Spread with leftovers from dinner last night.

I was right in the middle of pulling one myself.

I did read beans and rice for lunch today......Blackeye peas are traditional New Years dinner here, I'm not fond of Blackeye peas, so Red beans instead.

Some lovely beef ribs after 2 hours in the smoker and a good rest. The rub I made blackened, but they were juicy and delicious. I've been smoking with hickory lately, it certainly imparts a unique flavour. As good as it was, I prefer fruit wood for beef.

Straps....Ever tried Mesquite? Don't know if it's available that far North.

Yep, I've got quite a bit of it actually. I mainly save it for a nice brisket, other than that I just find it a bit overpowering. Woods like apple, cheery, pecan and alder offer a lighter smoke flavour, but also add in that touch of sweetness.

Don't get me wrong, I love a good mesquite smoke, but save that for when smoke is the main attraction.

Company for dinner, this was my humble attempt at sushi/teppanyaki. Not the prettiest, but it was delicious.

That looks epic KC. I'm making sushi for dinner too but just for wifey and I so will be nowhere near as impressive! I'll post later.
