I found my leather notebook I got when I was 14 years old. It was looking a little dry so I conditioned it today I may need to do another pass on it in a couple of weeks again. Hard to believe this is 29 years old now.

On it

Even though I’ve cooked on a grill or smoker for nearly 2 decades I still don’t always get it right. I cooked these kebabs the other day and questioned if I should post them. Even though these weren’t a solid win they weren’t necessarily a fail either. Good flavor but I could have done better.

I know him! Just as hot in person too

100%

Been there!

Since we have limited characters to post in here I took a screenshot of my instagram story. We are in unprecedented times here, protesting is still needed but we gotta start thinking outside the box. Our old strategies aren’t gonna just cut it & not just one thing works, we must think more broadly

If you’re new here & are just following me, know I post a lot about what I cook, metal health stuff & I am very anti-fascist. If you’re offended by a person with bold takes & can change their opinion when presented with facts…this may not be the account for you, so please move along. With that said…

Probably one of the best Christmas songs ever IMO

Hey boys! 😍

Matt!!!

My literal nightmare and I’m shocked it hasn’t happened to me yet. lol.

Hope y’all had a great Tuesday!

2016 vs 2026
My hubs ages like a fine wine and the pandemic did a number on me. lol.

Face masks and cooking tortilla soup. lol. Man I know how to do a birthday…I’m so boring. 🤦🏼‍♂️ lol

Sounds delicious! I’ll have to try that next year.

I’m not fucking around this year! I learned my lesson from 2025!

We absolutely love this show. Watch it a little every night

Christmas 2025 is in the books.

100%

We didn’t have anyone between us on the return flight either. It was great.

He’s a sweet, sweet kid and deserves our protection. Most of them are twinkish anyway. lol. I do love seeing how paternal the more senior drivers are to him.

Off to Vegas for a quick 48 hour trip.

Let’s go Tuesday!

Needed to trim up a bit. Was looking haggard.

It can be. You gotta put the cheese in vacuum sealed bags because as you pull the cheese off the smoker it’ll be too smoky to eat immediately so it needs to have time to settle and allow the smoke to seep deeper.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 atta boy!

Is this homemade?

I add the cheese to the grill and let it smoke for one hour. I flip all the bricks and let it smoke for another hour. I pull them and let them sit on the counter for about an hour to let them sweat their oils. I pat them dry & place them in vacuum sealed bags for at least 2 weeks before consuming.

Thanks Matt! ♥️
