Perhaps time to resurrect this thread? The herb garden is going great guns, so this weekend I made . . . Mint lemonade Basil lemonade (I'd never made basil lemonade before but I'll be doing it again. Great stuff.)

Old thread. I better get that busy again soon. Or maybe just shut up more! < self

Dave, not to avoid your specific questions, but . . . Have you checked here under the "Beef" section? There's a whole lot of good info on beef briskets & smoking. Of course, reply back if I've improperly deflected your questions.

Neither, rotate them every half hour to an hour. Mop after the first hour with a sauce without sugar and too much flavor, you don't want obscure the smokiness. I'm a big fan of mustard based vinaigrettes. I've found that tomato based sauces dramatically reduce the amount of smoke flavor present in the meat and this of course means that your ribs (or other meat for that matter) won't taste as good as they should. klink, is there any way that JP can change your eGullet name to "Meat Moses"? It's more fitting. Plus, bigbear could make you a cool avatar based on Chef's . . . clickity

hollywood, Does this help?

highly recommended if you're serving mai tais. I see that those big bonuses paid for some very smart (& essential) home improvements.

And a nice cold glass of Tavel for Lesley.

"They" went over pretty well? You mean the people drinking them? Like, tipped over? oh yeah. it was awesome dude. check out my friend jimmy at 5 PM Quite an industrial-style toilet you've there, tommy.

That was my idea.

Isn't Trader Vic one of the pioneers of this drink?

Pick up some of the fattest bacon that you can. Mince some & add to the ground turkey. Whilst making the patty, put either a tablespoon of unsalted butter or a couple of tablespoons of a good blue cheese in the center of the patty. Wrap the burgers as throughly as possible in remaining (non-minced) bacon strips. Grill.

Nero, let's get a case of PBR, sit in the backyard, & just ignore this thread. Dude, are you next door? Because that's what I'm just about to do. I wish. Gorgeous day & I think we'd be able to have a coherent & amicable discussion.

Heretic Interesting that he doesn't talk about that in his books.

Ahhhhhh. Well, welcome to eGullet. As far as Fairfield County, I've no idea. No experience.

About two months ago--when Comcast took over the local AT&T cable network--FoodTV disappeared from the basic service.

New Homeowner, All of your posts--3 at the moment--are the exact same post on three different threads. What's up with this?

Ahhhhhhhhhh! Great info. (Exposing my ignorance returns rich rewards.)

Yup. Got the lovage there. Also, hit Bos & picked up some stuff there. With all these great suggestions, I think I need another lovage plant. (Now I'm going to have my version of a Spencer Davis Group song in my head today, "Gimme Gimme Some Lovage." )

I'm going to give this a try as soon as the plant gets going--which should be soon given this weather! Thanks, Suzanne.

Just had to note the irony! Peace!
