DR's BBQ Catering for Southern California and Orange County

New Years Resolutions!

I HATE New Years resolutions! Why? I consider the same if you help feed some needy people on Thanksgiving or Christmas. Don’t they have needs the rest of the year? Okay that doesn’t make sense….Why not just start your resolution June 15th? If you want or need to make changes why not just start right at the moment you think about them?

So to contradict what I just wrote I now give you my New Years Resolutions!

2. Have our rub for sale on our site by February 1st. I finally found a company that makes it the way I want it. You would be amazed how difficult this is.

3. Sauce! I’ve finally made sauce that I like. Get to try it on some guinea pigs this year…urr I mean catering customers. Then….

4. Compete in at least 5 BBQ contests. Would like to do more but have to start out being realistic. It does cost money to go to these and I have to consider it like going to Vegas. Whatever money you bring you have to think you will lose it but have fun in the process.

5. Have a BBQ business full time. My existing business, stripping for Chippendales, is starting to get more difficult as I get older. I can only cover up things with sauce for so long until people start to notice.

6. Half of what I eat coming from my garden. Been trying to do this the last 2 years. But I have a plan! Hmmm….didn’t I have a plan the previous 2 years. This year is different! Wait last year was different…

7. Camp and fish more. We usually go camping during our summer vacation but want to try getting back to nature a little more. I’ll start by not shaving my armpits and eating granola.

8. Try to promote real food to people. By real I mean something that doesn’t come pre-packaged from the store. Remember that recipe your Grandma made? Well make it! Don’t have time? Turn off that computer and cell phone and just do it! (Sorry Nike)

9. More family time. Everything I do is for my family. Even the fart jokes. You have never experienced joy as when you tell a joke and your son’s eyes light up. Almost as joyful as getting a note from his teacher saying he told that joke in class.

10. Number 10…oh what to put for number 10….lose 30 lbs? No, then that would negate several of the above….Go sky diving? Hell no… Run with the bulls? Boy this number 10 thing is really difficult! Any ideas?
