A Great Easter

[Smoking Piney]

My wife and I went over to visit family this morning for a light breakfast. It's a gorgeous day and we had fun with the grand kids.



Back to the house for some yard work - planting bulbs and mulching. It's great to spend an entire day outside again.

This morning, I had visitors - a turkey hen and a HUGE Tom (turkey hunters wet dream with a beard that darn near dragged the ground ). The hen was OK with me taking pics. Big Tom, not so much. He'll be back...........



I put some thin cut pork chops on for dinner tonight - marinaded in McCormick's Brazilian Steakhouse Marinade (absolutely killer on pork and beef), and cooked hot and fast on the BGE with some mesquite chips to kick it up a bit:









It was a great Easter this year, and I hope that all of you had a great Easter!

Great spending time with grandkids, we did too. Your cook looks top notch and I'd love to try that. That turkey wouldn't last long around here.lol.

Happy Easter.

Thank, Russ!

I wish I caught a pic of the big Tom. He really is huge and a turkey hunter's wet dream. I'm in the woods. There's a flock that lives close and they make the rounds on the houses. They're used to people and normally don't care.

Nice! And a visit from the gobblers. It's Turkey season out my way and the turkeys are everywhere except in the line of fire. Lol!

Happy Easter, bud!

Looks like a perfect day. The granddaughter is quite a cutie and the food looks scrumptious.

That is cool. I'm not sure what Fonzie would have done, meeting a turkey in the garden. Going crazy if he spots a magpie on the neighbor's roof or closer.

Both him and I would have eaten thos chops fairly quick. Looks good.
