Carne-val 2010
Oh glory of glories, it's Carne-val time once again, the celebration of everything that is meat! While last year's feast focused on many varieties of meat, this year honed in on the swine, and a lot of it. A whopping 27 pounds of raw hog—divided equally between ribs and butts—went into the smoker and emerged many hours later as some of finest barbecue one can find (at least around these city parts). Despite some rainfall, most made it out to revel in the meat and make this year's Carne-val fantastic.

Meativersary
Whew, time has flown! It was only a year ago that I was wed in Holy Meatrimony, and our first Meativersary in already upon us. Sounds like a call for a party to me! Party down we did this past weekend, Meatwave style, with one wave of grilled party food after another in celebration of the union between of husband, wife, and meat.

Meat-a-thon
Last year a couple Meatwavers maxed out on meat and booze and found themselves incapacitated to make the arduous journey from Queens to Manhattan. So they spent the night and as we all slowly awoke the next morning I got to thinking, what could be a better cure for a meat hangover than more meat! Unfortunately I was unprepared that day, but born was the idea of the Meat-a-thon—an all out meat eating weekend. This past weekend was the first of the Meat-a-thons, which I hope will be become a yearly traditions, that spanned two days, three world cup games, and what seemed to be endless waves of meat.

Meat in the Middle
Nothing stops the meat! That's my mantra through rain, sleet, or snow—the meat must go on. The proof came through quite clearly at Meat in the Middle, when a passing shower became a soaking rain for the whole afternoon. Through the downpour, the meat never stopped rolling off the grill, with everyone getting their fair share of meat between two buns in the end.

The Meating of Life
The quest for the meaning of life starts and ends here. Those countless spent philosophizing of that one pesky question is laughable to us Meatwavers, because we know and have always known the only true answer—Meat! That's right, life is and will always be all about the meat, and that's exactly what we rejoiced in this past weekend as we devoured 3 racks of ribs, 2 beer-can chickens, and a mess of beans cooked with a pound of bacon.
