To drink beer and grill it up
Without shivering

Sipping a cold beer

Bacon Lattice

Any recipe
That includes “bacon lattice”
Has got to be good

Written by Captain Hops.

References: How’s this for some fun: Raspberry Chipotle Marinated Spiral Stuffed Pork Loin with a Bacon Lattice. You bring the beer, I will build the bacon lattice. Mmmm… bacon lattice…

Speaking of bacon and beer. Clipper City is throwing their Beer and Bacon Festival in a couple of weeks. If you are in the Baltimore area, you should see if there are any tickets left.

As the grill heats up
And the pork loin marinates
I marinate too

Perfect Timing

Put burgers on grill.
Drink a beer. Turn them over.
Drink a beer. They’re done.
