This is really a spring picture. Nothing says spring in New Jersey like soft cell crabs. I got this one live at Sun Farm Market (900 Easton Ave. Somerset NJ) back in May. I used to drive all the way down the shore to get ‘em. This little Asian market has a good fish market and a good variety of produce.
It’s not summer without funnel cake. At the Custer St. Fair in Evanston Il.
Summer is also for grilling and smoking. Here’s some smoked ribs and a smoked pork shoulder(and some red peppers). The pork shoulder was brined over night and smoked for 5 hours, then grilled for a short time to crisp up the skin. The Weber Bullet (Smokey Mountain Cooker Smoker) has been producing great stuff. See the Virtual Weber Bullet site has lots of good tips and modifications.
