BBQ Fever

We’ve been on a BBQ kick lately! We go through phases of types & cultures of food. For the last couple weeks, Oskar’s been perfecting his smoke rings & flavors on delicious BBQ meats like Brisket & Ribs — YUM!
He’s been getting up at 4:00 AM every Sunday to get these tasty meats on the grill for a “low & slow” cook that makes them tender, juicy, & their bark is DELICIOUS. These meals take about 10 hours to prepare! He must like doing that, because I wouldn’t commit that hard!

BRISKET

Last week, he made an ENORMOUS brisket that we ordered online from Sam’s Club. It was listed with a “price varies” label in the product description due to cuts of meat being different sizes, depending on the size of the animal. It ended up being an OVER 26-LB. BRISKET. What?! Keep in mind - they’re usually ~17 pounds. Watch this hilarious video of the brisket's preparation:

Oskar also made collard greens & of course, mac & cheese with cauliflower - delicious! He even made home-made BBQ sauce because everyone in my family hates sugary sweet BBQ sauce. His is more savory, with a tomato paste base instead of a ketchup base.

RIBS

Oskar got up yet again at 4:00 AM, like I said, to make ribs on Sunday. He prepped & prepped & prepped. They ended up so incredibly delicious. WOW! Oskar & I definitely needs to open a restaurant someday. I'll run the marketing, he'll create the menu, & we'll both manufacture the atmosphere!
​
We picked up some butcher paper at BBQ Pit Stop in Murray. The manager there, Parker, was so very nice to us & answered all of Oskar's burning questions. We'll definitely be going back to that awesome place!

Listen! You can hear the meat crackling in the butcher paper!

My mom made her famous "Orange Salad"! She & Oskar cook together all the time. She calls herself his sous chef. It's so nice to have in-laws actually like each other. We realize that's a rarity!
Oskar also made Potato Salad, but with cauliflower. It was delicious, as is everything he makes! Try not to drool looking at the pictures!

Feast your eyes on this delectable meal!!!
The ribs & their side dishes have fed us multiple meals already.

Oskar looks up recipes on YouTube for every meal. You can, too! You can learn just about anything on YouTube these days. Happy eating!
