porous. I would think a light blast or walnut shell blast would do it best (after dismantling & taking lots of step by step photos). I use a bench mounted wire wheel too for restoration of that type & it gives the best results, but it will be hard to get into all the crevasses at the exterior of that beautiful slicer. There is a guy in Pittsburg that I have used more recently for for blasting & powder coating projects that does good work for a fair price, even with shipping (compared to local). For the exterior finish I just want to say light oil & keep it dry. You could also consider powder coating the exterior non moving parts. Take the wood handle off first, clean with murphy oil soap, dry very well & soak in boiled linseed oil while you are working on the metal. I know we all can’t wait to see that thing when you finish.

Team BLUE is here for YOU!
