Reaffirmation of my fear of heights.

Look, I don’t care if I’m two feet off the ground.  Tor some reason my knees get wobbly.  So for the same reason I don’t go hiking in the woods to go get infested with tick bites and die, don’t mess around with dogs that want to eat me-  I don’t climb up ladders only to fall to my untimely death.

Sirloin Roast on the @WeberGrills Kettle

Joey Ciaramitaro's avatarNortheast BBQ

Very simple. Trim excess fat off the roast.

Rub down with EVOO.

Sprinkle on the John Henry’s East Texas Brisket Rub (you can use any rub you’d like)

Set up the kettle using the snake method.

Cherry Chips and apple wood for smoke.

Cook offset the coals til 125 internal temp.

Remove temp probe and sear directly over the coals just to get a little color and caramelizing.

Let rest for 5 minutes minimum.

Slice thin and enjoy!

For general information on Yoga – from the National Institutes of Health/National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health – https://nccih.nih.gov/health/yoga/introduction.htm

But with so many styles of Yoga, which do you choose?

  • Hatha
  • Kripalu
  • Vinyasa.
  • Iyengar.
  • Ashtanga.

  • Yin Yoga. ….

My Personal Introduction to Yoga – Nineteen years ago yoga was part of my ‘tool kit’ for smoking cessation.

The ending shivasana (pronounced Shuh-vah-sana) allowed for a deep head-to-toe (or toe-to-head, depending on the instructor) relaxation. Sometimes accompanied by a guided meditation and a warm blanket. My first session allowed for an emotional release I had not expected. Perhaps a release and letting go of my former 22 -year pack-per-day habit that…
