Sorry for the late posting of this Cinqo de Mayo dish. I don’t know where time goes. I am retired but I just seem to be behind. You people who are still working don’t know how difficult it is. Regardless, I did find time to fire up the Louisiana Grills pellet smoker to make Cinqo de Mayo wings. Continue reading Cinqo de Mayo Wings

Grilled Steak and Potatoes
Here was the situation. It was an unseasonably hot spring day here in the mountains. It seemed perfect to cook a steak. She Who Must Be Obeyed agreed if I did the potatoes and cooked the steak to medium. Sigh, she must be obeyed. I fired up the Weber Genesis grill and went to work.

Butter Burgers
I have made burgers with butter added before, see the post for Moist Burgers. I do it because She Who Must Be Obeyed buys lean ground beef and it just dries out too much when the beef is cooked well as is required for safe food practices when using hamburger. Continue reading Butter Burgers
Molasses Mustard Q Sauce
The term barbecue sauce has come to mean a sweet ketchup based sauce. There is nothing wrong with that kind of sauce, they are one of the main ingredients in Kansas City Ribs. However, there are so many different barbecue sauces from all over the world. There are mustard, white, vinegar, hoisin and many others. Continue reading Molasses Mustard Q Sauce
Island Chicken
Being raised in Vancouver, BC, Canada had a major advantage. There were families from all over the world and I had the opportunity to try many different cultures’ food. One of those was jerk chicken. Now I love jerk chicken but I also met people from other parts of the Caribbean. They also did grilled chicken but with different spice profiles. Not all had the allspice base of jerk chicken.

Oriental Ginger Ale Butt Chicken
I normally like to spatchcock a chicken when I smoke it. However, there is something about the taste and texture of a beer butt chicken. So, I decided to experiment and made Oriental Ginger Butt chicken on my Louisiana Grills Smoker.
Char Siu Rib Tips
I don’t know how it is where you are but around here you buy some side ribs (spare ribs) and you get one rack of nice ribs and what I call the trimmings. At first it looks like a rack of ribs but closer examination shows it is full of crossing bones and cartilage with large fat patches. I find if I cook them with the rest of the ribs they are difficult to eat, have a tough texture and it is difficult to avoid getting a large chunk of fat in your mouth. I decided to do something about it and made Char Siu Rib tips in my Louisiana Grills pellet smoker. Of course, you could do them in the oven but they just won’t have the kiss of the smoke. Continue reading Char Siu Rib Tips
Marinated Ribs
I have had an idea rattling around in the void I call my head for a while. If char siu marinade is good on pork, why wouldn’t it make ribs better. I finally decided to try it. I fired up the Louisiana Grills Pellet Smoker and made Marinated Ribs. Continue reading Marinated Ribs
Peruvian Kebabs
I went to the big city and got to a Costco. As it doesn’t happen often, I decided to treat myself. I took a second mortgage on Passing Wind Estates and sold some blood. I used the money to buy a whole tenderloin. I cut it into steaks but there are always scraggly pieces at each end. I cut these into cubes and made Peruvian Kebabs on my Louisiana Grills Pellet Smoker. Continue reading Peruvian Kebabs
