They call me ... Sarcasmo
J.O. is good for cooking but too salty for dipping.


Come at me bro.

@vraiblonde I think I'm going to tackle a brisket this spring, on a day when I can prop my feet up on the cooler and wet a line.

Yeah depending on the politics .... moving Red to Blue being a Red is a political culture shock
When I arrived in SOMD late last century, I had no idea of the political culture. It's not like they have billboards or other ways to announce political leanings.

oh, is southern Maryland very blue? maryland itself I understood to be rather purple, and the city of Houston is itself rather purple, too (with plenty of voices on either side making themselves heard).

Just to cover my bases: my politics are rather centrist and don’t dictate much in terms of where or how I live; is that not the case in southern maryland? Usually I’m referred to as something of a slightly left libertarian by friends who know more about politics than me. Really, though, I don’t quite care. Glad to meet you all either way, though! (Of course I welcome friendly political discussions!)

I AM grateful for all the other replies to this thread, btw and will do my best to respond to them.

I smoked one last weekend that is the best I've done yet. Seems you have to creep up on getting brisket right...my first one was so tough it was barely edible. That was years ago though...

Just sneakin' around....
That's my fear... I've never done a whole brisket on the grill/smoker, and it's an expensive piece of meat to screw up.

Maryland as a state is as blue as it gets - don't let that Republican in the Governor's mansion fool you. St. Mary's is a military county, which tends to be more conservative, but it's also a college area full of idealistic liberals, so I think purple is accurate. On here - the forums - we lean to the right of center, with a handful of extremists (depending on what you consider extreme) on either side to keep the arguments and name calling hopping. :jet:

I didn't even mention it in my initial response because if you're coming from Houston you won't have any political adjustment to speak of.

For outdoorsy stuff, there is plenty of hunting, fishing, boating, sailing & crabbing.

For culture, southern Maryland has yogurt.
Au contraire.... the river front concerts forcibly exposed many of us to real culture. And we once had Rose's..

Don't let the Republican Gov. fool you, yes southern and western counties are Red ... the State Politics are dictated by Montgomery County, Baltimore, and Baltimore County, Howard and Prince Georges ... this state has a list of naughty firearms citizens are not allowed to possess .. Conceled Carry is a May Issue - in other words you have beg your masters for privilege's and you are required to PROVE you have a need

PG County went 80% for Hillary in 2016

Me leaning slightly right....... Jokes aside, you'll find the full gamut. With a Prius with GReenpeace stickers, you might get coal rolled now and again by the Good Ol Boy contingent. :)
