Let's do this. Thirth Sunday of February. BQ3K and StinkyCheese have signed up for Bald Eagle chili.
I'm on <a href="http://www.thesmokering.com/HowTo/weberribs/default.jsp">ribs</a>.
I was thinking of having pork shoulder too. Maybe that's too much. Someone with a slow cooker (Crockpot-brand OK) can ante up for that... The Wife threw away mine.
Let's keep a <a href="/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?MeatNightInLynn">wiki tally</a>.
(apologies to the nice people)
So, it's weird seeing it used on this thread.
Other yummy things:
* man-bums (God's greatest creation)
* cake
* flavoured lipgloss
* hot cocoa
* whisky
Things which are not yummy:
* many vegetarian foodstuffs
* lady-bums (icky)
Man-bums needn't be small, like Bowie's. They can also be high and round, like Clooney's. As I said, it's all in the thighs. Some ladies do have man-bums - usually ladies of the long & leggy persuasion. Which, ahem, ain't me.
But I have to say that while man-bums are delightful in many shapes and sizes, my true weakness is for the cheeky little ones. Juicy's all well and good, but nothing sets my heart a-fluttering like a Bowie-style mini-bum. Super-yum. Chum.
Ex-vegans are always seem to think that all vegetarians are pretentious and snooty. Most meat eaters don't think so, and certainly vegetarians don't. This is my best guess as to why:
1. Most vegans are pretentious and snooty
2. ex-vegans felt holier-than-thou when they were vegans.
3. Ex-vegans feel bad that they're not holier-than-thou anymore
4. They dropped being a vegan because the food <b>BLOWS</b> most of the time.
5. Vegans hate vegetarianism because they don't like the fact that they were once pretentious and snooty
Most vegetarians I know (I am not one) started off being vegetarian because of some childhood indignation. They have kept with it because the food is pretty good and they don't feel like they're missing out on much.
And when I say "poor" I mean "destitute" not "seeking sympathy in an ironic fashion."

Subject: [Q] Meat Night Lynn 2007 Feb 18
Sunday at 4pm. I'll have a rack (two?) of ribs coming of the BBQ.
I'll need a confirmation on Chris Schlesinger's All-South Rub,
however.
______ is promising to bring an animal you couldn't possibly guess. I'm
not sure if it will be in the "5 animal chili", or if it supercedes
it. I'm informed ______ can't make it.
______ promises adovada pork shoulder.
We might have a rib competition if______ brings his own.
I don't have a head count, but I think its 5 including myself. Please
let me know if you will stop by.
There will be a "Free Speech Zone" in the back tier of the the garden.
Those opposed to Meat Night are welcome to congregate there, and voice
their concerns. A note of caution, that area doubles as the "Free
Mila's Doo-Doo Zone".

I'm leaving it on all night to simmer. Four products, three meats. Mmmmmmmm.

No photos of the finished ribs. The time elapsed from removal off Weber to insertion into gullet was fairly short. I'm really disappointed I grabbed one package of "baby back ribs". The spareribs were excellent, if I do say so myself, but the baby back ribs did not have enough fat to handle the five hours on the grill.
The pork adovada was excellent. Steak tips were perfect. Sorry that the wings got burnt, I should've stayed out of the kitchen. I feel like my insistence on using the broiler was the downfall.
Sunday night I made them a fritatta with onion, potato and asparagus...which was AWESOME!
I had some pretty hard core ring of fire myself, both yesterday and today. I need to get the final few inches of my colon in shape for Santa Fe in July though, so I prefer to think of it as practice. Especially since I'll be sharing a house with 10 people.
Had lots of California seafood on Sunday though.
The Milla photo is priceless.
