Etcetera

Photo courtesy of the Etcetera page YES!!! FINALLY, a place worthy of me dusting off this stupid blog! This whole writing experiment was built on the idea that we love to find the off-the-wall, small business, niche eateries that do things RIGHT - then tell people about our experiences with them. For the eight of you that might read this, buckle up......

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! If you're like our home and haven't celebrated yet, I hope you have a great time with your loved ones!

The puppies have been growing like crazy, and... kind of like when I suggested a blog for the pups here... I (at the suggestion of Krista) started a TikTok for our dogs.

It's a fun way to turn their destructive power into something positive :) Here's one of their clips:

They're growing! It's hard to remember they're just a few months old - 14 weeks today - and have the energy of a nuclear power plant.

This is now our norm. I'm thinking I may have to have an off-shoot blog about the dogs and the misadventures of these two fuzzballs.

House just got a LOT smaller! Hugo (all white) and Koda (the....other one?).

I talk about food, but I cook it too. All kinds of magic happening today. Tons of pork shoulder currently, and later smoked chicken thighs for pulled chicken sandwiches. I'll even throw on some corn.

If you're near Owosso, come get some from 4 to 7pm at Joe-Lee's Crosswinds Cafe located at the Owosso airport.

Lewisville Smoke Food & Spirits ... Barbecue. For those that know me, you've heard me scream from the rooftops that sauce is a condiment - not an ingredient. This is especially true with ribs, brisket, and pulled pork. In my opinion, if you HAVE to serve it pre-sauced, then you're covering something up. Lewisville Smoke Food & Spirits near Port Hope, Michigan doesn't have that problem. It's a rare opportunity to try and review a place as new as this one, and I'm excited to share this stop on our food adventure with the 3 of you who follow me....
