Smokehouse of the South

Summertime makes me think of some good ole barbecue. Luckily, we’ve got the best place in Florida, and we’re lucky enough to have it in our hometown. Bar-B-Q Jack’s, family owned business,  has been serving the residents of Margate for years and is honestly the best place to go for some delicious barbecue!

You can dine in,  visit the drive through, pick up, or even have it catered for a party. The hickory smoked meats are to die for and you can choose from: ribs, beef, pork, chicken, and even catfish.

Have you been to Bar-Q-Jack’s?

Sushi on a budget

So I’ve realized that my addiction to sushi has really started to bust my weekly budget. I’ve decided that my weekly sushi outing is going to turn into a great homemade meal. Of course sushi is a bit of an art and I’m still mastering my skills. The fun thing about making sushi at home is you get to be as creative as you’d like. Here are some sushi making tips.

Just relax. This first tip is the most important one of all. Sushi preparation (like anything) has a learning curve. You don’t have to knock yourself out making sushi – after all, it’s only for you and friends. Remember, sushi can be sloppy-looking and still taste good. So just relax and enjoy yourself!

Keep sticky rice out of the bedroom. Pick up the sticky, grains when they get stuck or dropped about, rinsing your hands frequently, or you’ll find sticky rice clinging to everything – and even tracking into the bedroom.

Resist the urge to overstuff. All beginners are tempted to put way too much rice and filling in their sushi rolls. What happens? The rolls don’t roll up, or they do roll up but then split open, ingredients squishing out all over the place. Think less is more – less is beautiful – and use a little less of everything.
