Happiness is redneck English on "The Grillin' Guys" radio program
"Happy holidays to ya. It's a great time to be a grillin' guy. Mother nature's favoring us with some inclemently warm weather so there's plenty of time to get out in your backyard and cook for your family and friends."
Catch the podcast for December 19th here.
Clement or inclement, I'm from Wisconsin, so if it's Sunday, I'm grillin' . . . on charcoal.

AP investigation discovers slaves in Thailand peel our shrimp, so buy American instead
From the story here:
"U.S. customs records show the shrimp made its way into the supply chains of major U.S. food stores and retailers such as Wal-Mart, Kroger, Whole Foods, Dollar General and Petco, along with restaurants such as Red Lobster and Olive Garden.
"It also entered the supply chains of some of America's best-known seafood brands and pet foods, including Chicken of the Sea and Fancy Feast, which are sold in grocery stores from Safeway and Schnucks to Piggly Wiggly and Albertsons. AP reporters went to supermarkets in all 50 states and found shrimp products from supply chains tainted with forced labor.
"European and Asian import and export records are confidential, but the Thai companies receiving shrimp tracked by the AP all say they ship to Europe and Asia as well."
Fight slavery. Source your shrimp from US waters. It will say so right on the package.
