Really nice grill tray here from Williams-sonoma

Wow... Stumbled upon this site, some very interesting recipes and ideas there, if you are feeling you need a bit of inspiration with leftover "Offal" ingredients.

The thought of someday putting a piece of meat on my grill that was produced by some sort of science magic aka "in vitro", really does not light me up. Farming and butchering is a nobel trade, as is the preparation of delicious bbq. 

While on the topic of fake meat, What the hell is up with all the Meat and Dairy Analogs? Tofurkey brats ? soy burgers ?  Garden riblets? Soy Milk? When was the last time you saw a soybean with a nipple? There are tons of non meat products out there that I love, Grilled veggies are awesome! I would not want to eat simulated vegetables, why would anyone want to eat simulated meat? 

Fake Meat Prize!

If i ever meet a woman that would do this for me... I think I may marry her on the spot, they should have used double smoked bacon though, this bacon does not look cooked.

If there was ever an invention out there destined to piss off fathers everywhere, it's this. It's an outdoor air conditioner. Yeah, you heard that right.

Looking forward to my first all night cook of the year where the temperature does not drop below the 0 mark, we had a gorgeous day here today in the double digits (15c) or about 60f for you yanks reading. i'll post some pics of my pulled pork and pulled beef sometime on monday, as i think i'll have the Meat Sweats tomorrow night.

Whoa! cooking for a whole lot of people and want to cook with wood? have and extra $3,500 in spare change? the the Grillworks might be for you. Awesome Grill

Made a really nice dinner tonight, found some really fresh fish in the market today that just screamed out for some planked bbq. Recipe after the jump

I'm sure that many of my Canadian Padres are bringing out their bbq for the season, so here's a fairly useful guide for maintaining your Q, and getting it ready for the season

I have a dirty little secret that seems to make people crazy... I've been using warm cola to give my steaks a quick one hour soak before i put them on the barbie.. it seems start breaking down the fat in and make the steaks more tender, especially on fattier steaks like rib steaks cut from the prime rib. 

In Pharmacology, all drugs have two names, a trade name and a generic name.

For example, the trade name of Tylenol also has a generic name of Acetaminophen. Aleve is also called Naproxen. Amoxil is also called Amoxicillin and Advil is also called Ibuprofen.

The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were  Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.  

Pfizer Corp. announced today that Viagra will soon be available in liquid form and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer. It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one. Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new meaning to the names of "cocktails", "highballs" and just a good old-fashioned "stiff drink". Pepsi will market the new concoction using the name: MOUNT & DO.

Thought  for the day: There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.
