In the battle of Texas Twinkie Day, Roy's won the prize (from us, anyway).  Scott and I met there about 2 pm.  The line was short (maybe 10 folks in front of us) but there were even more waiting for to-go orders.  I got 9 twinkies for the price of 6 and Scott got his usual.  I polished off one and took the other 8 home for later.  I had a racquetball game at 4:30, otherwise I would have eaten 3.  :)  They are delicious.

Hopefully I will win their raffle and I can go get me a free twinkie every day for the next year!  I'll do it!

That's the first time I have gotten out of Roy's spending less than $50.  I'll be eating these bargains for the next 5 or 6 days.

Roy's posted on their Facebook page that they were sold out of twinkies by 6:30 pm.  Happy Texas Twinkie Day!

That ain't BBQ!

Yeah, you right, but it sure is good!  My Mrs came home with 6 salmon fillets totaling over 19 and a half pounds.  As usual, we had to cut them in half to fit our little bullet smoker.  Other than a quick rinse-off, that's all we had to do.  Just throw them in the smoker for 2 hours, then enjoy.

Get ready to celebrate Texas Twinkie Day October 16

With Green's Texas BBQ closing in just 3 months, I'll be getting it while I can.  I got there about 10:15 and was second in line.  He opened early, about 10:50 am, and there were already 20 people cued up behind us.  Everything was outstanding, as always, and I'll be heating up the rest for dinner this week.

Green's is closing!!

 

Oh no!  Don Green has announced on his Facebook page that he is retiring from BBQ after December 6, 2025.  No more "All N 1", brisket biscuits, or pork belly bites.  Wah!!!!  I shall endeavour to get as many as I can between now and then!  Wah!!!!

Scott was having BBQ withdrawal symptoms so we met up at Roy's to cure his shakes.  I got my usual brisket, ribs, twinkie, and pork belly burnt ends.  Everything was up to snuff except for the ribs.  They were tough and chewy.   

We were almost the only customers in the dining room at 2:30 pm, so there's a clue for future visits.

Smoked Salmon redux, 7/29/25

 

Oops we did it again.  Another 8.4 lbs of salmon went into our little bullet smoker and came out like this.  Scrumptious stuff.  The Hatch chili peppers arrived home a bit late, so they get their own little smoke session after we pulled the fish.  The fish came off much easier with my big brisket shovel.  That contented sigh you hear every evening about dinner time will be coming from our kitchen.
