    Kids are easy to please. For a large portion of my childhood, I existed on gravy and biscuits for breakfast, banana sandwich for lunch and milk and cornbread for supper, during the summers at home. Only on Sunday(plus holidays) did we get a full home cooked meal or occasionally either Captain D's or KFC, plus grilling on the 4th. I thought all of that was fine until I was old enough to drive and went to places like Huntsville, Gadsden or Chattanooga to experience things like Chinese food, Mexican food(Tex Mex), etc. Eventually I found good Italian, Mediterranean, authentic Mexican, good BBQ, plus other foods in the hole in the wall type places.

    I am just hoping the storms do not fuck with my DirecTv tomorrow night.

    Of the original ones, yes. Does not mean there might not be some others that end up packed up with Nym.

    If I am eating pasta at Olive Garden, I too would be doing it belligerently. Will admit, have done the soup, salad and breadsticks for a cheap lunch. Am not going there for good Eye-talin food though.

    Also nanner puddin'. In the homemade custard and the meringue. If you use instant pudding, I keel you.

    ^It was the only "reality" show I ever enjoyed.

    Sorry, missed this until I decided to read back a bit. I know many people use brown sugar in rubs for pork, I don't. I do put brown sugar in my sauce(to offset the ACV kick a bit), which is only used on pulled pork sammiches, to offset the dry bread. So I guess I was partially wrong. White sugar will never touch any meat of mine though. I never have tried to smoke poultry(had some yes but never made it myself).

    I don't know about anyone from GNR being on the shows, I do know CC Deville, lead guitar for Poison was on one season.

    I would say she had more than surprise in her eyes.

    I think he was referring to me mentioning they do not say she is fireproof in the books. They don't say either way, at least not yet. It may be something the show made up or something that is yet to be seen in the books that will never be written.

    I did not think I was spoiling anything. That is pretty much common knowledge, if you ever watched any videos about the show. It has been mentioned by GRRM, the show runners, the cast and it is not a major thing in the books. I do not even recall it coming up in the books, they just did stuff in the show they did not do in the books. Just as some things have been left out(which I will not mention, since it might spoil the books for some). Sorry if I crossed a line. Just did not see that as anything spoilery but I guess it might be for a few.

    Of course, in the books she was not fireproof either. In the show, I just always figured she became fireproof when she was in the fire as the eggs hatched. they conferred the ability upon her, during that scene. Their inherent magic plus some of that blood magic still floating around the air, with the blood magic witch being burned on the pyre. Those things combined to imbue her with the fire immunity.

    Not really embarrassing for me, per se, takes a serious fuck upon my part for that but here goes. Many, many years ago, back in my twenties(approaching 50 now), I fell asleep in a hammock, on the beach. I woke up a little burned(even though I put on sunscreen) and kept getting weird looks from others until someone, the bartender at the beachside bar, finally told me what was going on. I had bird poop on my forehead. After I finished laughing and going to wash it off, I now had a white spot in the middle of a red forehead. Bird shit, great as sunscreen.

    Anyone, that watches MLB, know if KC now plays that song at every home game? I have not watched a single minute of MLB on TV since my mom passed(she was a huge Braves fan) back in 2007.

    Are you asking if he is highly regarded?

    Well, that is his photo in his avatar, whaddya expect?

    Yeah, that "brisket" I had yesterday, it was juicy enough but was chopped into tiny pieces, was chewy and zero flavor. The pork ribs were dry and you had to gnaw them off the bone. Had Fox Bros brisket and it is really good, miles better than anything I have found anywhere in AL but still a notch below what I found in TX at even semi chain places like Hard Eight. I know they are from TX originally but maybe it is just a question of the source for their meat, not being as fresh or local stock not being of the same quality.

    Sugar never goes on meat, save the sugar for the nanner pudding.
  22. bamachine
    Very few of the places I go use gas. They do tend to use hickory around here though, rather than oak.
  23. bamachine
    I think that may be the step they seem to miss on brisket here, the resting part. Most of it is lacking in flavor and too tough. Also, the vinegar, do you use white vinegar or apple cider vinegar. Do you just baste with it or marinate it before putting the salt and pepper rub on it?

    Bit late to this thread and as an outsider, may not be the best opinions but here they are. Fox Bros is great, just wish I could actually catch them when they have beef rib, as I hear it is awesome. My favorite place, anywhere in the ATL vicinity, is in Douglasville. It is the best cajun food I have ever had, outside of Lafayette or Alexandria, LA. That is Gumbeaux's. Everything is awesome there and huge portions(I make three meals out of it these days). My favorite is their seafood rotini, A huge plate of rotini with cajun cream sauce, shrimp, crawfish and andouille sausage. Doesn't really need it but put some hot sauce in it for an extra kick. Comes with garlic french bread and two sides. Like I said, enough for several meals, unless you are like I was in my teens and 20's, with a bottomless stomach.

    Curious, not that I am gonna go out and try to become a 'cue master on the smoker but what exactly do you guys do that makes brisket so tender and flavorful? I have tried brisket at a bunch of BBQ joints, all over Alabama and none of them do it anywhere close to every place I tried in TX. FWIW, none of the TX locations were as good at pork(ribs, pulled pork) as most places in AL. Sausage, especially the jap sausage, was better overall in TX, as well. Although, Saw's in Bham has awesome smoked sausage and boudin. Tried a new joint, here locally and regretted it. They did not do even the pork staples correct and seemed to think they did great brisket. I had to disabuse them of that notion. Gonna hafta stick to the one really good local joint(by local, I mean in my town, better places around the state), even if they also cannot do brisket justice, they have really good dry rub ribs and pulled pork.
