Except for THIS!!!

Outside of Skyline Chili, and Proctor&Gamble goods, the finest product to come out of Cincinnati! Great, great sauce (if you want a tomato-based product).

Just an aside, (get?  a side??) that shrimp and cucumber salad was even better the second day.  Since the recipe was given verbally, I don't have amounts but here it is:

Slice a cucumber thinly (I used english, and only about half) into a bowl

Add chopped green onions and celery and cold cooked shrimp. 

Toss with ranch dressing to taste (I used creamy cucumber)

Yummy and easy, and nice with a steak!  And as I say-next time I will make it the day before.

i know it sounds odd, but there is a GREAT southern living recipe (if i can find it ill post it later) for coleslaw with mustard. i know it sounds odd, but it is super super tasty!

the add to the baerbeque cultural thing, i know everyone jokes about australia's "barbie" but when i lived there, i seriously thought they were barbequing dolls! it took about 2 years before i realized that the barbie WAS the barbeque!

it's not so bad.

**before you get mad at someone, walk a mile in their shoes. Because then you will be a mile away, and you will have their shoes**

Y'all are playing my song!!  The  top pic that moneypenny  posted  is the  way most  places  around  here  serve  barbecue......butcher paper  IS  the  good china  lol.  I  live in Central Texas  where  bbq  is legend and even the  bad  bbq is  great. I never  make bbq at home, since it so much easier to go out  and pick some up.  It's all  in the  sauce for me....I like  a  sweet,  smokey, thick sauce that  isnt  too hot.  Don't know  why,  but  in the 1980s , someone  decided that  bbq and  chili had to be  hot ...as in burn your tastebuds off  hot  ...to be good.  So wrong on so many levels  that  one.

One thing I tried year ago tho that worked pretty  good....I  was  grilling chicken breasts  and didnt want them to dry  out  before they were cooked thru and I basted them with  the juice  from  a  jar of  sweet pickles.....watermelon rind pickles actually.  They turned out  moist and  it gave them a great  flavor.

Finally had the time (and the weather!) to break out the grill for the first time this season.  Oh, yum!  Barbecued pork steaks...gotta be the inaugural meal of every grilling season!

Question, as it came up at dinner: Are pork steaks a strictly midwest thing?  I seem to recall hearing that this is about the only place they seem to be popular...

Come on, now. Let's lock the world outside! Hang your jacket from the door...grab a chair and raise a jar!

Had pork sirloin steaks last night!  My husband put the first piece in his mouth and just sort of closed his eyes and totally relaxed.  When he finally swallowed, he said "I FORGOT how good pork is on the barbeque!"

 Sounds good  

Sharneliz, have you ever found that if you use too much onion or celery that it affects the taste of the salad as a whole because shrimp on its own has such a delicate flavor?  I guess I am thinking back to bad memories of shrimp or lobster salad sandwiches where too much onion or celery was used and the salad tasted like one or the other. 

Ah, an ongoing bone of contention between the DH and myself.  I tend to go skimpy on the onions and celery, for just that reason.  Himself goes WAY overboard, and all I can taste is onion.  I think I will print your post off and stick it to the refrigerator door with a magnet!!

Sharn, just make him his own serving of onion-n-celery salad, and keep the shrimp for yourself!  Seriously, when I was a kid, I revolted against the "padding out" of expensive ingredients and often requested them separate of the filler.  Got it sometimes, too, since I had such a ravenous appetite I'd happily gobble the cheapie stuff as well.

I have nothing relevant to say here, and this is the first time I've ever posted in the Food forum, but I read 'BBQ' and just had to think of Famous Dave's.  My favorite dish there is the barbecued salmon.

Barbecued Salmon at Famous Daves = Delicious^1,000,000

All's I know is, I know what kind of food they serve in Heaven! (where the servers are scantily clad Shantymen, you are seated by Alan clones in leather pants and the night's entertainment is always "Naked Accordion Player's February Edition Presents...")

Oh, jeez... bad time to be thinking about Famous Dave's and Naked Bob when my stomach is already growling something fierce...

Dang!  Well, I haven't killed anybody yet, and I'm pretty good about not coveting my neighbor's wife... the ass, however...

Never heard of pork steaks here (not that I'd eat 'em!)

We finally had some real spring weather, so grillled up burgers on Friday night and Texas BBQ steaktips on Saturday.

First time I did steak tips for my wife (who's from the Ottawa area) she had never heard of them.

I love ribs!  I boil them, the longer the better, coat them in bbq sauce, and while they are still steamin'  hot, broil them till sizzlin'!  mmm mmm good

I can't eat them the next day tho, just don't taste the same, even if reheated.

Nothing like succulent fall of the bone ribs!
