    Somehow, we have to find a way to beat Dallas. **** the rest of the games. Just beat Dallas. It's a Christmas Day game. Thursday. 1 PM. At home. Figure it out. That's all I ask. Just win. Thank you.

    Here is an AMERICAN BBQ MAP. At first glance, it looks like they dissed Maryland, but if you look close, you'll find Baltimore and you'll also see icons of PIONEER PIT BEEF and JAKE'S GRILL which are, literally, my two favorite pit beef places. Also a nice big tall bottle of horseradish mayo...

    No Thanksgiving turkey posts? Here is my cat. It's 38 F outside and the wind is blowing, but my cat is warm and happy, guarding the turkey all afternoon. Here it is, fresh off the OK Joe Bronco drum smoker - rated best smoker overall for 2025 by Men's Journal. I slipped fresh sage...

    The Nostalgia Thread

    Here is a more recent piece of nostalgia. This is one of my favorite Redskins photos. Some may recall that Chris Cooley scored three touchdowns in a Washington Dallas game in December 2005, Redskins won 35-7. I wish I had this framed on my office wall. Happy Thanksgiving!

    Yes - the old school NFL is kind of fascinating to me. I believe Chicago work dark blue and Redskins wore dark burgundy, and so when it was filmed in black and white, they showed dark jerseys for both sides. Then when it was colorized recently, the jerseys didn't come out right in color. But...

    Today's gonna be a pretty nice day here for mid-November. High 61, wind from the SSE at 7 mph. - which basically means no wind when it comes from that direction - it will just breeze overhead. I'm gonna do some smoked short ribs from Boarman's. Bone in, but not the "plate ribs" - these are...

    Oh yeah, I wanted to comment on my brisket hold at Corolla. We were discussing brisket holding ovens in Aug, I think. This cook described here was in late Sept. Since the beach house oven didn't hold below 170, and holding it at 170 the year before didn't work as well as I hoped, I figured...

    Yes! It won't sear while it's wet. If you want a good sear without overcooking the interior of the meat, you gotta dab that water moisture off the surface of whatever. It gives you a head start. Otherwise, you waste time and energy while the water heats up, boils, and steams off. And you...

    Found a very nicely marbled tri-tip at Boarmans, 2.6 lbs. Smoked it low and slow last night on my SnS kettle. And just as I was putting it on, it started to sprinkle with more rain coming. Marvelous. When the IT hit 80 F, I turned it over. When the IT hit 120, I took it off. My plan was...

    "Plain & Simple - WE HATE DALLAS"

    "I'm really getting down the road and don't have many of these playoff games left. I've rested two weeks and I'm ready. Give me the ball." -John Riggins, nicknamed "The Diesel," early January, 1983, just before the 1982 playoffs were to begin, speaking to head coach Joe Gibbs indirectly...

    Schedule

    I hope I'm doing this right. To make a suggestion, I start a new thread in the suggestion forum, I think. It took me a few mins to figure this out, even though I had done it before. My suggestion is to update Washington's game schedule week by week so we can remind ourselves of the wins...

    Hors D'oeuvres

    Again. Yesterday evening. Fresh pesto just made an hour earlier. Fresh basil and fresh tomatoes from the garden. Fresh mozzarella. Pinch of salt. We like to sit on the front porch, nibble on whatever, drink our drink, and wait for the foxes. They come out at, or just before dusk.

    Maybe not. Here's another plate three weeks later - Saturday evening. Served on the front porch, of course.
