My Gosh - sooooo many great looking entries!

This TD might require a solid look at the ingredients lists....folks are sneaking great flavs into every nook and cranny!!!

It's hard for me, with these ingredients...they just don't meld in my mind! But after making mine...I totally get it!
Now I can seriously read the other entries and totally drool over what they've done!!!! TOO MUCH FUUUUN! :D
 
Nice first entry there, DR!

But 'splain yo-sef - that's your 4th post, and you actually posted correctly. You been spying on us for a while? ;)
 
Will have to post up tomorrow...been making my own BBQ sauce for years...and this evening, I FAILED.

I still have enough homemade PB...I'm going to revert back to a classic naga-BBQ sauce of mine which uses eeeewheeeeskeees and sub apples for the peaches...then add the PB. Yes...that's what I'll do...
 
Post that shite up geeme. It's all good in da hood.
