back at it, PIG. ITS DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HA got it! now with pic

[La Quinta]

Nah...ask "O" it's "Indio Pale Ale"!!! :)

[Consiglieri]

Served up the rest of that IPA I sent the SoCalians on Christmas.  Evaporated mighty quickly (I helped).

IPA is an India Pale Ale.  It's spiked pretty hard with hops, which doesn't affect the alcohol, but does prolong the shelf life.  IPAs have a very spicy, hoppy taste (kind of like a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale).  It's one of my favorites. 

Glad the pig turned out well.  Still waiting to see what the new year's menu will be.  Starting to look like a couple of nice NY steaks accompanied by a Seghesio reserve zin.  Baked potato for starch.  Crown royal for the vegetable.

Whooohoooo!!  Way to go!  It looks absolutely WONDERFUL!  Interested in having guests from PA?

Mama-I had guests from PA show up Saturday just as I was taking a smoker full of ribs out to FTC. I told them it would take a couple of hours before they were ready to eat, and unfortunately they couldn't stay that long ;). I know, that was mean and selfish, so I gave them a rack of about 10 ribs to go. Hey, they're the wifes friends, not mine!  ;D

Did I hear someone say IPA?

Can't say I've ever heard of a smoked IPA though.....Smoked Porter? a seasonal staple indeed.
