67 V.W. VAN
Joe M. and myself headed to Evansville, Indiana for the weekend to visit a good friend who has a health issue. He is progressing well and we are all praying for the best.
On the way, we visited my nephew in Louisville Kentucky. It was great to get together with him and his family. A thing, we all, should all do more often.
Eric and Tracy's 13 year old boy Ethan is turning into quite the outdoors-men.
I have to get him to camp.
The weekend was very enjoying to spend with friends and family and I am elated by the progress my friend is making.
After visiting Jim F. on Friday evening he and Bob W. took us on a good 2 mile hike to there deer hunting grounds. I can see why they are so successful. Soy bean and corn fields are numerous, and the thick cover makes for prime hunting opportunities.
Doug and Brenda A. graciously put up with us and provided great hospitality.
Thank you very much. They are great friends.
PARTY TONIGHT
Saturday evening Doug and his wife Brenda had group of people over for an evening feast.
I'm sure none of us will forget the spread that was laid out before us.
Smoked chicken breasts, Ribs, Deer Chile, and a variety of Italian Oven Pizzas, countless delicious deserts, White Lighting soaked cherries and many other liquids of cheer.
A great time was had by all and I thank them for all they did.
THE LAST STEP
These ribs, without a doubt, were the finest ribs I have ever consumed.
All other ribs I eat will be judged against these.
No sauce required. There flavor and texture stands alone.
A semi dry rub was used before smoking them for 4 hours using pecan and other wood smoke, then wrapped in foil and cooked for another hour and a half.
I know some rib wizardry must have been involved also.
ITALIAN OVEN
2 years ago, Doug constructed an original Italian Oven.
After many hours of research and planning, he came up with this design of an oven that was popular in Italy during W.W.II.
He used records of American G.Is. that fought in Italy and used these ovens to cook up a hot meal when they had the opportunity.
There is alot more history to this style of oven and I wish I could tell you more.
YUMMM, PIZZA
This pizza oven is amazing. In the time it takes you to whip up the ingredients for a pizza, the previous one is done to perfection.
All in about 4 minutes.
