Earthquake 88

I tried to explain this to my Seattle in-laws. But they insist on drowning ribs and pork shoulder in it whenever I have them over.

That’s just nasty.

Well, if you're using the white sauce on anything other than chicken, you're doing it wrong. Some enjoy it on other things, but the sauce was specifically made for chicken.

---

Yep. I feel the same way. White sauce goes on chicken not pork.

If have Pallidades Zoysia. The turf farm told me Zoysia doesn’t need real high nitrogen. He was saying something like 15-0-15 17-4-8 in my area south of I-10.

The part in my yard that was hybrid Bermuda the turf farm was saying 17-24 was about right and noted the more nitrogen the more I’d be out there cutting.

I don’t know one person who drinks Bud light. Even before the woke shite.

Prior to the woke BS Bud Light sold 1 out of 5 beers in this country. Bud Light alone controlled 17% or more of the market for over two decades making it the best selling beer in the country.

I personally don’t drink Bud Light either, but I feel bad for the American employees that had to pay the price for woke BS stances the corporate owners in Europe advertised that got the American public riled up. My uncle lives in southern Illinois and drove a beer truck for them for 30 years. In that area it was a great job for someone that decided college was not for them. The original American employees were just your average non woke employees that just wanted to do their jobs and go home.

I really wish these old American breweries would not sell out to these foreign conglomerates. Coors and Miller are both owned by Molson I believe which is a Canadian company. Yuengling is one of the few American breweries that have not sold out to foreign countries.

My ex wife had lower back problems after our second child was born. I sent her to 3 of the best neurosurgeons in the country yet she refused to get back surgery. Long story long 8 years later a pain management doctor had her on 240 10mg Loratabs a month and she also had a prescription to OxyContin that I didn’t even know about. Back then pharmacist would fill prescriptions a week early. I actually made an appointment with my wife’s doctor and when he asked how can I help you I told him please reduce the medication he was prescribing to her because she was too intoxicated to be a good mother or wife and I’m fearful she could up and die. She stayed on that stuff for 8 years and that doctor got turned into the DEA. Opiates are a drug one should not chase. It ruined her health. She’s 57, broke, no job, can’t work, and has been in and out of hospitals since May for organ failure. Doctors have pretty much said she could go today to say a year or two tops. Sure feel bad for her but she brought this onto herself. The two I truly feel sorry for are our two children. I still to this day am so grateful they turned out normal and productive and don’t generally do anything wrong. Maybe watching their mother destroy herself made them wiser about handling you business better. What a mess!

I smoke mine bone on. So much flavor comes from the bone.

---

I can agree with you if the bones have not been removed then tied back on to the bottom of the roast. I just don’t understand how a roast sitting on top of bones then tied together will add flavor. Bone in ribeye 2” thick is one of my favorite steaks. If the butcher cut that bone out then tied it back on I just don’t see how I’d get the same bone in taste.

I honestly think the bones tied back on to the roast are most probably for a presentation type reason.

spending $400 on one entree is wild.

It’s only cost $200. They are very nice looking, I have 12 people coming to dinner for Christmas, so for $9.99 per pound at Publix, that’s a pretty great deal in my opinion.

I bought two 10 pound standing rib roast. I’ve only smoked a few of these because my family prefers less fatty cuts of beef. I want to change things up this year because we just smoked a tenderloin about 2 months ago.

In the past I smoked the standing rib roast with the bones tied on by the butcher. Presentation wise it looks nice. However, I got to thinking would I get a better finished product if I untied the things and took the bones out of there and I tied it back up?

USDA Choice Standing Rib Roast in Mobile/Baldwin County is $9.99 LB at Publix and $12.99 LB at Fresh Market. That’s the cheapest I’ve found. A lot of stores I’ve been to are in the $17 to $18 range.

Do you have to be the one to open her Gatorade bottle or the lid on a jar of garlic or pickles? Does she have arthritis?

---

Yes sir occasionally I do have to open bottles for her. Good point and something I’ve thought about. She had surgery on one of her hands years ago.
