Barbie-Que "Q" Giammanco. We adopted Q from Wayside Waifs on May 2, 2010. We call her Q because whenever I see the word "Que" I think of the Spanish pronunciation "Kay" which means "What" in English. So we went with "Q" to avoid all confusion with our Latino friends. Click here for a video of Q.

Holly with Q

The dog has this odd habit of laying on her back and will just stay in that position for like 5 minutes. We call it 'Dead Dog' position. What a lady she is. She enjoys a good belly rub, which is Holly's favorite thing to do.

Hi Q! Welcome home!

BBQ Pork Shoulder

Made BBQ this weekend for a party.  Cooked the meat on the smoker for 6 hours using pear and apple wood for smoke and mixed in oak for heat.  After, 6 hours put the meat in individual foil pans and covered tightly.  Cooked the meat for another 10 hours until temp read ~ 210 degrees.  Shoulder benefits from overcooking as long as it is low and slow.  Watch Video.  It turned out great.  Will be repeating the technique.
