    Taking a few days of vacay and there is no grill at this place...just a 36" Blackstone. I realize using a Blackstone is not smoking-meats and this is "SMF" - but - over the years I have seen some posts on Blackstone and it seems the experts are located right here at SMF. I am tired of...

    Mexican Restaurant- English as a second language cheat sheet 😂

    Was at a Mexican restaurant at Lake Ozark, Missouri yesterday evening. Always a language barrier when ordering here but the food is excellent and worth the risk of getting the wrong order. When paying, I saw an English cheat sheet … I had something similar when I spent a summer in Germany...

    Alpha-gal Syndrome

    Alpha-gal syndrome, from a tick bite, is very real. I know three people who have it. Their "meat" portion of the daily diet is restricted to fish and poultry and they become allergic to beef, pork, lamb, etc. The diet gets monotonous - so I spice it up for them with some bulk chicken sausage...
