So back in September or October of 2013, I ventured into the wonderful world of smoking...BBQ smoking, not cigarette smoking! Those days are long behind me...

Anyway, I started smoking because I inexplicably wanted to go back to grilling with charcoal, after years of using a standard propane gas grill.

One of my all-time favorite snacks at Costco is the Philippine Brand Dried Mangos. To this day, I have yet to find dried mangos that are so sweet, so juicy, and so flavorful. Come to think of it, it&#39;s weird that their &quot;dried&quot; mangos are so juicy...

I love steak.  I love grilling.  At heart, I&#39;m a charcoal guy, but for year-round grilling convenience, I use the Weber Q that my wife bought for me last Christmas.  And as an annual tradition for my family, we had some nice Christmas steak for our holiday dinner.
