Ok it looks like I will not be firing up the smokers anytime soon
Since I took this picture…less than 20 minutes ago…it has dumped another inch and still coming down hard. Plus my charcoal is being swiped for snowman eyes!!!!
My mother came to town last week and we headed out to 12 Bones for a little lunch before she headed out shopping. This place is so good you have to get there as close to opening as you can or get stuck standing in line waiting for your food!
My mother got the pulled pork, Meredith the MLT (Smoked portabello mushroom, lettuce and fried green tomato).
Casper and yours truly ordered the HOGZILLA.
On that sub roll is pepper jack cheese, sugared bacon, pulled pork, and smoked sausage. How good is it you ask? Well in the time it took to take the two food pictures, Casper had eaten half of his already!
Jalapeño Rings!!! I thought I came up with something that no one had thought of before, until I did a search for them. Seems that several restaurants already serve them. A friend of mine tells me, every time I try to come up with something new “There is nothing new under the culinary sun”. I’m beginning to think he’s right. I used my favorite onion ring batter…straight from the box, them deep fried them at 375°. I like them with a little ranch dressing.
