BrainFuel

It’s summertime and BrainFuel is happy to let you know about a new guest who will be posting some tips on grilling. Our new guest is Bob from Bob’s BBQ.

He’ll be posting occasionally about topics related to grilling, barbeque, and related food items. Of course, I’ll be posting his articles for him since he doesn’t have a computer so I have to type these up. What a pain.

So without further ado, I present Bob’s first post:

A long time ago Chris posted a link to an article about how to properly grill steaks and fish. That was a good article but wasn’t complete because it left out details about how to grill vegetables and potatoes as well as some information about proper grill temperature. More Grilling Tips by Robert K. Brown is a follow up article worth reading.

Now, as the purveyor of a fine BBQ establishment I just had to say something here. Grilling potatoes isn’t a good idea unless you have a very low heat grill. Most people don’t.

Recommendation: Cook your potatoes in the oven for 55 – 60 minutes at 425 degrees. Then, after removing from the oven, smother in Bob’s BBQ sauce. It’s a creamy sauce only available at my BBQ joint. Top with some ribs or slow roasted beef (be sure to marinate) and you’ll have a delightful dinner.

Coming Next: Grilling in 115 degree heat. Do you even need a barbeque in Arizona? Using Wildfire to Grill Dinner.

Recently most of our traffic on BrainFuel has been from Google for the search term “Gomer Pile.” Now folks, let me remind you that BrainFuel is your best source for *cough* quality content, and I think this is a situation where we are certainly exceeding expectations. Are we not?

Nothing like having a giant cup of ice cream for free!!! YUMMY!

I’m a little late on this one but that’s ok. Your challenge, if you accept it, is to come up with a funny, witty caption for this photo and submit it in the comments. Please keep it clean. Thanks and have a great weekend!!

Since everybody else is talking about the Supreme Court decision I’ll say my piece.

Amendment V of the Bill of Rights says this: “…nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”

I suppose this has been debated to no end, but the definition of public is at question here. Now every owner of an older commercial complex or building close to commercial property, and every homeowner must live in fear of having their property taken away. What can you do to prevent developers from eyeing your land? This guy has an idea. It’s not great but if you knew developers were interested in your land its one idea. The only problem is it could backfire later when you want to sell your property.

Sandra Day O’Connor’s dissent:

“The government now has license to transfer property from those with fewer resources to those with more … The founders cannot have intended this perverse result.”

“Under the banner of economic development, all private property is now vulnerable to being taken and transferred to another private owner, so long as it might be upgraded.”

“Who among us can say she already makes the most productive or attractive use of her property?”
