Sunday Sunrise at Heritage! 🌅

It’s been a little while, but we’re back at it!

Great morning at Heritage with Snowy Egrets, Wood Storks, a Tricolored Heron, an Ibis and a White-eyed Vireo making an appearance.

Now back home with some OTT (Over the Top) chili rolling on the smoker! 🔥

Birds in the morning, smoke in the afternoon. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday!

2nd place!!! 🥈

Celebrating a great competition day with a Burial B**r Co. – Until There Is No Longer.

COMP DAY. 🍺🔥

The smokers have been rolling, the cheese is melted, and the pork belly is ready.

Today’s entry: Pork Belly B**r Mac-n-Cheese — smoked mac & cheese made with Fonta Flora Nebo Pilsner, topped with pork belly burnt ends glazed in a BBQ sauce made with Fonta Flora Märzen.

A little b**r. A little smoke. A whole lot of cheese.

Now we put it in front of the judges and see what happens.

B**r. Smoke. Birds.

Labor Day dinner done right. 🔥🍗

Smoked BBQ chicken, grilled corn on the cob, zucchini, and okra.

The only thing that didn’t hit the grill or smoker was the slaw.

Simple. Good. Exactly how Labor Day should be.

Sunday Sunrise ➡️ Sunday Supper

Started the day with an awesome Osprey shot. 📸

Ended it over the grill with NY strips and baked potatoes. 🥩🔥

No b**r tonight… sometimes steak is enough.

Birds in the morning. Smoke in the evening. That’s a pretty damn good Sunday.

📍 Cantina Imperfecto

Anniversary + birthday dinner last night, and this one was a winner.

On the table:
🍽 Steak burrito bowl
🍽 Molcajete

In the glass:
🥃 Oaxaca Old Fashioned

Food was great, service was just as good, and the Oaxaca Old Fashioned definitely hit the mark.

The verdict: ⭐️ 4.5/5

We’ll absolutely be going back.

Sunday Sunrise 🐦

Another early morning out with the camera, and another great mix of birds.

This morning’s lineup:
• Osprey
• Loggerhead Shrike
• Tricolored Heron
• Green Heron
• Wood Stork

The Shrike was definitely a nice surprise this morning. Never know what’s going to show up when you get out early.
