What's cookin' boys?

[RCW]

Some grilled shrimp w/ slightly spicy homemade BBQ sauce in the works.

BBQ sauce is chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, lemon juice, EVOO, and Tabasco.

After all, it’s 33 degrees!

Getting ready for the grill.

With the olive oil, can make some pretty impressive flare-ups on the grill. We like them a little charred on the outside, but just done on the inside.

Done.

Braised oxtails and beef short ribs over red beans and rice. Nothing like leftovers.

Ok, going out on a limb... We bought a half a hog last year.... other than throwing them out; What to do with 4 pig's feet and it's tail???

Also have skin and pig fat so we'll try cracklins... although, not sure if there is a layer of fat under the skin...

If it is just the skin then you may be making pork rinds. Tasty but cracklins have some meat on them and usually go through a double frying. I’m not a NBC, only a RCA so hopefully we have a native that chimes in. For the feet, my mom used to cook them with salt and pepper like a soup stock till the meat fell off the bone. Then she would strip the meat and skin, finely dice it and in to a tourine to set up. All the cartilage would solidify and we’d slice it up for sandwiches. Bringing back my childhood there.

Only sold pickled ham hocks from the back bar in gallon jars

Never dealt with pigs feet.

Doubt I would throw them in with turkey stock. I love turkey noodle soup…..
