How long will he last?

Posted on by Alicia Unleashed

I have always been a fan of Cam Newton since he entered the scene.

According to a news article earlier this morning, Cam Newton said: “Don’t believe the hype,” while walking on a treadmill. “You know what I’m saying? I never once — and I say this right now — I never once wanted to leave Carolina.”

Question begs, do you think he will last the entire season? Do you think he will stay or go once his year is up?

Let’s not forget in October 2017 when he was raked over the coals for being sexist.

How many people have the Pats signed just to see them go after a game or before the season has begun?

 

 

 

Star Gazing

Posted on by Nichole S.

When sitting on the beach around a fire the other night we noticed two really bright stars right next to each other.  I’m not super knowledgable when it comes to astronomy…and I was curious as to what those stars might be.  I downloaded Sky Venture Lite and started to point my phone towards the sky.  It was pretty interesting and will be fun for the boys this summer.  Below are screenshots taken from the app on my phone above the fire pit.

Smoked Chuck Roast Queso On The Ivory @WeberGrills Mastertouch

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Northeast BBQ

Smoked Chuck Roast Queso. I’ve seen plenty of smoked Queso recipes and they all look good. Here’s what I did that I think puts it over the top: when smoking the chuck roast I put a foil pan under the roast with a small can of beef broth in it. It does two things. It keeps moisture in the kettle helping the chuck not dry out, it also collects the drippings. I save that and pour about a cup of the drippings into the Queso. The charred and roasted jalapeño along with the drippings give this Queso an incredible smoky richness that is incredible.
