Happy Sunday evening all...

There’s a Candy Matson...love Family Theater...great having Lights Out! at 10pm...and never heard of Everyman’s theater but it looks good...

How’s everybody doing?

[WXRGina]

Hi, Vision. Not much news here. We’re okay. How’s it going with you?

[Vision]

I’m good Gina, have been working from home which has been lovely. Tried a western carolina bbq sauce recipe this weekend which is good but can probably be better.

[WXRGina]

Is that the thin, vinegar-based kind?

[dakine]

Let you know... There are folks like who listen and thanks for the reminder...

[Vision]

Yes, the western style adds more to it like Ketchup.

[WXRGina]

I’ve had that eastern kind before where they put cole slaw on the barbecue sandwich.

[WXRGina]

I didn’t mean “eastern.” I meant the thin, vinegar kind.

[Vision]

The coleslaw doesn’t matter. Eastern is mostly vinegar and brown sugar, the western adds katsup and maybe other stuff.

[Vision]

Enjoy, stop by more often.

[WXRGina]

I like them both. Of course, I like most everything, not a picky eater at all.

[Viking2002]

Evening, folks. Hope all is well.......

[Vision]

How’s it going?

[WXRGina]

Hi, Viking! Hope you’re doing well.

[Viking2002]

Always been a fan of KC-style BBQ sauce, myself. I think I've said before that when I make a rack of ribs on the grill, I beer steam them at about 250 for a couple hours, wet-smoke them on the charcoal side, then mop on KC style (or other) sauce on the gas side until the sauce starts to bark along the edges. Speaking of which, I got got done roasting a pan of pecan-smoked chicken wing sections for dinner. It smells like a hardwood campfire out there. Mmmm.

OK, since the subject came up: how do you like your potato salad? Classic, mustard, Southern style, egg, or German?

[Vision]

I like them all but if it’s going to be german but it needs to be a good version of it. You?

[WXRGina]

I like ALL of those potato salad choices, so I’m not a good person to ask. But I’m glad you’re doing well, Viking. And your dinner sounds excellent! :-D
