I don’t really drink much so no alcohol for me. But I am drunk on smoked bbq meatloaf I made. I made 5 pounds of meatloaf on my smoker. Homemade bbq sauce.
Old fashioned all day. On coffee now trying to make it to midnight while watching bucks and dawgs
Went out. Lucky Rooster. Grilled oysters, lamb lollipops. And a shrimp Bahn Mi Sammy with duck fat fries.
Bottle of unoaked Chardonnay. Mrs had wedge salad and vegetable papperdale pasta.
It was tasty. Home early to watch football.

Tomorrow pork tenderloin, St. Louis ribs, local smoked kielbasa, sauerkraut and taters in a apple cider beer broth.
Grill the meat first, then bake. Same recipe for 20+ years. Tasty. Kraut turns dark brown….

Pork. The folklore from Pennsylvania Germans was that if you eat pork on New years day you will have a prosperous year. Never change up a tradition that has always worked well.
Hot dogs and kraut all day long. Breakfast to late night snack.
OH yeah. I didn't eat black eyed peas in 2020 and we all know what happened.
The south has a lot of great traditions..... I don't think this is one I could embrace fully. Maybe as a side to pork and sauerkraut.
I like the simple recipe from meat church. But my recipe is fairly common with meatloaf but I use a homemade bbq sauce instead of ketchup or tomato paste. The sauce is mostly ketchup based with garlic, brown sugar, onions, seasonings, coconut aminos, and vinegar.
My meat seasoning includes salt, pepper, Cayenne pepper, other peppers, cumin, paprika, bread crumbs, and coconut aminos.
I freeze the meatloaf wrapped in a loaf pan. Helps it keep shape. When I take out of freezer I brush with bbq sauce, top off with bbq seasoning blend. Directly on grates with drip pan. Smoked at 250 for 3.5 -4 hours and turn up heat to 375 to finish off. Add more sauce around 3.5 hours. 160 degrees internal.
It's New Years Day here, 4 pm.
Had friends down and went fishing after the game yesterday. Caught a nice trout out of the Aparima River and smoked it with manuka wood chips.
Made baked new potatoes dug from the garden and corn on the cob.
Drank a Central Otago sparkling under the stars, after a good beer battering of the chef.
That was a great day.

Whipped up some Kaya Black Bean dip for the game. Same stuff they serve at Kaya and Mad Mex.
That beats the hell out of my pork and sauerkraut. Fortunately for those of us in western PA, the rain today did wash some of the road salt off of our vehicles. Not quite trout fishing, but better than a week ago!
Summer holidays are the best. In the last four days I have fished three of the best fly fishing rivers in the world. (Oreti, Mataura and Aparima). Heavy overnight rain made the rivers run high and fast so unsafe to wade in many places and difficult to spot trout. We went to a braided section yesterday and saw some good fish, many taking dry under the willows. Difficult casting for sure. We laid a number of different sizes and patterns right on them without joy. I got my fish to come out from under the tree with a size 16 hare and copper nymph. 4 pound brown. Was a nice fish.
Wasn't gonna share but what the hell ..

Either a pork loin roast today or tomorrow. Still seeing family's availability. Nothing fancy or elaborate.
