When pigs fly.............

-

 Did you know that pigs have wings??  Neither did I !  Today's Adventures in Grilling features the Pig Wing.

A little backstory here.....

My neighbor and friend Ben Simon opened a Market in Pittsburg (shameless plug here!!) just as The Virus was shutting the small local businesses down.  Ben, his wife Tammy, son Bryce and dad Jerry have worked their tails off to establish the finest meat market in the area.   https://www.simonmarket.net/

My first purchases were GoRilla Kabobs.  Chicken breast loins with bacon wrapped around them on a kabob stick with ranch seasoning, GoRilla burgers - bacon wrapped cheese infused, seasoned hamburger patty that are about a half pound each.  (It's really hard for this Wildcat to buy products named for a monkey! {Ben is also a KSU grad}). Oh my stars!!!  These are AMAZING products!  I have tried most everything in the product line, and each is high quality and has amazing flavor.

On to the Pig Wings!!  One day Ben asked if I'd tried the Pig Wings yet.  

"Nope"

"You've got to try these.  They look gross, but they're amazing, and quickly rising to the top of our popular product list"

"OK, add a package to my pile"

As usual, he did not steer me wrong.  These are Delish!

This is Pig Wings, right out of the package.  Ben didn't lie, they do look gross!  I added some dry rub seasoning.  Wrapped them in foil and put them on the grill.  




About 30 minutes or so later, it's time to take them out of this package.

Now they look like this.  


Second step - Remove from this packet, and put them into another foil lined pan.  (Yes, I use (waste?!) a lot of tin foil, but I also don't like cleaning up the mess, so it just goes in the trash!)




I turn them over, so that the side that was down while cooking in the first step, is now up.

Add your favorite BBQ sauce.  I like this one.  Sometimes I make my own.  But bottled usually wins out! 






Then they go back onto the grill for 15-20 minutes or until the BBQ sauce is nice and thick and the Wings are sticky coated.  (Probably not a meal you want to serve on a first date if you're trying to make a good impression! They are messy! LOL)



Done!!!

Let's eat!

Utensils aren't really needed if you don't mind BBQ sauce all over your face and hands!

And there you have it - Pig Wings!

If I were serving these to a crowd, I'd serve these with sides such as Settler's Beans, corn on the cob, potato salad, but my fam isn't much for sides.  


Dessert is Triple Chocolate Chunk Cookies (actually, I think there are 4 kinds of choc in there plus the pecans.)  Small cookies, but very rich.  (And totally not on my approved foods list, but I tried one anyway!)







A few posts below this one is a recipe for ButterCrunch cookies.  I made them a while back.  I'd forgotten how much I love them too.  

Happy trails for now!

Dad's Pietenpol Dream - A Reality

The following article was written by my Dad's wife, Gloria. Dream of building, flying own airplane comes true for Ionia man By Gloria Garman-Schlaefli Dick Schlaefli, Ionia, has achieved his dream of building and flying his own airplane. It took 15 years to complete, but for Dick being able to now fly his Pietenpol Air Camper was well worth the long wait. Dick developed his love of flying during high school when his three uncles, Ray and Dan Richardson and Jim VanSickle, each had his own airplane and Dick would take frequent rides with them. His interest in flying continued into college and while attending Fort Hays State University, he took lessons and earned his pilot's license. He built model airplanes and did control line flying with them, but hoped some day to be able to fly in his own airplane. It was in a magazine article that he first learned about the Pietenpol airplane. He learned that Bernard Pietenpol designed and built the first Air Camper, in 1929 in Cherry Grov

Sixteen years ago

Sixteen years ago today there was a terrible ice storm across Kansas. Sixteen years ago today there was also a wedding in the United Methodist Church in Cawker City, Kansas. That's where Plowboy and Plowgirl officially became PlowFamily! I'm glad that life has led us down the path that it has. We have a good life and a great little family. Enjoy a "through the years" review in pictures. Engagement picture Wedding Day taken for the Successful Farming article in 1999 taken for Church directory in 2007 Christmas 2008

A day in the life......................

-
of me......during planting season. Most days go something like this: Up and at 'em after the "birthday's" on the morning show. (Ok, so 6:47 isn't really that early in the whole scheme of things!) Check email, facebook, newspapers. Off to a shower. Wake up Plowbaby and Plowboy, and get both moving. (not necessarily an easy feat!) Change the channel to "toonies" for Plowbaby, and try to get her to eat some breakfast and change her clothes and get ready for work/school. The goal is for her and I to be out the door BY 9. Again, I know....not real early.....but YOU haven't tried to get Miss Pokey around in the morning! Also in the mean time, get some laundry going, and dishes cleaned up from the night before. Drive up to the farm (or the last field from last night) to find the empty NH3 tanks from the night before. Hook up and head toward AgChoice. This is if I haven't already been sent on 3 other missions, before even hooking up the first t
