Have you heard of the craze that’s sweeping the nation? It’s a new kind of barbecue sauce. It’s from Alabama and it’s amazing. I first saw it on the The Kitchen on the Food Network and then it popped up in my grocery store’s magazine. It is tangy and a smidge spicy. It will be …

I’ve made a couple of recipes from it before, these Chicken Wings and these Honey Almond Apple Puffs, …

So, I’ve made a commitment to redoing my fireplace with the German Shmear application. That’s the one you’ve seen on Fixer Upper where they shmear mortar over the brick so that it’s mostly white with some red peeking through.
