The first rib roast in the new smoker has started. I put in 2 racks of ribs at 2:15, seasoned with hungarian paprika, cayenne pepper and salt. I added 3 more racks of ribs an hour later, I wanted to start them all at once, but 3 of the racks were frozen solid from the…
Vasco is a dog we’ve taken a ridiculous number of photos of over the years, and it’s something to see them all in one place. This gallery is a pile of my favorites — the goofy ones, the ones where he looks like he’s up to something, and plenty in between. That shot of him…
