PIG JIG

 

We look forward to Pig Jig event held yearly in San Jose California. This is a corporate fund raiser for NepCure Kidney International. This year was not open to the general public but was well attended by donors and guests. This event also happens to host a bbq event which needed judges. We judged tri-tip and ribs with our favorite category of "Anything Goes" Anything Goes is a category that comprises of the teams special culinary creations to impress the judges. It seemed the theme this year was to include booze with every entry. It may or may not have worked because everything is a little fuzzy right now. Please enjoy the images below.

 

 

 

BBQ in the Glen - 5th Annual BBQ Competition

It was a beautiful day to have a bbq contest in Willow Glen California. Ms. Goofy and I donned our shiny judges badges and judged ribs, chicken and tri-tip. There were 22 teams divided by Pro and Backyard divisions. Ms. Goofy and I drew the short straw and had the challenging duty of scoring the Backyard group. The event was well attended and some vendors sold out very early. What a great day. We would like to share a couple of images with you.

The End

 

TROUP 146

I forgot how much I love pancakes. Pancakes are a time machine that transports you back to a simpler time of great food memories. I was not disappointed at the Boy Scout Troup 146 pancake breakfast fundraiser. This was held at the local Elks Club with a good turnout. These young men were polite and eager to make our dining experience enjoyable. What a breath of fresh air and yummy treats.

 

FARMERS MARKET COOKBOOK

Two Fridays a month, I run the Richmond Certified Farmers Market. We are proud to announce our very own cookbook. If you look at the back cover below you can see some images of our very own farmers at the market. What fun this book is. They did not ask my input for this book and that is why there are no bbq recipes included. It still is a fun book and if you come by the market, I may even autograph a copy for you.

 

EL MOLINO CENTRAL

 El Molino Central is a destination Mexican restaurant in Boyes Hot Springs Ca. Freshly stone ground corn makes for this “’Masa Wonderland”. House made tortillas and tamales are the star here. Ms. Goofy had the green chicken enchiladas and I had the Chile Relleno with creamed corn, cheese, stuffed poblano pepper. The “Salsa Fresca’, was garden fresh. 

This meal had the WOW factor that beckons a return visit; ‘Pronto’.
