I haven't done one of these in a while, so I thought it was time.

It's nice to be spending at least a little time in the kitchen the last couple of days. I got some cold smoked scallops from Catalina and put this together….it was quite easy.

Most of my meals over the last couple of weeks have kinda looked like this though…..

But being really busy doesn't mean you can't put together something together quickly that you enjoy…..

I've never been a big fan of Soboro, basically a crumbled ground beef dish. I grew up eating something like this and I just never took to it. The Missus on the other hand, loves it. She's been requesting it a bit over the last couple of weeks.

I'm not quite sure why She likes this so much, but at least it gave me something…along with the salmon I smoked weekly, to make ahead of time so She has something to eat while I'm busy at work.

I played around with making a bourbon-maple sugar glaze for my last smoke session before things got crazy. I made smoked some pork belly…..I should have cured it a bit longer.

I thought the chicken came out nice, but the Missus said it just wasn't smokey enough for Her.

Anyway, I hope you're all having a great weekend….a long one for some of us!
