Stuftivus II Finds Its Muse

Stuftivus I centered on the Bacon Explosion. From the simple email from Sister Sharon about the Bacon Explosion came an explosion of commentary on Facebook about when Dennis, aka Smokey Stuftivus, would be embarking on such a culinary journey. The answer begat Stuftivus. With the help of Reno Mike and some pork products it was a rousing, and rotund, success.

Now Sister Sharon has descended from Mount Novato with yet another delight. The Brandcheezie (pictured compliments of its home at Brand BBQ Market in Chicago). Some thoughts.

First, "cheezie" is in the name! Harkens "E-Z Cheese". Possible substitute for gorgonzola or blue cheese? Squirt some E-Z Cheese in that big guy? Harkens my E-Z P-Z Pasta N Chee-Z would would be a fine side dish for the Brandcheezie.

Second, while the original Brandcheezie is fried, I think Reno Mike and I showed our grit at Stuftivus I in being able to grill huge amounts of bacon wrapped pork wrapped bacon, so the Stuftivus version of the Brandcheezie will not doubt come to grill.

Third, is there a better Muse out there for Stuftivus II than the Brandcheezie? If so I don't know that I want to know. Smokey will be dreaming of sausage stuffed with cheese wrapped in bacon glazed with barbecue sauce and alcohol.

Coming soon the official date for Stuftivus II: We thought about fish, but its still about Pork!

You know what won't be at Stuftivus II, or any Stuftivus!

While Waiting For Stuftivus Two

I am not a trained chef or cook. I have never prepared any food as a commercial enterprise, though I have made some cash for our PTA and other organizations selling tri-tip sandwiches and whole tri-tips. I'm just a self trained guy who likes to prepare and eat food.

While we wait for Stuftivus Two I will use this site to post some pretty simple recipes and ideas I use or have come up with that anyone should be able to duplicate.

I do not measure so a lot of what I use is guesswork, but that makes it easier for you to adjust to your tastes. Most of what I post here you will be able to substitute, add, subtract your own flavors.

Enjoy and send some of your ideas back, I love to cook and I love to eat!

Dennis, aka Smokey: Smokey has not burned down anything with his grill yet but that has not stopped him from trying. He thinks the Holy Trinity is Pork, Beef and Chicken perfectly slow cooked over heat outdoors. Homemade sauce and strict avoidance of any recipes makes every meal unique. Smokey's roots are 5th generation Okie and he swears his blood tastes like a cross between KC and South Carolina sauces. Smokey welcomes everyone to his Barbecue Salon!

Leslie, aka Wonder Woman: Wonder Woman tries to be the voice of reason for an event whose centerpiece is pork wrapped pork, thankfully she is able to accept failure. Despite her protestations of "Oh God Smokey that meal will seize up your heart" she is found elbow to elbow with the best of them. Wonder Woman is as gracious a hostess as anyone can find and Stuftivus is lucky she has allowed the doors to be open for the event.

Mike, aka Reno Mike, brings some refinement to the proceedings--or we let him think he does. Pork is not his middle name but his middle does not hide his love for the species. Reno Mike engages all in culinary and theoretical cook offs adding spice to both. A driving force behind Stuftivus, Reno Mike insists that the beverage wars should be behind us and whether it is a stout, an ale, a cabernet or a pitcher of Margaritas he thinks we can all just get along...long enough to discuss thermal nuclear grilling techniques and how they adhere to the Wobegon Treaty.
