The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for September 05, 2022

All I see is smoke behind you, Brutus.

I assume those will be smoked steak, shrimp and salmon, Brutus.

Yikes, steak, shrimp and salmon? $$$$$$$$

Nor is it a_groud_ chuck wagon. Why not smoke some ribs with your surf & turf.

sounds like seeing too much smoke on the food to me. our you cooking with the fire department this year for labor day or just enjoying some sea food smoke? :D

geez, brutus, don’t rake the kid over the coals…

Put another shrimp on the barbi. Besides chuck is better roasted.

If it all tends to end up as Cowboy Stew, it’s grub. But that’s good too. Eating from tin plates while seated on logs around a blazing fire for a little mood. (Yes, Blazing Saddles)

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

Sounds delicious. Definitely not grub and he probably needed to get a loan to finance this meal. Even Madame Gargoyle would find it difficult to complain about, unless he overcooks it. Enjoy the day my friend….

And all will be well done!

Us western show watchers know what grub is. Fixin’ to have some in a while. Head’em up, move’em out!

Well, it’s got wheels Pop…

Brutus, this would be a good time to teach Wilberforce smoke signals.

Only Brutus Thonrapple would grill enough Shrimp, Steak and Salmon for crowd, when they are a crowd of three.

Me, I’m not getting that fancy, the St. Louis style ribs go on the smoker in 90 minutes.

Anything cooked outside is grub. :D

Looking at that grill, looks like it’s gonna be a pizza night.

Wow what a feast. Eat hearty Thornapples. And I hope that She Who Must Not Be Named doesn’t make an appearance.

The only person I know who ends up with more charcoal than he started with.

Cant’ speak for Wilberforce, but most kids his age would rather have a hot dog or a burger than steak, shrimp and salmon. My parents thought I was nuts… well, ok, I am, but I still asked for a hot dog when they had steaks. I have since outgrown that stage of my life… the hot dogs, not the “nuts”. : )

Looks like they’ll be having steak, shrimp and salmon Flambé . Talk about a carbon foot print.

What time is dinner Brutus? I’m on my way!

We call it chow in the Marines. Doesn’t matter if it is the chow hall, in the field with a delivered hot mean, or if you’re ripping open MREs. It’s chow.

Other than the menu, the conversation does give a feeling of hand and chuckwagon master.
