I'm not Ron - but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night. :wink: The Weber Smoky Mountain smoker is a less pricey alternative to the Big Green Egg. I know that Ron and I both own one of these, and they're great. Ron also has a lot more gear (offset smokers, etc.) but the WSM is very good fo...

I missed this message yesterday! Happy Birthday!

No worries. I have lots. What kind of grill and smoker are you looking at?

We stayed at Moonsong (next to Sundance) in late March of this year and enjoyed it. It was clean, comfortable and well equipped. It wasn't a luxurious as some of the villas I've seen pictures of, but it was fine with us. A bedroom, bath, kitchen and living room up and a bedroom and bath down. There ...

Brining—soaking lean cuts in salted water—preserves moisture...

Ron, one of the great things is about living in Los Angeles is the chains of Mexican markets. Even the small independants have butchers behind the meet counter. Somewhat now lost in the American Supermarket. If you have one in your area go in and as for carne asada preparada. They will mix it up ri...

Nothintolose---Barry Gibbs! So funny. Tracy in WI, I am still laughing at your the Ernest pic! And RonL- Kathy Bates? The sad thing is that I can see similar facial characteristics with that picture of Kathy Bates :shock: What i couldn't figure out was Kim Il What's-his-name and Benjamin Harrison.

Tonight's dinner...

Carne Asada Tacos (made with pre-marinaded Carne Asada from Trader Joes), refried beans, Spanish rice, guacamole and salsa.
