Nice barbecue. Especially the breading.
Pet Peeve: I can't stand when people hold meat in their hand for any
length of time; massaging it, pointing out things that we all know
anyway. Put it on the cutting board and point to the features that
you wish to point out please. No need to allow all kinds of flippin'
disease to transfer from human to meat.

The Weber Smokey Mountain arrived today, to replace the old Meco bullet
smoker. The Meko is a hunk of junk.
After a cerebrally traumatic assembly, the first Trader Joe's 100%
Hardwood[bound with cornstarch!] went in with some mesquite.It fired right
up to 225F and the ribs went in. At 1 hour the temp. is holding. The world
is taking on a whole new meaning. Next time it will be the required lump.

Outside of what charcoal to use, I imagine that the biggest
question will be whether to use sand or water. <grin>

I've preferred a good martini in my own belly over any liquids in
a smoker. This could be an era coming to a close for me, though.
Several months ago, Mrs. Nonny and I were on a cruise to Alaska
and it was quite chilly. As I do in the winter, I ordered a
brandy to help heat things up. Mrs. Nonny did as well, along with
a friend. I won't bore you with details, but the brandy sparked a
taste-off of all the brandy brands on the bar's menu. We had the
bartender provide us with a shot of each one.

We discovered that there was one brand we really enjoyed and that
it was one of the less expensive ones. When we returned home, I
bought a bottle and we now are enjoying a snifter of brandy or two
every evening. It's displaced my martini and I've also found that
with the much stronger taste, that I drink a lesser amount while
enjoying it more.

The odd part is that it goes so well with barbecue.

I've been known to partake of the odd snifter myself.
Care to name the brand? Not that there's much chance our liquor
commission will stock it anyway.

Don't know about that, Ross - the LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario,
for those of you not in Ontario)) stocks just about anything you want to
name, or can special order it for you (if you live in a small community
with one of the smaller LCBO stores). Apparently, the LCBO is one of
the largest (if not the largest single) retailer of booze in the world.

Wow, now this will give us a new round of Kent-concerns on the legitimacy of
the website, authorship, and other assorted hysterical fears.

The best brandy we've come across, regardless of price. is St.
Remy VSOP (not to be confused with Remy Martin).
http://www.beveragewarehouse.com/sea...p?item_id=2724

Here in Henderson NV, a 1.75L bottle is $26. It's been compared
within the family, with neighbors and with guests here at the
house, against stuff costing as much as $200 for a 750mL and it
always wins.

Recently, the label was changed from "Napoleon" below the VSOP to
"Authentic." I have no clue as to why, but the UPC code, price
etc. are still the same. Most importantly, there's been no change
in the taste, either.

If you get some, I'd appreciate hearing whether you enjoy it as
much as we do here at the Nonnyhouse.

I'll do that Nonny. I enjoy a good brandy, but as with many
subjects, I don't know much about it. Fifty years ago, I was
kind of partial to Martell Five Star. I haven't seen that label
(five star) in many years.

Lee, I replied to another post asking about it before reading
yours. Just follow this thread and you'll see what I posted. The
brand, however, is St. Remy VSOP and we pay $26 for a 1.75l bottle
here in NV.

Nonny

thanks, i love a good brandy, not sure if your walmart carry adult beverages
but ours does, and they clear the shelves about once a month, i think i got
this once for half price around fifteen dollars, not quite sure if its the
same one but i seem to remember thhat name... very nice as i recall, will
put it on the list, will get it and try just to make sure you understand.

Surprise! I check the LCBO's (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) product
search page and St.-Remy is listed, 750ml @ $23.40, 1140ml @ $34.85,
and a 1750ml @ $52.40 (LCBO Tasting Note: Golden amber colour;
aromatic fruit with spicy oak tones; rich brandy flavour).
Also listed is St.-Remy XO Brandy, only one size, 750ml @ $28.30 (LCBO
Tasting Note: Medium-deep amber; peach, apple, pear and vanilla
aromas; dry, fruity flavours, woody finish.)
None of the above have the word Napoleon in the name.
There are two listings for St.-Remy Napoleon Brandy, both shown as
being in pre-wrapped gift boxes but, not in stock in any outlet in the
province. Perhaps closer to Christmas?
And, for those who aren't aware, the LCBO is operated by the
Government of Ontario and is the only place in the Province of Ontario
where liquor can be legally purchased.
I guess I have to buy at least two types to taste ;-)

Yes, a friend introduced me to the St. Remy.

I like it too--all too well. ;-)
