Hello everyone!  Hope the week finds everyone well!  

This Saturday we have an extra special treat for all of you gearing up for the grilling season - enjoying the afternoons lingering to twilight, hanging out with friends and family, brewskie in hand and grill fired up.  This year try grilling out with a "smokin" twist with our pecan wood chips.  And you don't need a smoker to enjoy the delicious smokey pecan flavor added to of your favorite foods. 

Or if you want the flavor sans the grilling - try our Pecan Smoked Pecans this week - a Savage-Power creation the boys "smoked up" while enjoying a relaxing Spring evening and a round of horseshoes down by the pond...you can almost taste the leisure and relaxation - a little sample of the dog days to come...

And read on to discover just how to do SIY ("Smoke It Yourself) and more of what you'll find at our table this week...oh! AND a gallery opening in the wings too!

how to....

Pecan Wood Chips - smoking on the grill....
  • THE EASY WAY.... sprinkle some Pastures of Rose Creek Pecan Wood Chips over your charcoals to add that savory pecan smoked flavor.
  • THE MORE SOPHISTICATED WAY....
  1. Prepare the gas barbecue for the desire temperature. For long slow-cooked meats like baby back pork ribs or beef brisket, use a lower temperature, such as 250 degrees F. For meats that cook quickly, like burgers, steaks and sausages, use medium-high to high heat.
  2. Place the wood chips in a disposable aluminum broiler pan. These pans are available at most supermarkets.
  3. Set the broiler pan over one burner at one end of the barbecue. Once the wood chips smolder, reduce the heat under the broiler pan to low or turn it off so the wood chips smolder slowly and continually. Keep all the other burners on.
  4. Use an oven thermometer or the built-in thermostat on your barbecue to help regulate the temperature of the barbecue.
  5. Close the barbecue cover until the desired temperature of your barbecue is reached, then place the meats on the grill at the opposite end from the smoldering wood chips and cook. For longer grilling times, add more soaked wood chips to the broiler pan as needed.

Calling all pottery lovers, admirers and enthusiasts!...Bradford Pottery is now open for business!  Stop on by to check out John's new gallery space in the heart of Bishop...can't miss it - right across the street from "Antique Road" on 441...big blue building with "POTTERY" spelled out in neat, white letters.  

The gallery is stocked with beautiful earthy pieces from John's latest anagama wood firing plus some new eye catching pieces from his recent gas firing.  Also, fellow potter and former tenant of the space - Dottie Schaefer - will be showcased there.

In addition to the gallery space, John has a beautiful open studio - where interested parties can view the magical, mesmerizing process of throwing on a wheel and soon will be able to take classes themselves (in the process of acquiring more wheels - anyone out there know of any for sale?).

The GRAND OPENING is tentatively planned for the evening of May 11  - we will keep you posted!  It will certainly be a worthwhile and fun event!

Jeff Dantzler's arrests may be the best thing that ever happened to him

THis has next to nothing to do with Oconee County with the possible exception of the location of his former office, but a former colleague of mine on the radio got popped today for four counts. Any one who has listened to 960 the Ref AM sports talk radio or heard the UGA Lady Dawgs or men's baseball team has surely heard the encyclopedic knowledge of one Jeff Dantzler. Jeff and I are pretty much diametrically opposed poltically, but today he was arrested on four counts including DUI. I hope he gets the help he needs following his incarceration. I work for a lawyer who could help him out if he does not having someone already representing him. This man is a great broadcaster and I hope this arrest serves as a wake-up call for him and his rock and roll lifestyle. I live a far from perfect life myself but long ago and far away I learned how and when not to drink. Now we will be without he dulcet tones on Lady Bulldog broadcasts as well as on Georgia baseball games and also on the after...

A deep wound waiting to be healed - restoring order and dignity in the city cemetery

Image
The Watkinsville City Cemetery is an oasis amidst the houses on the east side of the municipality, near the neighborhood once called Sidney. There is a large section of the cemetery that remains a mystery, but perhaps we can work together to dignify the eternal resting spot somewhat better than the current neglected and forgotten (not to mention unmarked) graves of 70 people, more than likely of African-American descent. They deserve to be honored as well. An effort has been undertaken to repair the graves with fill dirt to stop the continued erosion amongst the graves. The most recent grave and bench belong to Larry Sheats,  and as any one who played basketball at Herman C. Michael Park or knew him otherwise  can attest, he was among the best people this county has ever seen. Larry was always ready to help. Now it is our turn to help. Do it for someone you knew there, maybe the Hardens, or the Downs, or any number of other people, but allow me to reminisce about how L...

I strongly disagree with the impending demolishing of the iconic Watkinsville Water Tower

Image
I know the Watkinsville Water Tower near where the "Big Spring" of what was one called Big Springs, Georgia serves no functional purpose anymore. I know it is a hazard. I know it is rusty and old and past its usefulness for the most part. I see a purpose beyond the aesthetic and instead as a possible financial benefit.  I know there is a way to keep it and make money for our municipality. I wonder who is doing the seemingly shoddy job of removing it (or at least preparing to raze it) and who stands to make money off that?  The dismantling of the Watkinsville Water Tower has already caused one gas leak and I can only imagine what problems await the demolition of the dinosaur.  If it is only because a group of kids have been crawling up it, then build a fence around it. I would think the City of Watkinsville would benefit and making monthly lease fees if they would instead do what about 90% of these abandoned water towers do and that is become a cellular telephone tow...
