Music Thursday: Workingman's Dead Cumberland Blues

Well I have been very absent from the blog lately. If it weren't for my partner in crime BP coming strong with the BBQ Sauce of the Week, the Ulika faithful would be left with an empty rss feed. It is not that there has been a lack of activity around here, in fact it is probably the opposite. Here are some things that I intended to blog about but didn't:

High on the Hog - we finished 10th out of 47 teams

I attended my first Southern Foodways Alliance event - Potlikker Film Festival at City House. See the Bites recap here.

I attended the Pellet Envy competition bbq class in Lebanon.

I started my CSA with Avalon Acres, and I planted 6 tomato plants.

and most importantly I survived the flood of 2010. This flood has been a crazy experience, and there are several sites that have documented it way better than I ever could. All I am going to do is bring you a tune with an appropriate title Cumberland Blues:

Ulika BBQ Update: New Logo

We are going into our 5th season of competition bbq and we felt that it was time for a new logo. We wanted to have something that branded us more as a competition bbq team. The Mrs. did her magic and we present to you this:

Where you been?

I guess you can tell that updating the blog more frequently was not one of my New Years resolutions, but I will try to do better.


Here are some things to look forward to in 2010
The opening of the new Martin's BBQ - ummmm whole hog is coming to Middle Tennessee
Taquería tour down Nolensville Rd - with a fully functional map to guide you along the way
The first bbq contest of the year - Smoke on the Water in Little Rock with $100,000 up for grabs
and more of your favorites from BBQ Sauce of the Week and Friday Night Slice

Since it is Thursday, I will leave you with this:
R.I.P Vic

On Vacation

Post will resume next week. There will be some exciting new features coming to the blog this fall, and stay tuned for proof that I still cook bbq.

Clarksville this week

This will be a light posting week with Clarksville coming up on Friday. I am getting the trailer ready and trying to remember how to cook everything. Stay tuned for a full report from Clarksville.

We will announce a winner for the BBQ Sauce of the Week later today.
