This year’s Labor Day started early for me. I had to get up at 5:15 am to get things loaded into the car to head to downtown Cincinnati. I was asked to do another segment on Fox 19 Morning News … Continue reading

October’s almost gone
Here I am at the end of October. This is the month I tell people shows why Ohio is a great place to live… The fall colors are great! Living in the woods means I get to see a lot of color, and this year is one of the best recent years to do some leaf viewing.
October is also really busy for us. It’s great weather to be out, so we do a lot. Every weekend seems to fill up, almost too much. Luckily, we have a couple of weekends to relax between now and the holidays starting. It’s also been a tough October for me, with Woody gone. He always liked the turn in weather, and I just have great memories of spending time with him at this time of the year. If anyone reading this has a dog, especially a lab, make sure to spoil them a little extra for me this week! Continue reading
“Feasting On Asphalt” Review
I’m now going to do what half the food bloggers in the US are also doing this weekend: reviewing Alton Brown’s latest short-series endeavor, “Feasting on Asphalt”. The reason everyone’s doing this is simple – The final episode aired over the weekend. I just had the chance to watch it on Tivo the other day, and I wanted to get my judging thoughts out before I had no more thoughts of any sort. Continue reading
The week of August 14, 2006
This week in blogging… Great start, huh? I thought I’d do a blog preview of the week, to keep me focused and hopefully keep my readers’ interest!
Carnbbq First off, I submitted my tomato pie entry to “Carnival of the Recipes – The BBQ Edition”, and it got included! This is a feature that can be hosted by just about anyone, but pulls together a topic of recipes. The tomato pie is included in the side dish part of the entry. I’ve submitted another entry for an upcoming “Carnival of the Grill”; if it makes it, I’ll post about that, too.
Later this week, I’ll have some info on salmon. I have generally cedar-planked salmon recently, but I hot smoked some really great salmon, and I’ll talk about salmon in general for outdoor cooking.
I’ll also have my next installment of updates on how I’m doing diet-wise. Already, I’m noticing a difference in how my pants are fitting!
And I’m preparing for my first judging experience at a KCBS event. My wife and I will be going to Madison, IN, this Friday to judge Saturday. The only thing that will change that is whether I can leave my dog overnight… Woody’s having some issues, and I have to be comfortable leaving him with a friend that will come over to watch him. We’ll see how he’s doing later in the week before I make up my mind. Continue reading
