Homemade (reduced fat) biscuits this morning! You can make these at home or at the campsite (dutch oven).

2 cups of self-rising flour, a couple ounces of apple sauce, and 3 tablespoons of butter (cold, cut into small cubes). I use the apple sauce instead of extra shortening; you do not taste the apple, but it cuts down a lot on the bad fat.

Smoked and seared tri-tip is always a welcomed treat. Eat it sliced like a steak, or thin sliced and heaped on a roll with provolone cheese.

Family decided that we are doing brisket this weekend. Costco only had some nice flats, so not doing a whole packer (flat and point). Cook today... eat tomorrow.

Origin of the term BBQ, which dates back to the buccaneer pirates.
