BBQ - Primo brisket, butt, Daddy D'z, Blue ritas & a little Daisy

I am going to cram all this into one post as I am getting lazy about posting food pics.

Char-grilling oysters and all the rhetoric about Dragos vs the World? C'mon, man...seasoned GA peach tree put to good use:

12 lb small packer, 9 hrs, 50 minutes, all good:


A tad windy:






Butt, 9.8 lbs:








Stopped on the way to the Braves game for some Q, this place is a couple miles northeast of the Ted:



My first time, friend had been 5x before and said it was always hit or miss. I wanted the beef ribs but they were sold out, so went with the spareribs/white meat chicken with green beans, collards, and TX toast + 24 oz PBR for $24.34 + tip. It was very good, but way too much food. Friend had spares & pulled pork, fried okra, beans, cornbread, PBR + a huge chocolate chip cookie. I was like, "seriously, a cookie on top of all that?" It was good, next time we split a combo plate as we both suffered through the game although I did have more beer while he just kinda bitched about eating too much the whole game. He shouldn't have eaten the massive cookie.

Wife made some different blueberry 'ritas. Heat oven to 400, roast berries until the burst, mix with simple syrup, fresh lime juice, blanco tequila, and good triple sec. It was good, but a little too sweet me and I didn't know she added triple sec on top of the simple syrup until after.


I strongly prefer a mix of lemon & lime, roughly one medium lemon to two limes, and enough berry to add some flavor but not overwhelm, so I modified and omitted the simple syrup and went with Cointreau instead of Stirrings TS, mighty fine. Drier, good berry flavor complementing the citrus.


Saved another life on 5/28 from a kill shelter, she had been there 4-weeks, was heart worm positive and needed to be spayed. A bunch of small minded dummies were dumping high volumes of their dogs at a kill shelter so they could go on Memorial weekend vacation, guess their "pets" were limiting their enjoyment of life too much.

OMG, she is part Pit, just like my super competitive nose work trial girl:
