The last time I flew to PDX, Southwest handed out these amazing pretzel twists. I forgot about them for a while but then remembered and did some research. I found out that my local "Sprouts Market" stocks them. I love to have a beer and pretzels after a hard days work. These are my favorite...

It was a rough week at work. Today I got home and lit a nice lump charcoal fire. Whipped up some some hamburgers from a pound and a half of 80/20 chuck that I picked up from the butcher. Made some green chile cheeseburgers with all the fixins, rosemary oven fries, spinach and cranberry salad...

Yes, the dust storms this year have been bad. Lots of warnings for people with respiratory issues. I'm hoping this latest soak keeps that mess down for a while.

I have no idea how much rain/snow we got today. It was pretty substantial for New Mexico though. We needed it so I'm not complaining. That's why I always have a backup plan.

The plan was to smoke a slab of St. Louis pork ribs today. But the weather is not cooperating. I'm looking out the window as I type this and its snowing pretty hard and its cold. That's OK, I have a plan B. Dry rub. Cook in a 275-degree oven for 3 hours. Wrap them in foil with butter, brown...
