As we prepare for this year’s Run for the Roses, my little bride and I are getting together the fixin’s for an appropriate beverage. That would be a mint julep. When I was in college, my roommate always said we should have juleps on Derby Day; we never got around to that.
I’ve told [...]
And via mail-o-gram, the Pigman responds:
Hi Ken,
Please call us during the hours 11am-8pm, Monday-Sunday. We are still
working on our online store. However, we would love to take care of your
order via phone in the interim. Thank you for your email, and we hope to
hear from you soon!
Best,
Richard Bruce

I’ll be on the phone [...]
Well, it’s happened again; we’re out of Pigman’s Sauce. A coworker brought me in a bottle, and when that’s gone, it’s gone. The Pigman has been redoing his website; thus far, there’s no Store tab. I used the website contact form to make this plaintive request:
I’m out of sauce for the first time [...]
For heaven’s sake, please title your support plea in a manner that suggests the nature of your problem. Hint : titles such as “URGENT upgrade issue”, “____ is broken”, “HELP”, don’t cut it.
While I’m at it, replies to fora posts that are something like “same thing happened to me” aren’t helpful either. I [...]

Chicken Fried Bacon
Two observations:
The adjective svelte doesn’t apply to more than a few of the restaurant’s customers.
If I’m ever in Snook TX, I’m gonna try it out.

Perhaps the best part of T-Day leftovers are the excellent smoked turkey sandwiches which will occupy my lunch pail on Monday. Smoky turkey, commercial cranberry glop, and a little mayo. With a few Utz Ripple chips. Man, oh man.
Almost enough to make me look forward to going back to work. [...]

The turkey is in the smoker; an 11 pound specimen1 buttered, seasoned, and lightly stuffed with citrus, apple, and onion.2 The fowl is over a water pan, to which some wine and additional seasonings have been added. And the hickory chips and chunks are now working their magic.
It is a little windy for my [...]

Home from work, earlier than normal, but it still wasn’t like getting cut loose at 2 or 3 in the afternoon. Sipping a cold one, and soaking the hickory chunks for the turkey smoking extravaganza tomorrow. My little bride has cleaned the smoker, and lined the fire pan and water pan with foil. [...]

And the drought gets dinged a little more. A nice, sometimes heavy, but a pretty soaking rain, too. Cold, wet, and a good night to be inside.
Needing the rain as we do, you’ll hear no complaints from me. My little bride, our faithful cat and I are in front of the teevee, [...]

From the ice cream gurus at Ben & Jerry’s, another flavor breakthrough: Cinnamon Buns. It’s described on the carton as
Caramel Ice Cream with Cinnamon Bun Dough & a Cinnamon Streusel Swirl.
Good to the last spoonful, too. Check it out at a supermarket near you.
