Winter breaking

Out hiking and enjoying the Parks. The cold weather is starting to break... thinking about getting out the bbq smoker.

For tasty beasts, smoked and slow roasted: season meat and let rest in the fridge over night, smoke meat for a couple hours, then into the roaster for awhile.

Mmmm... more on this later.

Music for getting out bbq smoker, setting up roaster. For me this is a cosmic energizing experience, so tunes from Rush would be good.

not so sloppy, sloppy joe

So what do you do with hot dog buns, sloppy joe and shredded cheddar? Toast the buns and make a good open face sandwich.

Toast the hot dog buns with a little olive oil. Plate up the buns open, add sloppy joe and shredded cheddar. Really, it is the only way to eat sloppy joe... and not be so sloppy.

If you want to go completely wild, boil some hot dogs and tuck them in the open face sloppy joe joy.

Recommended music for open face sloppy joe: Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show, Chicago, and any good groovy music.
