On Monday I was out shopping getting a few needed groceries. There was a display with some really nice looking Jalapeno peppers. Knowing the temperature on Tuesday was going to be 70° I picked up a few of the peppers and a couple packs of ribs. Yesterday I spent the time outside with 4 racks of ribs in the smoker along with the Jalapeno poppers my daughter prepared. They were wrapped with bacon and filled with a mixture of cream cheese and shredded 4 cheese Mexican blend. While watching the smoker I binge watched Star Wars IV, V, and VI. The ribs turned out wonderful with the meat falling off the bone and the poppers were excellent. I used my Food Saver to package up 3 of racks for the freezer. I always trim the ribs and while they are smoking, I also smoke the trimmings. Of course, the bits and pieces get finished well before the ribs. I have to sample the bits and pieces, so when everything is done I am not all that hungry. The ribs will be heated up for tonight's dinner along with a couple of the poppers. I love the leftovers, nothing goes to waste.
oh that sounds good enough to just about walk to OK for! Enjoy! and uhmmm........I didn't git my invite either!
RIP Mary Tyler Moore.
that makes me so sad. I always loved her show and adore the dick van .... show. I'm so glad that Valerie Harper is still going strong, and has come
through all she has, but some years back no one would have thought that she would outlive Mary. Just goes to show no matter what health crises you face, and no matter how dire it seems, it is never ever hopeless!! I was watching something the other day that Carol Burnett voiced a character in, and was wondering how long we'd have her. I hope for a good long time to come.

Ain't that the truth. Around here, if'n you ain't the jokER, you may just end up the jokEE...

Man this mumps is a big thing here. It went from 80 confirmed cases to 90 just while the news was on. Some people are up in arms about their kids not being allowed in school for a month. They signed a form allowing it so they could keep from immunizing their kids.
Wow, I haven't seen much news for a very long time. Didn't realize y'all were having a mumps outbreak. Between that and the ice and snow, great time for you and yur new ankles to hibernate for awhile!
Care packages from home are always best when shared with friends.
JUP! When my son was deployed, I'd found a snack bar at walmart. 10 in a box for 1.00 sent him a box. He loved them and said he could eat 100 of em. So I sent him 100 of em! He was wrong. He and his friends together couldn't eat that many of em.

There were still a few in one of his tuff boxes when it arrived home.
