Thanks guys... I have been seriously bummed the last few days. I got to see his kids again & met all of his grand-kids.
I also got to see pictures of him & his family that I never saw before & to share with his kin some of our 'good times' together. Phil was a close friend to say the least...
Supper tonight is going to be rather meager... just a pot of okra gumbo/rice & bread. But I told the wife that she is going to eat ribs tomorrow & that I was also going to start on my cheese (& that it was not open for discussion).

. Basically it is rice, chicken, okra, onions and some spices.

What gives the 'slop' the orange color... tomatoes?
Yes, sorry, I forgot that, those are put in the rice after the rice is cooked.

I was guessing...
Well the ribs are thaw out, I'll season them up in a little while... I'm currently bring the temperature of the milk up to 100 degrees for the cheese so I can add the culture.

Everything tastes better with bacon & corn in it!!!
I don't know where I saw it, but I remember someone grilled bacon-wrapped corn-on the-cobs & they looked pretty darn good... gonna have to try that one of these days!!!

Last night I grilled a backstrap from a spike (whitetail) I shot last year. I cut the BS in half, added some light seasoning (fiesta steak seasoning) and wrapped both pieces in bacon. Got the gas grill going steady at 350 and cooked for 10 minutes on each side (20 min total). Pulled it off, wrapped in foil and let it sit for 20 minutes and then cut into a beautiful, medium cooked piece of venison.

Here was our supper for tonight... smoked ribs (on the kettle), baked potatoes, okra gumbo & roasted okra. Ribs where excellent (excuse my modesty)!

Unbelievable. YOUR dinners are an art form. Mine require a Hazmat team to dispose of the leftovers.

I'm probably going to smoke some drumsticks in the kettle tomorrow... I have a beautiful 2" sirloin with baked potatoes & corn set for Monday.

Decided to save the drumsticks for a later date... While at the store today, they had some nice whole chickens (4-5 lbs) for 77 cents/lb. so I stocked up.
Just put 2 chicken halves in the kettle, along with 2 baked potatoes. Guess we'll throw a salad together to round it off... to hot/humid to mess around here.

Sam,
That sounds good, but pity the poor chicken farmers. at that price. I had an uncle in NW Arkansas that had a feed store, and he got rich after WW2, furnishing the feed and baby chickens to farmers that would raise them on shares, but does not sound that lucrative now.

Ernie, I have no idea how much it costs to raise a pound of chicken meat... A good neighbor told me a few years ago that it cost 18 cents/lb, although I have no idea what it costs nowadays & he maintains 2500+ to this day. I only have personal knowledge of our costs raising beef & it is always challenging chasing the protein/lb curve, although we serve a different segment of the supply chain.
I only hope that that the chicken guys/gals are making money... but at 77 cents/lb, I bought 25 of them & shoved them into the freezer.
