September is National
Rice Month. You may have already celebrated that 100 times already this month.
This is where we grow it and love it. What do you think they might be doing
about it in South Carolina? Make a chicken bog. Never heard of that? Me either
and the book with the recipe explains it is relatively unheard of outside of
the Carolina region. They call it kind of a gumbo but the thickness makes me
think of kind of a jambalaya. Get the book and you can make it and tweak it to
your heart’s desire.
The
book is Smoked: One Man's Journey to Find Incredible Recipes, Standout
Pitmasters and the Stories Behind Them.” Ed Randolph, owner of Handsome Devil
Barbecue took on this task. Are you kidding me? This book could be torture to
read if you were hungry or could serve as a heavenly travel wish list because
you’ll want to go to all the places mentioned. Texas sites include Truth
Barbecue in Brenham. Are the cows happy about this place? Salt Lick Barbecue in
Driftwood it's a place I've had the good fortune to try and love. Black’s
Barbecue in Lockhart tells how they do giant beef ribs. How about that with some creamed corn?
Hardcore Carnivore in Austin deals with Texas smoked tri-tip steak in a deep
mahogany color. Leroy and Lewis Barbecue in Austin has Smoked Confit Beef
Cheeks. I don't want to see that I get made but I sure want to eat it. And they
share a cucumber salad marinated in rice vinegar with sambal. Lockhart Smokehouse
in Dallas does smoked lamb chops and puts blue cheese in the cole slaw. The
author managed to go from California to New York so you can eat all the way
across the country. Be sure to enjoy the rice along the way.
Are
you a Hueligan?
What
do you have in common with people in 80 countries who want to be healthy?
Maybe
you never heard Huel, said to be the fastest growing nutrition brand in the world, that has sold over 50 million
meals in 80 countries. The bottle is attractive and the people drinking it
in the advertisements are beautiful. So what if I cracked a joke that was like
a famous meal drink for much older people. This stuff, especially chocolate,
has my attention. I gave a sample bottle to someone and he ended up buying a
case of it in a day’s time. Get it in bottles or get it in powder to save more
dollars. Your biggest question maybe why is it called Huel. That's a funny
name. It stands for human fuel. See what they did there?
So
what if you're not a straight up drinker? Just like I would do, people get all
gourmet and cook with that stuff. I mixed it with egg and made a nice French
toast. Lovers of this product pice it up with cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice.
Why here is your perfect opportunity for a annual pumpkin updates. Add pumpkin spice into
some vanilla Huel.
Here
is more on Huel. You already know if you are into this kind of thing:
