Shrimp: A Quick Change of Pace

Now that it's January, it is a little cold outside. Some areas of the country are colder than others. Keep the flavor of the grill coming to your table with some grilled shrimp. It cooks quickly. So you don't have to brave the cold for very long to enjoy them.

Chili Time

I made some chili a couple of days ago and thought I would tell you about it. Not that it is so much different than what is already on the website, but it was just so good...

I don't usually make chili unless it's cold outside. So I go long stretches, with these Texas summers, between bowls of chili. And this was a long hot summer. So I guess that's part of the reason it tasted so good... it's been a while.

This time I cut up some fresh onion, garlic and ginger to sautee. I added ground beef and plenty of other seasonings. I had some leftover black beans that I used too. It was very good then, and I am going to have some more tonight, too.

I tell you about all of this just to remind you about the goodness of chili. I forget about it until the weather changes. But it is such a good comfort food that I just had to bring it to your attention. Maybe you forgot about it (like me).

Who knows you may be having some chili tonight too.

Turkey Safety

Don't guess. Take the time to be right (and safe).

If you are going to be frying a turkey for the holidays, be sure you know before you start, how much oil you will need.

If you don't use enough oil you won't have enough to cover the turkey. The dangerous part is when you have too much oil. In that case, when you lower the turkey into it, it could overflow right into the fire.

One way to find out how much oil you need is to measure with water first. Just place your turkey into the empty pot in the position that it will be cooking. Then pour enough water over the turkey to be at the desired oil level.

All you have to do now is to take the turkey out, and mark the water level. After you empty the water, fill the pot with oil to your mark. You now have the appropriate (safe) amount of oil for your perfect fried turkey.

A New Twist on Brisket

Here is another twist on smoking a brisket that sounds interesting. I haven't tried it yet, so you may end up trying it first and tell me about it.

Get a flexible brisket that isn't too thick. Prepare it with a rub or like you normally do. Then roll it lengthwise with the fat cap on the outside. Tie it with twine to hold its shape. Smoke as usual.

You could put on a layer of any number of succulent stuffings before rolling. Maybe a paste, maybe some peppers and onions, or maybe some potatoes. Whatever you like.

Give it a try. I know I will. If you want a little more information about briskets, simply check out the website.

Never Serve Dry Meat Again

Here is the ideal way of keeping that brisket or butt from drying out during the long slow smoke. A mop. That's right... Read up on it again and refresh your memory.

Another Possibility

If you're not enthused about committing the time it takes to smoke a brisket, I have another idea you might like for this holiday weekend... pizza.

That's right, pizza. It's fun, quick & easy cooking, the kids love it, and it tastes great. And... it doesn't take near the time that a brisket does.

It actually takes more time getting prepared than the cooking does. The toppings must be ready and available for use at grilling time.

But, if you have never grilled pizza before, you have nothing to fear. For your convenience, I have outlined the necessary details to consider on the grilling page.

Give grilled pizza a try, it may be the best pizza you ever ate.
