I am the lucky recipient of another completely unexpected gift from a reader. A reader from Texas named Jeff emailed me today and said he would like to send me a gift basket of authentic Texas BBQ from Cooper's Old Time Pit BBQ, one of the most famous and well reviewed BBQ joints in the nation. I don't know what all is included, but I'm sure there'll be some brisket, which is the heart and soul of Texas BBQ. I didn't start this blog to get rewarded like this, but I sure as hell ain't gonna say no to good BBQ! This is just a way to say thanks to Jeff for his generosity and thoughtfulness. Now Wednesday can't get here fast enough!

Given that Private Practice is a spinoff of Grey's Anatomy, I never saw any reason whatsoever to…
Okay, a break from all the serious stuff for a little pop culture. While doing a search for information on a restaurant, I came across this post on a blog I've never seen blasting the Food Network for many things. Now, the Food Network is quite possibly my favorite channel. I'm a serious food lover…
My BBQ giftbox from Cooper's arrived this morning. Holy cow, way more than I expected - a whole brisket, a rack of spare ribs, two huge pork chops, some smoked sausage, summer sausage and a bottle of BBQ sauce. I put the spareribs on the grill and reheated them tonight and I'm currently in that "oh…
Way, way off topic, but just to let you know, the Nobel Prizes are starting to be announced. My particular interest is the prize in Physics (my undergrad and grad work was in physics).
The rest of the Nobel Prizes will probably be awarded over the next week.

You spoke of Bourdain the other day, Ed. What do you think of the TV sitcom based on his collection of stories???
and now back to the Nobel awardees eating fine BBQ.
