Guy Stuff – Cream of Smoked Turkey & Wild Rice Soup
Guy Stuff – Cream of Smoked Turkey & Wild Rice Soup
Back on the smoker this time, I show you not only how to make the main event for this recipe, but how to pull off the best damn Thanksgiving turkey you’ll ever have Just don’t try and compete with the wife or mom, you’ll piss them off when your turkey goes first! SUPER easy to make you can use any kind of basting you wish, I prefer a good beer, using Samuel Adams Boston Lager here, with some olive oil and italian seasoning. I think it adds just enough punch without becoming to prominent. If you haven’t had real wild rice before in soups or dishes (more…)
How To Build A Cigar Coolidor
I get this question so much I had to make a video – even though it’s nothing magic! It’s kinda like doing touchups – there is so much mystery, myth and pure bullshit about the subject people just think there’s more to it than there really is. So here’s all it takes in a nutshell. Buy cooler. Wash Cooler. Dry cooler. Put in cigars, the more the better, including boxes. Use good beads. Enjoy! ANYTHING else is your personal choice, but nothing else is needed to function. I’ve been running this configuration for many years. The last 600+ reviews have been out of this exact setup. (more…)
Cuban Paradise Shoot
I had a quick shoot this morning for a new manufacturer about to come on the scene. They have had a small shop in a local tourist area for the past few years but are now expanding and shipping worldwide, just about to launch a website and over 2 dozen blends! I’ll be doing the product shots and some magazine ads soon, along with some video goodies. Here’s a clip from today, showing the three in-house rollers doing some bunching.
Oh and something interesting – I had to poll him on the 60rg phenomenon. He confirmed they sell a lot of them. What was interesting to me was who. he said almost exclusively, to the experienced smokers, not newbies. He said newbies go for flavored most of the time or small light shades. All I can say is, I guess those experienced smokers aren’t on the internet, OR are just not talkers. (more…)
