Dry Rub: Pitchers, Catchers and the smell of barbecue
http://midnightdiner.blogspot.com/2014/01/pitchers-catchers-and-smell-of-barbecue.html
Recollections and thoughts on life in Minnesota and the midwest. family, travels, the church, the state. Occasional ramblings about an old smoker and the quest for perfect barbecue. Pitchers, Catchers and the smell of barbecue. On this coldest date of the year, two observations. 1) I stepped off the bus this morning in -17 temps. Was hit by the smell of barbecue coming from who knows where and immediately felt 100 degrees warmer. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Victoria, Minnesota, United States.

Dry Rub: Seasons
http://midnightdiner.blogspot.com/2014/11/seasons.html
Recollections and thoughts on life in Minnesota and the midwest. family, travels, the church, the state. Occasional ramblings about an old smoker and the quest for perfect barbecue. We are getting ready for the first snow storm since last winter. The house is ready. The summer tools are all put away. Rakes, shovels, hoe, wheelbarrow and lawnmower are sound asleep in the shed. They'll hibernate until some day in April, perhaps March, they are called to duty again. It is 45 days until Christmas. Paper cups...

Dry Rub: February 2014

Recollections and thoughts on life in Minnesota and the midwest. family, travels, the church, the state. Occasional ramblings about an old smoker and the quest for perfect barbecue. I think this is a metaphor. Links to this post. This winter seems to be longer than normal, with more snow and cold. Don't know whether that's true, but seems that way. Perhaps as we age the more difficult weather days seem longer than they actually are. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Dry Rub: Spring finally
http://midnightdiner.blogspot.com/2014/05/spring-finally.html
Recollections and thoughts on life in Minnesota and the midwest. family, travels, the church, the state. Occasional ramblings about an old smoker and the quest for perfect barbecue. I don't know why it has taken so long for me to post to this blog. Try to put something here at least monthly. We have taken down six trees that were either in danger of falling over, or had outgrown their space. Now the challenge is to get grass and shrubs to grow where the trees once stood.

Dry Rub: Prayer for Lilly
http://midnightdiner.blogspot.com/2014/08/prayer-for-lilly.html
Recollections and thoughts on life in Minnesota and the midwest. family, travels, the church, the state. Occasional ramblings about an old smoker and the quest for perfect barbecue. I met you for the first time a few days ago. These are my prayers and thoughts for you. That you some day stand where I do, perhaps in the 2060's, and push back a tear over grey hair and hold your own grandchild. That you will some day kneel in prayer and thank God for your mom and your dad. May your laughs be long and hearty.

Dry Rub: With the last of her strength

Recollections and thoughts on life in Minnesota and the midwest. family, travels, the church, the state. Occasional ramblings about an old smoker and the quest for perfect barbecue. With the last of her strength. I have a new friend who has a terrible illness. A rare muscular disorder. Her body is falling apart but not her soul. She types out a message and asks that I send it as a text to her brother. A happy birthday wish. I do and see a bit of a smile on her face and tears on her cheeks. After this she...
