Smokin' Mornin'

We are preparing for today's festivites. First thing this morning, Omid brought out his smoker.

The Traeger.

Mesquite pellets.

Omid & the prime rib.

The p.r. went on the smoker at 9:00 a.m. It needs all day to smoke. The turkey will be put in at noon. I am hoping....Omid will change his mind and want to roast the turkey in the oven. I am still moping about the Scotch dressing and wondering....is this a plot hatched by the 'sons-in-law? I am still thinking about that one.

Smoke Signals

Omid was a busy boy these last few days. When he wasn't playing dress up at Sportman's Warehouse, he was smoking fish.He made up a big ole' bowl of brine and marinated sturgeon, tuna and salmon.

Finished product.

Papa: Bring that bottle of Scotch you've been promising!

Neighborly Fun

We had a bbq with some of our neighbors this evening. Omid came home for lunch and gave Matty instructions for smoking 3 racks of ribs. Matty followed the instructions to the letter and the ribs were delicious!!

More movies & smokin' apple pie

Check out the bottom of the blog again. We took off the break dancing movie and added a 'can can' feature instead.
Enjoy!

Also, yesterday Omid met with some of his redneck "Traeger grill" friends. They talked of 'smokin' pies in their grills/smokers. He and I prepared an apple pie and Omid set it in the smoker. He 'smoked' it exactly the same as he would have in the oven. It turned out really good. When I brought the pie in from the garage, Nas & Matty were picking off the crust and eating it. It was soooo good, next we're thinking of smokin' a cherry pie. I guess rednecks are good for some things after all. :)
