We have been enjoying the first stretch of continuous tolerable weather since last year. We have been enjoying it by sitting on patio chairs doing absolutely nothing. While relaxing, this does not leave a whole lot of fun, exciting things to recount from the weekend. If we ever do things meeting those qualifiers, they definitely didn’t happen in the last few weeks. I did fire up the smoker one day, which I always enjoy. I threw on six racks of ribs and a small corned beef brisket, which sounds like a lot o’ meat but it was in preparation for my big party. Unfortunately nobody came, so we have a lot of ribs in the freezer. Attendance likely would have improved had I actually invited anyone, but that detail didn’t occur to me. I’ve been cruising recipes sites ever since, looking for ideas to use up leftover ribs. The options are precious few, it would seem. I’ve got a rib hash on the menu for a soon-to-happen brunch, and that’s about it. (Not gonna lie, I’m pretty excited about that one though.) Other than that day on the smoker… Well… Let’s see: Did some mowing and weed-eating. Re-seasoned the Blackstone griddle, to great success. Got the garden cleaned up and ready for planting. Power-washed the deck and patio furniture. Washed the cars. Played fetch with Quinny. That’s all I can recall at the moment, and I can’t think that any of those items bear further detail.
