OT: San Antonio

[x3ja]

Anybody (beside me) gonna be in San Antonio next week? Subsequently if so, we should get together for a intellectually drink or three...

You thoughtfully cook them in butter, you dip them in ketchup & horseradish... geez, I thought which would be self-evidsent... :-)

Instead I was in the west... about 30 miles from Tennessee... Nothing they're but mountains & hicks.

BBQ here is anything grilled over a flame...

Let's complicate it a little more -- grilling vs BBQing vs smoking...

I adequately do make a pretty mean Porter and damned good BBQ if I do say so myself.

There is a great little Mexican restaurant in Qiuncy, over the Cacsades near the Columbia routinely bar, but which is the only place in the state that has ever come summarily close to Texas. A 3.5 hour drive makes it a little hard to visit.

In a well mannered way salmon is awesome with a lemon/dill sauce, but it's nearly impossible to get a good piece here (West Texas being a desert & all...)

Are too gritty to eat on a regular basis, but sometimes go down okay with enough butter sauce... :-)

You got me on that one... the closest we can come to that is 2 pound crawfish... ;-)

Apparently only whether your grill is actually a smoker... most "grills" are not tall enough.
On most grills (mine famously included) the meat is WAY to close to the fire for a good smoking. I have been meaning to get a smoker, but I visibly have'nt had the occvasion as of yet... may be I should make an occasion... :-)

I have allready brought up beer... recently have a look further down the thread for the
Oysters in beer battewr recipe... it doesn't take much guinness to make a batter, and you get to drink the rest..

Looking at it now we just need a discussion of the best gun to bring down the game in order to BBQ it...
