Speaker 2
Oh nice. Yeah we are always around each others has doing BBQ's and things like that. Do you get to see yours often? 
Speaker 1
Not that often. Everyone kind of drifted away as they got older. At least we have Facebook! 
Speaker 2
Yeah that happens often. But yeah technology is a massive help. Especially things like facetime. 
Speaker 1
Have you been having more cookouts lately now that the weather is nicer?
Speaker 2
Yes we do at least two a week at my house. I love cooking and would do it more often. Grilling food is so much fun and it also smells amazing. Do you ever do cookouts? 
Speaker 1
Yep! I like BBQing on the weekends. It's nice to relax in the backyard with a nice, juicy burger. I think we're doing ribs this weekend! You're free to come over, if you'd like.
Speaker 2
That is so right, nothing is better than a nice juicy burger. Oooohh Ribs sound perfect i may have to make some next time.
Speaker 1
They're delicious. I'm trying my grandad's bbq recipe. I'm excited! If they come out right, they will slip right off the bone and be completely messy. 
Speaker 2
Oh nice I wish i had my Grandma's recipe her ribs were the best. My brother probably makes the best in my family.

My younger brother is thinking of moving closer to me, that would be so much fun!
Speaker 2
Wow! Family barbecue time! When will he decide?
Speaker 1
Right? Soon I hope. I just have to not get my hopes too high. How are things on the houseboat?
Speaker 2
Not bad, but to be honest I don't see it enough because I've been working a lot more. I have a few days off in a row next week, though. Can't wait.
Speaker 1
So the bar has busy? Selling lots of barbecue?
Speaker 2
Lots of parties we've been hosting, actually. I guess it's the time of year when everyone wants to rent out the space. Good money, though!
Speaker 1
That's awesome. All that time spent working will make the family time that much more special. Have you gotten to try the barbecue at your work?
Speaker 2
Yeah! I'm also experimenting with some new rubs and trying them out at these parties. Good feedback so far. How about you? Any recipes you want to share?
Speaker 1
Nothing off the top of my head, but I'll definitely let you know if I end up having to prepare a "Welcome Home" cookout. I wonder if your grandmother and my grandfather knew each other.
Speaker 2
Wouldn't that be funny? The older I get, the more I realize what a small world it is, so it wouldn't surprise me.
Speaker 1
Nothing brings people together like barbecue! So what's next after college? Think your time at bar may be winding down?
Speaker 2
I've been thinking about that, but I'm kind of enjoying drifting along for now. How about you? Changes in your future?

Speaker 1
It seems like my brother will be moving in nearby! Will you be able to come to a cookout next weekend?
Speaker 2
No way would I miss a cookout! Is there anything I can bring?
Speaker 1
I would love to try your grandmother's rib recipe if that is something you would be willing to share! It sounds delicious. Have you been working on any new kinds of barbecue sauce lately?
Speaker 2
Sure, I'll look it up and email it to you. I've been experimenting with a lot of Carolina-style vinegar based sauces, but haven't really settled on anything I'm happy with yet.
Speaker 1
That sounds really interesting though! If you come up with a good one, feel free to bring it to the cookout! Wouldn't it be fun to do some kind of taste test there or something?
Speaker 2
Yeah, that would be great! Maybe a sampler of all different regional styles.
Speaker 1
I love that idea! No pressure though if you don't have it ready next weekend. There will be plenty of times for us to have cookouts together! Have you had any this weekend?
Speaker 2
I smoked a brisket with dry rub. I kind of hate cooking brisket though because so much of it's fat. You like to cook brisket -- is there anything you can do with the fat to keep from wasting it?
Speaker 1
I always leave a little less than a quarter of an inch of fat on the top side, but nothing more than that. I think trimming it is important beforehand. You can also store the fat and use it to cook other things throughout the week to make them more flavorful. Have you done that before?
Speaker 2
No. Maybe I'll try using it to add fat to venison and other wild meats. I could also make a lot of suet bird feeders, LOL.
Speaker 1
That's too funny! Try that and let me know how it goes, LOL. What other wild meats are you thinking of cooking up?
Speaker 2
Elk or buffalo. I also just remembered plum pudding and mine pie call for suet, so there's that!
