As I said I came home from work this morning and the drawing was conducted.
The Ingredients are:
Pork Tenderloin
Pine Nuts
Raisin's
You have 2 (Two) weeks to prepare a ONE dish meal containing ALL three ingredients. Remember that only 20% of the cooking can be done using a the house stove/oven. You have a fully stocked PANTRY at your disposal.
On Saturday May 2nd I will post a Iron Chef Picture turn in thread. You will have until Monday May 4th to submit your pictures of how you prepared your dish. At which time a poll will be added and the forum members will vote until Friday morning on who will be the winner!! GOOD LUCK!!
Hey TEABAG LADY!!!! You Listening? It's GAME ON!!!!!! ;D ;D

Whew!! Glad it wasn't oxtails. :)

Be careful!.... There's nothing more dangerous than a cornered tree!
:D :D :D :D :D ;D
Mike
Drop his pants or trunks?
Where's SD when you really need him?
No problem....his bark is worse than his bite ;D ;D
A question was brought up about the meat. It is the small Tenderloin it IS NOT the large loin that you would get Pork Chops or Canadian Bacon from.
Just to clear up any confusion.

The 3 ingredients can be combined with other things?
Smoked pork soup...? Please make that!!!! ;D It sounds...uh...really good....really...cough cough.... :)

Yes SS you have a full pantry to use whatever you desire. Or it could be as simple as grilling a piece of tenderloin and sprinkling raisins and pine nuts over the top. Another Idea I might try LQ.
AS A REMINDER FOR EVERYONE
Basic Iron Chef rules:
Be creative on your recipes.
It can be as simple as a new ABT or a recipe that would take a snooty waiter in a fancy-schmancy restaurant 10 minutes to describe.
At least 80% of the cook time must be done in the Bradley Smoker, grill or other cooking method. Up to 20% of the cook time can be done on the stove, oven,
grill or other cooking method. Wrong spot
Use any spices or pre-made BBQ sauces, or other goodies as you wish.
The recipe is not limited to just the 3 main ingredients. Your pantry is open and anything is fair game to be used in your recipe. As long as the meat and two other ingredients are in one dish. ie...one bite gets all three ingredients.
It can be breakfast, brunch, lunch, or supper, or midnight snack.

Now I am getting confused again. Does the rule now mean I can use a combined 80% of the cooking time using my Bradley and any other cooking method, except the oven and stove. Example, the Bradley may take 40% of the time, the other cooking method can take up to 40% of the time; and the oven and stove 20%?

Sorry about that Basically what it means is that Your supposed to avoid using the kitchen stove/oven as much as possible. Trying to Avoid hearing "I smoked for 30min put in oven for 3hours to finish while I made a sauce on the burner." What we want is the majority of the cooking to be in the Bradley and/or other outside cooking method.
For Everyone
DON'T READ INTO THE RULES TOO MUCH THIS IS MEANT TO BE SOMETHING FUN FOR EVERYONE!!!!
Sorry guys, I'm a late entry. This sounds like fun!
KyNola
Jan and I are SO gonna win this thing. Were I the rest of you, I wouldn't even bother to submit an entry.
Wait until you see the winning entry. You are not going to believe it.

Team KyNola,
i don't doubt what you say but just in case maybe you should post your recipe just to make
sure?????
or you could just pm me with it so it stays just between us. ;)
I'm so close to the "perfect dish"...these things take time my learned friends.....This is a conjuring process!!! ;D I am a conjurer from way back ya know!!!! :D :D :D
The change in that one rule was confusing. I'm getting a better understanding when you clarified the "other" as "other outdoor". The way it read any other method one could conclude that the use of electric frying pans, deep fryers, microwave, crock pots etc. were acceptable as part of the 80%.
Thanks for clearing that up.
I am bummed! I've got the absolutely guaranteed winning recipe but I don't have time to get it done since I'm leaving on Wednesday and won't be back until the contest is over. Oh well, congratulations to whoever was originally going to place second. Enjoy your (slightly tarnished) victory.
PS - I could possibly be bribed to part with the winning recipe but be advised - I am (notoriously) easy but I ain't cheap!

Ka Honu,

10.5....10.5...10.5....Oh my friend...so sad really...pasta eh?....or pasta soup?....uh...yeah....I mean sounds uh...good? ;D
You guys are scaring me!
i had a simple little pasta idea myself....guess i am gonna have to change it to sumpin else! ;D
Upinsmoke....do what you like....I toyed with a nice smoked meatball pasta dish and then veered in another direction...just takes me a little more time then you smart people!!!! :)

Hey TEABAG LADY!!!! You Listening? It's GAME ON!!!!!! ;D ;D
Hmm, so he baits LQ publicly but me privately...... I get this pm from 10.5 this afternoon asking if I have the puppy yet. I answer back yes, picked her up this morning about 1/2 way home.... she's perfect. I get another email saying that is good, he wants me distracted so I won't enter the Iron Chef contest.......... So I'm taking that as a challenge issued ;D
I spent 12 hours in a car today with a sleeping puppy & a husband that did 90% of the driving........ I had time to think about what to do with a pork tenderloin, raisins & pinenuts.............. :D :D It's all outlined in my phone!
And, the puppy is very perfect.... more later...............
:D :D :D The challenge is on!!!! 10.5....what have you done..... ;) One should not mess with Mothers' Nature...ya know in the old butter commercial...I think I remember lightning bolts??? ;D Maybe it was margerine? (Did I even spell that right?) No matter...you have offended the women Gods....Tea Bagtress and Puppy Godess....my...my...my...good luck with that!!! ;D
Pasta?...... ??? Pasta?..... ??? LQ LQ LQ, you can do better than that! Don't believe her guys, she's sandbagging.

Pasta? B*o*r*i*n*g.
Oh well, at least it's not tofu.
Egads, the things you miss when your 'puter is in the hospital. Got one of them nasties. A pox upon all those warts who think up things nasty to do to a computer. They need a life - a life at the end of a 45 or better yet at the end of a line tied around their pine nuts. (did I really say that?) I'd attribute the problem to Tea Bags, but I don't think that LQ would do that to sweet little ole me!
Pine nuts - love 'em. Pignolia - reminds me of times fishing among the pinyon pines of New Mexico. Oh, and do I have a recipe. It'll blow your mind. It'll make your tongue slap the tastbuds right outta yer head. Might as well just clear the table. None of ya'll stand a chance! Don't waste your time - just go ahead and send me the black towel. Pasta - smasta.

I aint afraid of no Chicks!!!! or was that Ghosts? Ducked the teabag but caught the "WhatFor" Momma had for me. Left the thread open she read it. I told her it was a Smack talking thread. "I hope they whoop your _ _ _ but Good!" was the reply.
To answer the question of whats a WhatFor. Remember when you was little sitting in church goofing off when Dads hand, which was conveniently placed behind your head, whopped you a good one. What did you say?
What was that For!!!! That's a WhatFor.

Still trying the jig jig jig pause method as well. I can be very versatile. :)

Do you have more details on the generator problem...
Will it advance pucks manually?
Does it try to advance every 20 minutes?
Is the burner plate getting hot?

I was gonna suggest that since most everyone did their Iron Chef meal over the weekend that we open the Turn in thread on Monday Morning. I won't do that since the Puppy Lady can't get her Apron strings tied!!! ;D ;D I can wait a week to show off and win with a Apple pie Pork Tenderloin Soup and Pasta!!!
Shouldn't be just to hard to beat LQ. You have to post pictures of your meal and I believe there is a post by LQ that says "the entire picture thing eludes me..."
Guess the Lady's have hung up their Aprons and have to watch the Boy's Play!!!! If You Can't Run With The BIG Dogs, You Better Stay On The Porch!!!!! Or was it You Cant Run With The BIG Dogs, If You Bark Like a Pup!!!!

I have heat, it just wasn't cycling the pucks. I cleaned it not that long ago but just took it apart and it was pretty dirty. I fixed the advance button that I knocked loose when I cleaned last time and worse case now is that I have to hit the advance button every 20 minutes since that is now working. Waiting 20 minutes now to see if it will advance the bucks itself. Woo hoo!!!!! just heard a puck drop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10.5 - Believe me when I tell you I am quite capable of tying my apron strings and doing many other things at the same time! ;D Also, don't you worry - LQ's pictures will be up - it was a momentary elusion (not sure this is a word) ;D

"Also, don't you worry - LQ's pictures will be up - it was a momentary elusion (not sure this is a word) ;D" Aw Just come out and say IT. Momentary Elusion = BLONDE Moment. LQ is having a BLONDE MOMENT. I do realize she resembles that remark!!! :P ;D

We'll still be your friends...don't worry... :D :D :D

I have a wife and 4 kids, a dog, a cat, and a fish living in a 2100 SF ranch house. The NUTHOUSE would be a VACATION. I'm just so glad that LQ thinks enough of me to suggest a vacation.
WOW, never mind!
It would appear that the stakes just got raised in this little contest of ours. Not only will the winner receive a Bradley Smoker Bar Towel from Myself. The Head Office has informed me that Bradley will also send a 120 count Box of Bisquettes, Your Choice of Flavor, to the winner!!
You know what boys and girls? We have some folks out there who have not said a word the whole time. Some folks who have been very well schooled and trained. I'm thinking they are out there just laying in the weeds waitiing to drop a major bomb on our collective smack talking butts and I don't mean pork butts.
However, having said all that I have never made the dish I will be posting nor did I make it last weekend to test drive it so it's all or nothing.
ARE YOU READY TO PLAY THE GAME?!

I'm with you Larry. There is quiet a few folks laying in the weeds waiting for an ambush. I also have never made my recipe before last Friday night. I'm going for the One shot One Kill. Might even Hang the trophy on the wall in my office!! Saves on shipping costs that way!!!
I'm not even starting until tomorrow.... ;D (That way if my idea comes out like crap...I have time to recover) :D I have vetted this recipe with many friends... I pray I'm good!!! Otherwise I'm hosed....but what the hell...this is really fun...the whole thing is great!!! I was thinking about starting one of these with tripe....think it would go over well?

Yeh, I think 10.5 wimped out by not putting barbacoa, calf or lamb fries, tripa, kidneys, tongue, sweetbreads, and those southern standbys - chitlin's on the list. Now that would make for some interesting competition - kinda like the "original" Iron Chef with their use of fish eyeballs and fish guts and no telling what else!
GAME ON!

I would have been more than willing to add Rocky Mountain Oysters and all those other ingredients but Had to make it available to everyone.
Game day shape Caney where 6 pack abs aint in the picture? Must be working on the 1 pack KEG ab then!! Working on one of them myself. Let's see I think the saying is "I'm in SHAPE, Round is a Shape!!"
I prefer the more PC term 'thick' as in "I'm in shape - thick is a shape!" It would be a multi-use adjective - thick shaped and thick headed!
DD&D had the calf fry episode on last night - late, late, late. I was watching it while trying not to cough my lungs out. Kinda glad chitlin's weren't included. I'm imaginative and creative, but not too sure what I could do with chitlin's, avocado, chocolate!

Hey...I'm from the south...well...kinda...but I know southern fare from Florida...
Hope you ladies have you rapron stings all tied up and ready. Turn in is Saturday morning. None of the Puppy ate it excuses either. Saffron aint big enough to reach to counter yet. Maybe next week she will but not this week. And there's no Cali Wild fires being reported so LQ musta wimped out trying to compete cause she hasn't figured out how to post pics yet.
Did you say turn in pics were Saturday? Oh...is it Thursday? Never mind....and as I remember the rules... that goes thru Sunday as well? Don't you worry about me...I did a dry run last night...I'm not at all afraid....I have friends that are gonna help me with the pictures...
10.5....go in the corner of your closet and suck your thumb...you're a gone burger.... ;D
10.5 I figured you were quiet the last few days because you were lost in your pantry looking for a new idea, because you realized that your entry doesn't have a chance. Like LQ says ...... your a gone burger............ ;D
My apron strings are untied & I'm having fun playing with the puppy, entry is all ready to post, pictures are already uploaded to photobucket! :D :D
And for the record the puppy would have eaten it, it's that good! ;D ;D ;D
10.5,
You just had to go and poke that bear with a stick again didn't you? :D
My entry will most likely be prepared tomorrow although it is supposed to rain all day Saturday and Sunday here.
I'm really sorry Smoking Duck is apparently unable to get in on this. He would love the competition but he would really love slapping LQ around a little bit. ;D He probably wouldn't slap Deb around since she is the mother of one of his pups.

That and Deb knows exactly where he lives. So she could hunt him down. You and I are fairly safe. Besides it isn't really like poking a bear more like that old coon dog laying on the porch, just raises his head and looks around then goes back to sleep. Heck LQ is still doing dry runs hasn't even started cooking yet. She will get behind and get all flustered trying to rush things goof it up, forget the battery in the camera. Gonna take her 3 days to figure out how to upload and post the pictures. Contest will be over by then NO WORRIES about her. The Puppy Lady even admitted hers wasn't as good as DOG food but Saffron would have ate it. We have NO WORRIES Larry!!!!

See Larry, Dem Ladies can't be trusted. The Puppy Lady tried stealing my Chutney Idea and using it for her own. Puppy Lady Cheated Puppy Lady Cheated!!!!!! :D ;D :D ;D
Damn I'm glad I posted mine first so I could be the one to say that and NOT DEB!!!! ;D ;D ;D
Looks like I need a better camera, Mine doesnt give me clear pictures anymore.

Are you trying to infer that we finally came out of the closet? ???
Uh, since you have previously posted that your entry is already done and pics have been made, where are they or are 10.5 and I going to have to walk you through that part too? :D
Nice looking entry Deb! I like it almost as much as 10.5's but not as much as the winning entry that I just posted.

Good luck everyone. Jan and I had a great time planning and preparing the dish.

You guys had better watch out! Maggie & Monty are up in the doggie pix thread - LQ knows how to post pictures!
I'm humbled by Deb....the sisterhood is strong..... :D
You two must be sharing the same Apron and got the strings too tight.
Hey you girls need to get a hold of Mrs. SEEMORE. They BOTH made their own Iron Chef recipe. Since hers didn't turn out super perfect she don't wanna post it in the competition!! I think she's just Smarter than you two are, she knows when she's beat!!! If ya can't run with the BIG DOG's just STAY on the Porch!!!
10.5, QUIT BEING A PUNK WANNABE. LQ and Deb have it going on!
I will post mine, but I WANT FEEDBACK.
LQ and Deb, Girls RULE and boys DROOL.

I knew if I poked her hard enough she would get up and bark maybe even snarl a little. Glad to see your gonna post it Mrs. Seemore!! I didn't want you to go through all the effort and give up right at the end when you can see the finish line.
Who Might the Sleepers Be? I figure Hab's will pop in and post Monday morning about 4am, I believe I seen something about Icerat thinking on things. O'l Mr Mesquite was looking through a Tumble weed didn't think we was watching. Roadking was talking some Smack then went into hiding. Both of the Seemores have entries. That's 6 more for a total of 9. Lq has been online all day just to get two pictures of her dogs posted. It will take her a week to post the pics of her cook and type how she did it.
Too late my friend I am posted and done with your smack....look and drool dude.... ;D
LQ, YOU GO GIRL!!!
I have had to listen to 10.5 and Seemore today.....time to bombard these dudes with some estrogen!
You folks have some truly terrific looking food posted. This was my turn in.

The loin is wrapped up in the bacon weave.
The asparagus are those round green things stuffed with raisins and roasted pine nuts, then wrapped in bacon.
(http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q78/GizmoPhoto/Smoking409.jpg)
Ready for the smoker.
Ok, Ok,
So it is really a bacon explosion with sausage and hamburger, stuffed with smoked bacon, smoked jalapenos, 4 blend cheeses, Bad Byron's, and Bulls Eye, wrapped in the bacon weave. The ABTs were smoked jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese, bacon, and rub, wrapped in bacon then smoked and baked. This along with a bone in pork butt went to a house warming party last weekend.
This weekend I am doing 20 lbs of beef jerky. Son sent me a text message with his address (which I already have), along with a note that I could use the address to send some jerky if I had it. Hard to resist since it was his birthday as well. Fortunately my son-in-law and I were talking about going to Iowa Meat farms tomorrow for the Treager Show and I was mentioning I wasn't able to get a driver loaded on my new Vista 64 computer. He mentioned he had read on the web that some folks were having a problem with XP and switched the camera setting from PC Connection to Printer/PTP and voila, it worked. I guess I owe him the proceeds from the next Iron Chef challenge. Hard to beat the all you can eat Brazilian Steak House we feasted on Friday at lunch. 11 different types of meat cooked over open fire and as long as you keep the marker with the green side up, they keep bringing it. I had to use the winch on the truck to pry myself through the door of the restaurant when we finished.
Giz for a second there I thought you was gonna venture over to Iowa. Bacon Explosion looks great. Pensecola Jim did that Bacon weave on his entry in the Iron Chef. Sure looks good.
LQ,
Burgers!!!!! All that talk about getting the creative juices flowing and all you could come up with was Burgers!!! Ok they look edible.
Mrs. Seemore your entry looks great but if you want feedback. It's missing the Tzatziki Sauce on top to finish it off. IMHO Other than that it looks great in my book.
Giz, you had me there for a second. :D
The first sleeper jumped up out of the weeds. PensacolaJim, are you kidding me? In only your 10th post to the forum you post that entry? Really nice looking. Congratulations. Me thinks PensacolaJim has been sandbagging us all! ;)
I told y'all there was at least one laying out there just waiting to ambush us.
KyNola
deb,
that picture of your pup on the deck makes me want another one in a bad way!
she is so cute!
Maybe I came out of the weeds a bit too early.
Someone came by with a weed-whacker and destroyed my habitat,
So I had no choice but to post early.
It's interesting to see what everyone comes up with.
Anyway it was a challenge and I enjoyed conjuring up something new.
At least it was tasty!
Good luck to all.
Jim ::)

actually she's pretty awesome (even at 2 am) ....
I must confess, I had a little help!
I asked Chef Ramsey what he would make with the three ingredients?
He replied;
Why you d#%+ F@+*&, why don't you K*#%8 my #%*^# and %#*&!.
Make a %$&* with the tenderloin and $%*@ add $%@**.
And then get the F%^& out of Hells Kitchen. #%&*$% #@!^&

I agree with 10.5. My son is a hummus/falafal lover and I'm going to try your recipe out. :)
Deb
You know what? I just KNEW Habs was lurking out there in the weeds. Have you taken a look at his entry? Really nice work Habs!!
Is it too late for me to withdraw as I am an all too obvious amateur compared to you guys (and gals)!
KyNola
this was just too funny to me for some reason,
i left the kitchen door open while i was smoking some peanuts and chicken wings.
i realized that i had not seen bailey in a while so i checked outside (he sneeked out when i wasn't looking)
he was laying on the hill behind the house! he had positioned himself so he could see into the kitchen so he
knew when i was looking for him.
the first thought that came to mind was when Kynola said there were people lurking in the weeds.
sorry i just had to do this post! :D :D
(http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr169/smokerpics/layinginwait.jpg)
I am weed lurking no more! ;D

Good one UIS!
WTS, I felt confident you were lurking about out there as well.
KyNola
I just could'nt figure out how to make a brisket look like a porkloin! ;D
Ya know this was/is pretty cool, we might have to do this again!
C
Hab's looks amazing...well done...all of these dishes are killer....this was fun! I know I just did burgers (which I have already been chastised for)...just wanted to do something different...had a good time with this.... :)
No Chastizing from here LQ. If you consider most of the entries were variations of stuffed loins, the Iron Chef judges would have to give you extra points on some originality.

OOOP's I knew that. Been a Long day chasing yardapes and visiting the inlaws. Even mowed the FIL's yard for him.
For all those others that might still be hiding in the weeds. Time to come out. Or we will send Bailey in after you!!! I will post the poll at the top of the turn in thread for voting, after the kids get dropped off at school. Which is about 8:05am CST. FAIR WARNING if you want your entry to be counted in the vote!!
Y'all, these are some serious good eats. Each post I look at I say, "Gotta Try That!" But honestly most of these require a level of culinary art I have yet to try. Heck, just chopping the Pinyon Nuts fine like you all do. Wow. But I know that I will not try these as my wife hates Raisons. Some of these might be able to remove them, but most not, defeats the purpose.
Now to wonder which embody the aroma and texture of each main ingredient and do not put them on the sideline but up front and central and blend so perfectly.
I must say, the aptitude of Sauce making is great, sure I can make a good béarnaise and bordelaise and every once and a while a good Jalapeno, Lime, and Cilantro reduction, but wow, these look good.
Good job all.
IKW...ya know what...it's all about imagination in cooking...think...try...make....heck...if your wife doesn't like raisins...substitute dried cranberry, blueberry, apricots (they love pork)....just think about it...it's actually quite fun!!! ;D Heck just cut a pine nut in half...or don't...just imagine....the possibilities are endless!!! Look at the diversity here on this site....? ;D Priceless without a Mastercard around!!! :D

Exactly!!! I used golden raisins in my Chutney and you couldn't even tell they where in there. Might be a way to hide them from the wife. The old saying out of sight out of mind thing.
LESSON LEARNED!
Don't wait till the last weekend to get your entry done. Last weekend all blocked up and so was this one, but since my softball games this week were early, I'd get'r dun Sunday evening. Well turned out everything for the weekend was canceled, including Bradley smoking. Rained all weekend - not off and on, but all weekend. And I don't have a covered place to use the Bradley. Used a blowtorch to get the Bandera going to do some fajitas for the family and thought about cheating, but thought twice - you can't pull anything over on the teabags!!!

IN AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE THINGS EASIER, I PUT TOGETHER ONE LAST POST IN THE TURN IN THREAD. THAT POST HAS ALL OF THE FINAL PLATED PICTURES TOGETHER. HELPS WITH THE SCROLL AND DROOL FACTOR.
Ok,
i had an entry, and in an effort to be a smarty britches and wait till the last minute (not that i had anything special)
just to be funny,
we had more tornado's and my power went out so i missed the deadline.
LESSON LEARNED!!!
i am in on the next one for sure. no more tom foolery.
here is a pic finished....no specifics.

I to had a entry, since I have never posted pictures I didn't get it in. It was the winning one to ;D. Stuffed porkloin with cornbread & pinenut stuffing, covered with a raisins sauce. It was good. By the time Iron chef II comes around I will be in.
I agree with everyone here in that this was just plain old fun! Lots of ingenuity too! And we need to do this again sometime! I want to post recipes just to get feedback from everyone!
Deb, I thought about adding a yogurt/dill sauce on top of the pita before I dished it up, but then laziness - and a HIGH MAINTENANCE Doberman puppy got the best of me. :)
Glad to hear that someone else out there - your son - is a hummus fan. I love to take that to work just to watch the grimaces appear once my coworkers have been told what it is.
Pity for them; I think it is seriously good stuff!
Give Saffron a hug for me!
LQ, don't you be taking that sass talk from 10.5 about your entree! I think it looks awesome, along with the other dishes - excluding my oh-so-plain pita.

I forgot how high maintenance puppies are ;D , it's one of those things you block out of your mind... I was lucky & my parents were here when I did my entry so my mom entertained Saffron for me :)
I will give Saffron a hug from you, give Tasha one from us.
Ya know what seemore....I can take sass....no biggie....hubby and neighbors loved the burgers! I'm good with that. It was fun...and I'm gonna make your pita!!! :)
Coulda, woulda, shoulda,
In the face of the nine day and continuing rain (well not really, it stopped for about 4 hours yesterday), I just have to chime in with my ideas about what the winning recipe would have been.
Around Nashville, pulled pork served on top of a cornbread flatcake is popular so I was going with a New World Order Pork on Cornbread
Make a barbecue sauce utilizing bourbon and ground raisins.
Core a tenderloin and stuff with string cheese - smoke normally finishing off with the bourbon/raisin bbq sauce.
Make a polenta with goat cheese and pine nuts. Let set up in a loaf pan. Slice into a thick slice and crisp up in a fry pan.
Put the polenta slice on the plate, slice up tenderloin and arrange nicely on top of the polenta. Drizzle some of the sauce on top of the pork.
Serve with a savory pesto cheesecake (with pine nut bottom crust) and some creamy cole slaw on the side.

Did anyone else happen to notice the one NON ingredient That everyone seemed to be using in their dishes?
Asparagus just about everyone had it.
It is springtime isn't it? Wet though it may be!
I read somewhere that asparagus promotes the formation of certain kidney stones. Those ain't NO fun. So's I don't eat them much anymore. In looking at it one way, the Iron Chef competitors are a sadistic bunch, especially the ones who wrap the Potential Pain in bacon! ;D ;D

Those things not only looked cool, they also looked good! I've cooked asparagus tied with bacon, but not wrapped like you did. Maybe this weekend. I want to do a brisket anyways. Right now it finally isn't raining. Hopefully it will hold until this weekend.

It is springtime isn't it? Wet though it may be!
I read somewhere that asparagus promotes the formation of certain kidney stones. Those ain't NO fun. So's I don't eat them much anymore. In looking at it one way, the Iron Chef competitors are a sadistic bunch, especially the ones who wrap the Potential Pain in bacon! ;D ;D

Caney,
You don't have to be smoking to make them I didn't smoke mine at all just cooked indirect on the grill. You have to watch them kinda close cause if they get to hot the Asparagus will dry out and turn into black nasty. I have a product called Cookies Flavor Enhancer that I put on mine, works really good, but any rub will work on the bacon. Also I have never been able to get more than 5 stalks on a standard toothpick. Run the toothpick through the thick part and another on the top. Toothpick helps keep them flat and is a great Bacon hook.
DING DING DING WE HAVE A WINNER!!!! Congratulations to
Pensacola Jim!!
Great JOB Jim! if you would PM me your mailing address. I will get your Bradley Smoker Towel sent out to you and When Brian gets back will have him get your bisquettes out to you.
Congratulations to everyone that competed as well. Everyone did a Stand up job and I see everyone got at least 1 vote!!!
I would also like to add that I AM NOT a mean and vicious person. Prior to talking My Smack talk which was mainly directed at the TEABAG LADY and the PUPPY LADY. I did send them a pm telling them NOT to take me serious that I was just having some fun. To Which they both responded with "Game On Sounds Like Fun" or words to that effect! Hopefully I didn't offend anyone during this whole Iron Chef Smack talk thing.
