On today's show, I am back in the saddle recording after a long break. since Memorial Day is upon us I discuss a different take on most BBQ items. Country style ribs are not that popular but can provide an inexpensive and tasty alternative to most "grill" items. As usual, I HIGHLY recommend seeking out a local farm that raises hogs outside with a natural diet. We need to STOP supporting factory farms, natural pork is widely available, just takes some looking. Also today I talk about a very simple kraut salad that my mother-in-law makes and love. It's simple and it will be a welcomed surprise at your next gathering. Most people are only used to seeing cabbage hammered in crap mayonnaise. this has no mayo and is almost addictive. I want to thank those of you who email to encourage me to continue podcasting, it's a labor of love for sure but life sometimes gets in the way. I hope you have a great weekend and let's try to remember our service men and women who have put on a uniform and stood at a post to protect this country. BBQ's are great, but the real reason we celebrate is to remember the folks who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Thank you for your service.
