Friday's Smoke

I want to start out by thanking all of you for not commenting that I posted a Wordless Wednesday post on Thursday. The week is just slipping by.

I don't really have much to say today. Mother's Day is Sunday and I'm working out a Mother's Day menu in my head, but I need to run it by the kids first. My daughter wants to be the main chef this year, so it may not involve the grills or smokers. Damn.

Saturday is the Oyster Bay Railroad Museum's Smoke N' Steam grilling contest out on Long Island. If you're anywhere near it, be sure to stop by. Oyster Bay is a beautiful town and you'll be able to sample food from many of the local restaurants.

I wish I could get out to Oyster Bay for Smoke N' Steam as it was inspired by Grillin' On The Bay which in turn was inspired by The Snowshoe Grilling Contest, but since the car accident I'm not doing any traveling I don't absolutely have to do. It's just too painful.

Speaking of New York City's own Grillin' On The Bay on June 7th. If you're planing on cooking in Brooklyn, get your application in now. Space is going quickly.
