Ok, this might seem lame, but since about 2014 I have had an obsession with BBQ. To the point where I want to make a cookbook and possibly sell it. Or have a side business in the summer where I can cater parties and events. The problem is that takes a lot of money. In the summer I literally fire up my smoker once a week and make ribs, (sorry if you are vegetarian) pork shoulder, beef jerky, chops, bacon, chicken, and tons of different kinds of fish. I usually don't even eat most of it. I will just give it away to friends and family and see what they think. Or I will have people over and we will just eat all afternoon. My favorite things to make are ribs and fish. My family are avid fisherpeople, we go on trips in the summer to my Dad's fishing club in Southern Illnois. In the winter we go on ice fishing trips. That's right. Ice fishing. We go on a one week Ice fishing trip every year to different locations. I have been to Minnesota, North Dakota, and Wisconsin. To several different lakes in all of those states. We catch Walleye, Northen Pike, Crappie, Perch, Bluegill, Tulibee, Smallmouth Bass, Largemouth Bass, and Catfish. My dad and cousin and I all know how to clean them and we bag them and freeze the filets and bring them home every year. So during the summer I can smoke them or grill them, it's a lot of fun and delicious. I want to keep the ice fishing tradition going as long as I can.
