“They took a fresh ring out for us. TripleB asked if they could slice it for us as we were sharing. The 🫏 on the block muttered “want me to eat it for ya, too?”[/QUOTE]
For dinner tonight we had leftover Burnt Bean green beans with our leftover chicken and dumplings from Cracker Barrel on Sunday.
With the MeatUp in the rear view mirror I say that the food was delicious but the fellowship with other Pit members made it an excellent weekend.
As I posted on our visit to Leroy and Lewis I really liked the Cauliflower Burnt Ends and wanted to try to imitate it. Well, today I made my first pass. I mixed 1/3 cup Aldi Carolina sauce, with 2 tablespoons of Aldi Bang Bang sauce and 1 teaspoon of corse ground black pepper. I ran out they Aldi, so I added 2 tablespoons of Trader Joe’s Carolina sauce which is more vinegary than Aldi’s. It was not the same but after eating one piece it made me want amount and another and… Leroy and Lewis’ version had some oil, was more saucy and less heat. I’ll keep working on it, but what I made is different kind of good.

Purc I see his cauliflower burnt end recipe is in the book. Will probably be a YT video at some point.
Couple years ago, L&L put a vid up on YT about how they smoke and sear their burgers. I adapted that to the Kettle and its become my go to. And the first vid Evan made two weeks ago, was their burgers on the Kettle. I was happy to see that.
Lynn Dollar and Purc L & L has a 15 minute video on YouTube on making Cauliflower burnt ends that they made four years ago. I think my BGE will be almost perfect for the direct smoking part.
I really enjoyed talking with you! Afterward, I thought a lot about it. I really appreciated some of the insightful questions you asked me; in a very short time, in an informal situation, without any tools or product in front of us, I feel like I learned a lot.
