I’m back, my hiatus is over. I have been busy trying to build my BBQ Empire and things are going well. Let me say, it’s a long way to the top if you want to barbecue! This summer our weekends have been filled with store demos and markets, but we still manage to find time … More Happy Belated National Hotdog Day!
Mrs. AlbuKirky here, sharing with you today, part one of a trilogy of posts inspired by what else…a trip to the movies. Food in film is not a rarity. Sometimes it plays a leading character and sometimes it blends into the background. Sometimes it represents wealth and abundance, and sometimes it’s scarcity depicts longing and … More Getting Smashed…Tostone Style!
It’s been a bit of a crappy week. My meat fridge in the garage died. I know that sounds like a First World Problem, but it really pissed me off. The reason it really pissed me off was I had to throw away 15lbs of pork belly I was curing for bacon. My pork belly … More Beer Belly
It’s not always steaks and barbeque here at the AlbuKirky Kitchens. I do occasionally dabble in my other food passion, ICE CREAM! I’m actually not sure what I love making more, ice cream or barbeque? But I don’t have to choose, because I can always eat my ice cream after BBQ and enjoy the best of both worlds. … More Buttermilk Vanilla Ice Cream…That’s Right Buttermilk!!
At least once, sometimes twice a year, my sister sends me a care package of Iowa Chops from Amana Meats. These aren’t just any pork chop either, they are really more like a pork steak. Each steak is about 3/4 lb, 1″ thick, bone in cuts of pure porky goodness. Normally, I season these chops with my Green … More Chopped
The NM spring winds are in full force this weekend and pretty much put the kibosh on any outdoor cooking. While the winds have extinguished the fires in my pits it didn’t blow away my desire to cook up something tasty. This weeks creation is something that is actually good for you. And being the meat guy that I … More All Kale is Breaking Loose
A little over a year and half ago I was singing the praises of the brand-new-used Beef Eater gas grill I purchased from Craig’s List. But today, I’m sad to say the Beef Eater has been replaced by a newer, shinier and much sexier grill. Don’t get me wrong, the Beef Eater was a great … More It’s Not You, It’s Me
Last week was the big Game of Thrones Season 4 Premier so we had a big feast to celebrate and watch the show. Like an alcoholic always looking for an excuse to drink, we’re always looking for an excuse to eat! And like they say, misery loves company, so we decided to invite a few … More Feast of Thrones
Well, today is St. Patrick’s Day and I don’t normally celebrate St. Paddy’s day, but I thought it would be a good excuse to make some corned beef for Sunday Dinner. As usual, we had quite a menu for our Irish Feast…corned beef brisket, cabbage, crusty artisan loaf bread, Irish Soda Bread, (cause one loaf … More An Irish Feast
I’m so excited, this weekend is the big Fiery Foods & BBQ Show. Team AlbuKirky is working hard to get ready. This is our second year at the show and everyone is really looking forward to it. Three full day’s of pimping my products, by Sunday afternoon I will barely be able to repeat my schpeel. … More Fiery Foods & BBQ Show 2014
