Lined up 6 racks of ribs, a pork shoulder, 4 turkey drumsticks, 2 chickens, 2 salmon fillets and made a Bacon Explosion: http://www.bbqaddicts.com/blog/recipes/bacon-explosion/

Part Two

Salmon was the first out

Followed by the Bacon Explosion

Ribs start coming in

Turkey Legs – somehow I didn’t photograph the chickens

And at 4PM the next day, pulled pork.

Ironically preceding the meat-fest above, some time spent by Mom in the hospital

Fresh eggs

This is at the end of my street – one of the last working farms on
Long Island. It’s authentic, the old farmer has
been there for generations. Fresh omelets tomorrow!

Amazing shot at Peregrine, DC

Thanks to Mike White for recommending it!

Preparing Short Ribs

Here's about 8 of the 10 pounds I'm browning. I'll braise them for
about 3 hours, using Guinness Stout & beef broth with onions, garlic,
carrots & rosemary.
