My dad is an avid photographer from way back. Growing up, he even had a darkroom in the basement.

Now, every time he and my mom visit he brings the camera and usually snaps off a couple shots of Camden – just for fun.

My dad sent me some photos he took of the party. These photos are really, really good.

The party is over. The house cleaned. Nicole and Greg have recovered. Mostly. Here are some early photos with more to follow we’re sure.

Created a new website to announce the date for Porkapolloza II: High on the Hog. You can check out the details over at releasethecracklins.com.

My hope is to find some time to build out a quick site to post all the information on this year’s big BBQ party being held on Saturday, July 31st.

I’d love some feedback on what information you’d like to see available on the site…

Great Sunday supper dish that’s about the easiest thing in the world to make. Slow Cooker and bottle of beer. Plenty of time to drink the rest of the beer.

Getting up every day at 5:45am for work can be tough. However, I just discovered that waking up at 3 in the morning to put a pork shoulder on my WSM isn’t so bad.
