Hi everyone,
Sorry it's been quite a while since the last post - since then Ike has appeared in the Latest edition of "The Naperville Dog" (see the link below pic #3)
and because of that Ike and I are going to submit a journal of our hunting season escapades for publication for their Winter Issue.
It has been a pretty hectic month - I did a NASCAR Driving Experience (man was that fun); had the Knutson Invitiational (and for the first time Sandy and my team won); went down to the farm and helped wean calves and the brothers have a GREAT start on the harvest. However it was not always good news. Ike suffered a seizure the morning after my last post and scared the you know what outta both of us. But the good news is all tests came back fine and has been his normal active self since then. So keep your fingers crossed that it was an isolated case. I just took him to the vet for his follow up, pre-hunting season check up, and the Vet says, Ike is looking great and checks out OK.

Well, as the title suggests our cooking topic is ribs - again. I know, I know some of you have to be thinking geesh, doesn't he every get tired of smoking ribs... My answer - NOPE!!! Ike and I had a request from my br
other in law to have a rib night as every time we have had one in the past he was out of town and he was tired of hearing (but not tasting) how good they were. So about a month ago we checked every one's calendar and picked Sat Oct 8th. Who would have guessed we would have 100% sunshine and a warm and breezy 80* on the second Saturday of October. Well, we smoked 10 (yes 10) racks of ribs in my trusty Weber smoker and they got two thumbs up from the diners.

We played games in the yard and had a fire pit and S'mores for the kids (well maybe the young at heart too :) ) and a great time was had by all. (All under the watchful eye of Ike ;) )
Everyone had plenty to eat and I know of at least one individual that was one tired pup!
It won't be much longer - pheasant season is about upon us and Ike is getting the urge - like me.
Until then, "Ike, find that bird!"
