PART 2So - then we went to a little hardware store...It covered 4 or 5 city blocks
...And was like an old time general store. They had everything here...
...Even an wintertime Amish school bus
New central heat systems...
Latest technology washers and dryers...
And even Hi-Tech lawn trimming equipment!
Just turn the handle, while you push it, keep it level, and straight..No big deal huh?
And the clothes dryer that NEVER needs a repairman!
They even sold modern sedans...
And - apparently Pappy has been sand-baggin' on us all. He is a cold drink magnate in Amish country....
More than one flavor - you know how easily bored he is...
AND..to top that - he has an entertainment empire too!
So...we ambled back to the Mohican River Inn for some world class ( no kidding ) BBQ. Old Dave is known in BBQ Competition for his ribs, and they did not disappoint - and neither did anything on the plate!
LOOK at the shine on that rib end!
Don's Killer Kimchee!
Dave's Italian Sausage meatloaf...( ...drool...drool...)
Dave's pig shots. A chunk of sausage, ( Italian or Kielbasa..?) wrapped in bacon, and filled with cream cheese, some rub on top. then smoked...MAMMA!!!!
Dave's pork loin with a raspberry sauce.....
And Cliff's Jamaican Jerk Chicken..( I personally thought the chicken was pleasant: A nice personality and great sense of humor...But it was nice and spicy
And it was was Maci approved!
Oh...and Barney approved too...
And once again..."Blazing....fire pit ( you thought I would say Saddles"...but I didn't....
)
Sunday...and it was hard to get moving. Something about food excess, and some nite caps...The place was clean, fresh, comfortable and quiet. Could not ask for nicer folks that own and run the place. And, tho they furnish a continental breakfast...You know this crowd - right?
So..Pam made her world famous Maple Bacon glazed flaky doughnuts...
And Mike (HighonSmoke) is going in for the kill...
He and Art were in full attack mode on those things...not that I was slackin'....
Cliff's biscuits baked in the Mak 1 Star
And the OMG gravy that Pam made....
Cliff's brown sugar brined and smoke ham...BAM!
Don brought 3 kinds of bacon - ALL top notch
Of course - Dave had to make sure that Cliff and Don were on task...You can't have 2 Ohio boys left alone...MISCHIEF!!!
The choir is assembled on my plate - and getting ready to sing...
Once again - Maci approved!
Don cooked some scrambled eggs after the bacon...man what flavor!
Biscuits and gravy all cozy in there...
Brown sugar ham - THIS is a recipe you nee dot make at home. See Cliff's recipe int eh Charcuterie section
And Don's bacon...oh boy - this stuff was the best!
And Don surprised us with an old fashioned beef bung Bologna. The GOOD stuff like the used to make all across America.....Now - most of us only get Oscar Meyer junk...
Thhhaaaats all folks!
