YOU THINK WE HAVE IT BAD TODAY?


There's a lot of complaining going around these days, everything from politics to the economy. But when it comes to crime, like the rest, it's business as usual. This page from MAN'S LIFE (May 1969) shows the same things going on back then as they are now. Life goes on, brah.

HAPPY NATIONAL BBQ DAY!


Somehow it doesn't seem fair to celebrate National Burger Month and National BBQ Month in the same month. We should at least stretch out the festivities over more time. Well, anyway, today is officially National BBQ Day, so fire up that grill and make your favorite 'que.

Rubbed and ready for the grill.

Ahhhh . . . St. Louis ribs perfection!

Country ribs are a good alternative when you don't want to wait for a rack.
Note my vintage Homer Laughlin platter, a brand that was ubiquitous in restaurants
and diners back in the day.

Prepare to be slathered! My go-to sauce is usually Bull's Eye.
