95% of vegans are like the most obnoxious people in the world, having to stuff their vegan-ness all up in your bidness.

Who’s gonna let a little snow stop them from manning the pit?  Not this guy!

A Snowy Owl stopped by to check out the action-

The set-up

Country style boneless pork ribs hit the kettle.  I used hickory chunks and cherry chips, charcoal set up- snake method and tossed the water pan from the Western Mountain Smoker to keep the ribs from getting dried out.

Once they hit 150 internal I pulled them off, cut them up into cubes and reapplied the rub.  Melted a stick of butter and mixed it with Texas Pete hot sauce and coated them before I reapplied the rub.

Live Blogging Snowy Owl Here @CaptJoeLobster While @KimSmithDesigns Vidrotapes

I had just set up the @webergrills kettle to smoke up some pork burnt ends when Tim Ring pointed out the snowy Owl.  Immediately I called Kim Smith and she’s getting some great footage right now as the ravens swoop down and try to shoo it away.

Pet of the Week-Puff

 

puff1.jpg

People who meet me can’t help but wonder, “what is such an adorable young lady still doing single?” Well I’ve been thinking the same exact thing! I was brought in by a local rescue group who thought I was too sweet to be living the rest of my days on the streets.  So here I am, waiting to find a family to take me home! I like enjoying all aspects of life.  I am good at playing, eating, relaxing, getting and giving attention and affection.  All of the important things! Do I sound like a good match for you and your family?

  • If You Couldn’t Go Another Second Without a Coffee, Which Line Would You Get Into?

    I was traveling from Boston to Las Vegas the other day and passed on a coffee at 6:30 a.m. when leaving “the island” because I wanted to savor a large hot coffee while sitting at the airport.

    This is what I found waiting for me when we finally checked in, checked our bags, cleared security, and found our gate.

    Such a bummer.

    Which line would you get in if you were about to depart for a cross-county flight and hadn’t had a coffee yet?

    Only about an hour and half northwest of Cape Ann, Liv, Matt and Alex had a great time hiking at Pawtuckaway State Park yesterday. Located in southeastern New Hampshire, the park is named for Pawtuckaway Lake and Pawtuckaway Mountains, which are a circular rocky range that form the outline of an ancient volcanic ring dike dating from the Cretaceaous era.
