For the past month or so I've been trying different barbecue sauces in hopes of finding a new favorite. So far no luck. We used Sweet Baby Ray's for quite a while, but I don't like it anymore.
Any suggestions? Do you have a favorite barbecue sauce??? Or perhaps a secret family recipe you'd like to share? I promise not to tell anyone about it. It'll be our secret!!!
My mom had a great recipe, but I have no idea what was in it. I only know I used to cut fresh mint for my dad to use to brush it on whatever he was grilling. She probably got the recipe from the back of a worcestershire sauce bottle...or perhaps worcester sauce. =)
It's Memorial Day weekend in the US, a time for barbecues, honoring those who have given their lives for our country, and paying respects to deceased loved ones. Weather permitting, I like to carry on my dad's tradition of sprucing up our family gravesites on M-Day, making sure the markers remain visible. It's a small thing, but important.
Have a good weekend!
PS - With summer about to return to the northern hemisphere, we're seeing the usual increase in petty street crime in DC--mostly teens snatching phones, iPods, etc. That made my commute home tonight more exciting than it needed to be, When you're out, remember to pay at least as much attention to your surroundings as to your gadgets.
Oh man, I have two bottles of barbecue sauce in my fridge, different brands, and I can't tell the difference. Is there really a difference? ^^
ReplyDeletePlease don't ask that if you visit the southern US, because "them's fightin' words"! Devoted fans (which I am not) of a particular variety will argue that it is the only "true" sauce.
DeleteMang Tomas barbecue sauce..heheh.
ReplyDeleteits also summer here so barbecue and grilling are quite famous..hehhe
Hot and spicy sounds good!
DeleteHmmmm we rarely bbq so I cannot make a recommendation! So sorry... I really love to eat at Weber grill, I wonder if they have any bbq sauces available in grocery stores or online??
ReplyDeleteThey do sell a line of sauces and rubs on-line. I'll check them out this summer. Thanks for the tip!!!
Deletehope you had a great memorial day with lots of barbeques while I'm stuck working here! haha
ReplyDeleteIt was a nice 3-day weekend. The highlights were seeing the Avengers and not working! Hope you had a good weekend!
Deletethe only barbecue sauce our family love is soy sauce and calamansi juice..♥
ReplyDeletejust a quick visit!
Deletehey Rick! How's your three day weekend? I hope it was a good one for ya. I love my mom's barbecue but up to now she still won't share it with me. She says she will share the recipe when I become a mommy one day. hahahaha
ReplyDeleteHi Mel! Tell your mom I'll keep it a secret. =) I wish I'd asked my mom for her recipe. But we thought there would be time for that.
DeleteYes - my favourite barbecue sauce is from Rudy's (http://www.rudysbbq.com/store/c-2-sause.aspx). They ship and it's totally worth it!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tip! I'm going to start with 2 of each--which is a little selfish, no one else in the family likes spicy.
DeleteThe smoked meats look pretty good too!
*gasp* You don't like Sweet Baby Ray's anymore? It's still my fave. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it will work it's way back into the rotation. Just needed a change. =)
