Real simple here today; pulled pork shoulder (they're sweating under wrap right now), beans, corn-o-cob, salad. Tomorrow is leftovers day; yesterday's El Pollo Loco-style chicken (spatchcocked a couple of hens, soaked 'em overnight in a marinade of pineapple + lime juice with crushed garlic, minced chiles and so on), roasted them until the skin browned using mesquite and today's oak-fired pullin's. > And, before I forget - Thanks Vets!!!!! Yes, indeed - thanks to all those that served, that serve now, and to the families of those that paid the highest price. Dana |

Later tonight I will fire up again, and put on a couple of 8# butts, to be ready tomorrow. Sides will include grilled sausages, potato salad, beans, cole slaw, salsa, guacamole, homemade tortillas, and whatever the friends bring. >And, before I forget - Thanks Vets!!!! It is tradition at my house that we doff our caps, quiet the children/dogs, bow our heads, and observe a minute of silence in respect for those who served and payed the ultimate price. For those of you in this group who served, you have my gratitude and my respect. Thank you. Jim. |

My grill has a smoker box and an infrared rotisserie burner. I cut up some apple wood for the smoker box and turned on the burner for that. They I put a 14 pound turkey on the rotisserie. Made for a great combination with the flavor from the smoke and the crispy skin from the infrared. Very moist, very tasty. As a side, we had an unusual potato salad. Boil the whole potatoes, then cut up as you normally would. Cut up cooked Italian sausage and add. Dress with olive oil and Italian seasonings. Chill. It was very good.

The "oven" burner will get the chips smoking and the rotisseries is the main cooking heat source. I'd say the 14 pounds is about max. Very little clearance for t he bird to spin. Ed |

Veteran's Day on November 11 is for those of us that still > survive. You are correct. But honoring the living veterans is a way of honoring those that have passed. My grandfather was a Canadian Veteran of WW1. He was an illiterate, itinerant woodsman who was called to serve and did so with honor. An uncle I never met was a Korean War hero. He stifled a hand grenade to protect his comrades just before I was born. I was given his Christian name as my middle name. I have to go now. I can't stop the tears.

True enough, Bob. Memorial Day is set aside for us to remember and honor the fallen. But, it is never inappropiate for folks to show gratitude to those ( like you ) who served and came home. It just doesn't get said often enough. Both my grandfathers fought in WWI, my dad served in WWII and Korea. They were all lucky enough to come home. I called dad this morning to say thanks, unfortunately the grandads have long passed. And, of course, I will remember the surviving vets on Veteran's Day. Thanks again. Jim |

I can't stop the tears. > >Matthew The tears are painful, but they honor the memory of those who have sacrificed some or all. Unfortunately, too few of our countrymen understand the cost paid to gain and preserve our freedoms. I don't know if my father's father served. Mom's father suffered from polio, so I know he didn't. But none of my family ever talked much about it. I have learned that my dad fought in the Phillipines in WWII and his younger brother was in Korea. Both of mom's brothers were in the US Army in Europe for WWII. My father in law came back from that in a wheel chair. I met my wife between Vietnam tours, while we were both in the Navy, stationed in Hawaii. Two of my cousins also served in Vietnam. One of them still has shrapnel embedded so deep in his spine that it can not be removed. My youngest brother spent several years in the Army, mostly servicing tactical nukes in Germany. He was suddenly discharged after they discovered he had a thyroid problem, and died a couple of years ago. We suspect it was from radiation poisoning. One of my sons is currently at Ft. Bragg, trying to earn a green beret, so I guess it kinda runs in the family. My eyes are leaking too, Bob McConnell N2SPP Please remember that if you enjoy any freedom, it is because people just like you were willing to fight and die to earn that freedom. |

Interesting that they rarely talk about it. After knowing him for 35 years, my former co-worker and still golf buddy, Hugo DiLonardo, opened up to me about his brother Anthony, USMC, who died in the first wave to hit Iwo Jima. He has still never discussed his activities from North Africa up through Europe. I don't care, I love him. -- Intuitive insights from Nick, Retired in the San Fernando Valley http://operationiraqichildren.org/ |

He'd say, "I was a tour guide in Cambodia and Laos." Everyone I have ever met that had been in combat would not talk about it. Even after years of therapy, I have trouble discussing my experiences, even with my wife. But it is not just the pain and tears. This came up in a group discussion once, and the consensus was that the majority of people who have never seen combat do not have even a basic understanding of what we went through. So we would end up spending more time explaining what it was like and filling in the background details they don't know about than describing the actual events. It's easier when talking to someone with a full understanding of that background. As for my father and uncles, they never had an opportunity to deal with the PTSD, since it wasn't correctly identified until after Vietnam. I believe that the constant effort needed just to deal with their own memories and emotions didn't leave them either energy or reason to discuss the events which were the root of that problem. The men and women coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan all have the same issues. But it may be a while before they recognize it and become willing to accept help. Bob McConnell N2SPP |
