Normally I Detest Salted Caramel But...
Thanks to someone's mistake we got a free salted caramel pizookie with chocolate ice cream at BJ's Brewhouse today. Not something I would order on purpose. (Can't turn down food, amiright?) I had ordered a Chimay blue with my meal and was very pleasantly surprised they paired incredibly well...- shanez

Roast Beef Sammich Heaven
Imma post what I do but you can make it your own in any number of ways. I buy cheap eye of round at Costco and trim the fat off it. Then it gets a light dusting of BBQ dry rub. I use Bad Byron's Butt Rub with a reasonable amount of ancho chile powder thrown in. Then a light coating of...- shanez

4 Wheel & Pipes
My brother is visiting from Germany and we were able to get out as a family today. I enjoyed my pipes and my brother enjoyed a couple of cigars. And our dog got to play in the snow for the first time ever. First stop was Jim's Special Flake in a Bruno Nuttens Bing: Second stop was...- shanez

Broken Jeep Track Bar Bracket Replacement
Managed to tear the front track bar bracket in half at the axle housing: Removed it completely with a 4" angle grinder with a cutoff disc and cleaned up the axle housing with the same grinder and a sanding disc. Dry fit the new, much beefier 1/4" mild steel one to check for fit and then...- shanez

Rosca de Reyes
What a great holiday! I didn't get the baby Jesus in my slice of cake so I don't have to make(buy) tamales for the next party! How do I describe this? First, I think the name is just the cake and the actual holiday name is much longer. Second, it's kinda like a Thanksgiving/Christmas combo...- shanez

Before I Smoke I Like To Cut The Cheese
I find the cheese gets better flavor when cut into smaller pieces before putting it in the smoker... rotfrotfrotf We're having a party tomorrow and the 53 degree (and dropping) temperature right now is perfect for smoking some cheese. I picked up some Kirkland, Costco's house brand, cheddar...- shanez

Christmas Eve Smoke
My wife is Mexican and Christmas Eve is the real celebration for her with things really kicking off at midnight. I smoked some pork tenderloin and pork belly for the festivities.

Jeeps & Pipes: These Are a Few of my Favorite Things
We found this trail last weekend in the dark and liked it so much we ran it again today in the daylight to try some of the more difficult spots and have time to stop for a smoke. Had my first bowl of Jim's Special Flake in a meer by H. Ege while taking a break on the trail. Some highlights...- shanez

Sometimes Only A Churchwarden Will Do
Just as with my tobacco, my choice of pipe is mainly selected according to my mood. All I wanted today was no work or social commitments and to go 4 wheeling with my wife and daughter to help de-stressfromall my work and social commitments. My wife and daughter slept in and then took some time...- shanez

Chats About Old English Tobacco Jars (1824)
Just arrived today. I think it was formerly a library book and it's a little delicate but looks really interesting. Rather nice for the $13 it set me back.- shanez

Kings Stride w/ Bordeaux vs Bourbon
I like trying various beverages with various blends and seeing what works for me and what doesn't. For example, Cognac goes very well with VaPers and most VAs. Recently I paired Kings Stride with a port barrel finished bourbon (Dareringer Rabbit Hole) and it was pretty good. I also recently...- shanez

Vehicle Suspension/Installation Tip
When working under a vehicle there are lots of good ideas (the best one is jack stands for safety) but this one is a huge effort saver. Stuff tends to shift when bolts are removed as suspensions are designed to move. This can lead to difficulty during reassembly. Don't worry. Instead of...- shanez

Rattray's in a Scary Story!
I listened to this story for the first time today and was pleasantly surprised not just by the mention of tobacco but the mention of a specific brand (about the 10 min mark) with a touch of its history albeit the tiniest bit. Kudos to the author. It's an odd little story with a touch of...I...- shanez
