Smokin' (or procrastinating?)

Or better titled -- what Dave does while supposedly grading papers all day.

Polish Sausage, Tri-tip with dry rub, yellow-fin tuna, brined all night.  Hickory chunk fire - very small, off to the side.

Yellow-fin tuna comes from a friend, caught off Baja.

Oh yeah, I'm working -- grading papers.   

Man that looks good,,,, probably put you in the mood to be generous with the grades.

Tasty!!

I tend it every hour, add a little hickory chunk, rotate the tri-tip.  It makes a good break from the tedium of end-of-semester grading.  I just had a little sausage as a first hors d'oeuvre.  - tasty -- and yes, so far these papers are looking pretty good.   

Ummmmm Mr B. How come my paper smells like smoke?

Hahaha - that would be a good trick.     Right now I'm grading papers for an on-line course.  The papers come to me in electronic format via e-mail.  If I could figure out how to send aromas on-line, I'd have posted that here!      But sometimes when grading in-person, hard-copy papers I do inadvertently get a smudge of tasty goodness on the paper.   

Added a few veggies for dinner in a while.   I will glaze the fish with molasses in an hour. 

Hr by hr updated on the bbq hahahaha yeah!!!!

Thanks......my dinner is gonna suck

Oh man -- sorry 9erfan.     ---    Here's our dinner --- I cut off the end piece on the tri-tip, brought in one sausage and the veggies and it made a wonderful dinner for me and "the wife." The tri-tip was "to die for."   -- I glazed the fish with molasses, stoked the fire and will bring the rest of the food off in stages.  Will likely have one piece of the yellow-fin a bit later.  We'll have great meals all week!

Molasses glazed - smoked yellow-fin tuna --- oh my, this was EXCELLENT!   

Yeah, that tuna looks outstanding!  Nice work, Prof.   

I just finished dinner and after looking at your pics......I'm hungry again!
