Poll: Wife's gone... what to cook!?
So the wife is driving down to Florida with the in-laws to help them move into their new home. I am all alone with several smokers so what do I cook!!?

Usually when the wife is gone, I just go down to Costco and get a full, bone-in rib roast. When I am hungry, I just slice off a steak and throw it on the grill. If she's gone for more than two days, then I have to go get another.

My wife has a narrow range of foods that she'll eat (compared to me at least!), so whenever she's away I'll take the opportunity to cook something that I enjoy that she wouldn't eat. If any of the poll selections fit that bill for you, then go for it!

My wife CANNOT eat beef for medical reasons. I figure I will def be doing a porterhouse with baked potato and mushrooms. She doesn't like wings so that will be another night. I love the idea of picking up a roast and just cutting off steaks as I get hungry!

Yeah, that's why I don't like bacon...not enough meat in a strip of bacon to make it worth my while!

Perfect... So save the Brisket and the Chuckie for the weekend - everything else is a quick cook!
