Living this adventure called life through food and travel with my friends and family. Mostly I write about food, but you may come across some subtle opinions on the way! https://www.facebook.com/memyselfandcuisine/
About a week ago, I wrote a post about all of the different types of smokers. Smokers come in all different types, shapes, and sizes. You have offsets, box smokers, electric smokers, propane fueled smokers, kettle smokers, and the seemingly ever popular pellet smokers. These pellet smokers seem to have exploded on to the market […]
The other day I came across a post in a foodie group where someone was looking for advice on choosing a smoker because he wanted to start smoking meats. This was my chance to get my opinion out there, and it wasn’t completely unsolicited. Starting Out At first, I was smoking briskets and chicken in college […]

Italian Food is one of those food genres that is hearty and versatile and covers a wide range of dishes. From fresh pastas to soups and then on to pizzas before heading over to seafood, Italian food covers it all. This might be an Americanized version of Italian food, but I’m going to let slide. […]
October sees the rise of soups and the arrival October fest, so sausage felt like a fitting feature for the Weekly Favorites this week. I like that this is a retirement community taking the time to make things a little extra fun for the residents. Plus, it’s Octoberfest. Beer and sausage. It doesn’t get much […]
