Homemade Pineapple Sorbet

I added a handful of fresh picked blueberries. It was a nice refreshing dessert. I just used a 20 oz can of pineapple, fresh squeezed lime juice and a small amount of sugar. I have one of those small ice cream makers that does about a quart. It's perfect for the 2 of us.




I'm firing up the smoker on Friday. I have some family in town and the lady is having some of her family over so I get to cook for a bunch of heathens. The ladies family never fails to show up if they hear I'm cooking something so it's going to be a madhouse for a few hours. They're simple people without much education. It irks me that they never bring anything. Not even something to drink, a pack of cookies, etc.... So we provide everything and I put out quite a spread of chips, veggies, etc... to snack on which they descend on like a pack of rats. I make a plate for myself and put the food out buffet style and then retreat to my man cave while they do their thing. Then several of them are all waiting for me to break out some weed so I'll set out a jar and they do a nonstop smokefest for an hour or two. And they never say thanks. I just don't think they know any better so I don't say anything to the lady about it. She knows what's going on but it's better that I say nothing. The key to maintaining a happy relationship is knowing when to keep your mouth shut.

In contrast when my friends or family come over they're bringing wine, beer, liquor, desserts, etc...

17 lbs of pork butt and 8 lbs of ribs. I had to get baby backs as they didn't have any of the St Louis cut which I think makes a better product. I'll probably only do half the butt.

i did a rack of st louis last nite. and some collard greens

anyone care to recommend a set of cooking pans? I am talking about the normal everyday kitchen set like omelettes and stuff on the cooktop. we have just used cheap old Teflon for years but looking to upgrade in the next few months.
