For me smoke tastes better, the difference between smoking, charcoal, and gas, doesn’t matter, I like the smoke flavor better

Rarely do we talk about side dishes for Cookouts.
Here in America, we like, Macaroni salad, baked beans, potato salad, pasta salad, and different kinds of casserole
Good point!
One of my favouritves is deviled eggs!
I could eat these til I’m sick. I can’t remember the last time I had some of these, but, man, are they delicious!
Macaroni salad! Mmmmm. I could eat a couple bowls of this stuff.
Same goes for potato salad. For some reason, just about every potato salad tastes the same. Are all macaroni and potatoes salads created equal?
What cookout is complete without this song?

I’m pretty sure I’ve never had homemade baked beans. It never ever even occurred to me to make baked beans at home. I’ve only had them in the can. And they’re amazing! Next to tuna, this is probably my favourite canned food.
@SmallPaul Do you have any cookout favourite side dishes? Any favourite casseroles?

Don’t have any special dinnerware for when guests come over?
This company is…interesting. One of their soup bowls cost $45. How in the world does a single bowl cost $45? Is it laced with gold dust? Nope. But it is custom-made, by hand.
This site is more affordable.
However, if your trading is going well, maybe you got a payout from a proprietary firm, and you wanna treat yourself…try some porcelain dishes!
Porcelain is often more expensive. Why?
Stoneware, porcelain, bone china. Which one is best? Well, it depends which suits you better.

I forgot to mention Devil Eggs, How could I forget devil eggs when it’s my favorite side dish out of the ones I mentioned. 
As for casseroles, I only eat them when people bring them or when I go to cookouts

The baked beans I have eaten always come from a can but were spiced up, with brown sugar, bacon, etc

I think if you’re going that far, you may as well make the beans from scratch. Why not?
I get it, though. It saves time.
That final product looks great, though. I didn’t expect the hot sauce.

America’s meat is toxic.
No Meat For 30 Days…shocking health impact.
As a doctor, I believe diets should be seen as tools, not a one-size-fits-all solution. Here, I discuss the potential benefits of cutting out meat for 30 days, particularly for those with certain conditions.
This approach could be helpful if you have inflammatory issues, a cardiac incident, or cancer. By consuming a plant-based diet rich in nutrients, you may alleviate inflammation, improve cardiovascular health, or boost your immune system.

That’s an interesting view. Cleansing diets are a good choice.

I had just learned about this a few minutes ago. I had never heard of shared kitchens before. There’s a big space that is shared between various entrepreneurial members. They share equipment that they otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford on their own. There’s also mentorship available.
Apparently, there are shared spaces for various industries and businesses.

My dentist recently told me that long ago fluoride was added to the water because towns with fluoride in their natural water source had better oral hygiene than towns whose water did not naturally have fluoride.
So, now fluoride is added to the water because ingesting water with fluoride helps the body produce stronger teeth. The fluoride bonds with the calcium and fortifies it.
I hope I got that right.
However, I just found a study that demonstrates an inverse correlation between IQ and fluoridated water.

However, this article says canola oil is healthy.
Gary Brecka is talking about how bad canola oil is. Is he exposing a hidden truth? Or is he wrong? Or is the above article wrong?

I haven’t researched canola oil enough but I was shocked to hear this about virgin oil.
You’re Buying Fake Olive Oil…Here’s How To Avoid It!
The majority of extra virgin olive oil on the grocery store is fake! That means the oil rancid, cut with cheaper oils, and does not meet the requirements to be extra virgin olive oil. Stick with single origin extra virgin olive oil from a trusted source, I would only buy a handful of olive oil brands to cook with, most of them are talked about in this video. Hope you find this helpful!

I assume anything with the word oil in it can’t be good for the body, some might be safer than others.

How much more expensive is it to eat healthy vs unhealthy?
“While healthier diets did cost more, the difference was smaller than many people might have expected. Over the course of a year, $1.50/day more for eating a healthy diet would increase food costs for one person by about $550 per year. This would represent a real burden for some families, and we need policies to help offset these costs. On the other hand, this price difference is very small in comparison to the economic costs of diet-related chronic diseases, which would be dramatically reduced by healthy diets.”
Here are some tips for eating healthy on a budget:
- Plan your meals for the week. Create a shopping list based on your healthy meal plan. Sticking to a list will prevent you from mindlessly grabbing unhealthy alternatives, like fried freezer food. Don’t forget to check online and grocery mobile apps for coupons ahead of time to save extra money.
- Buy frozen fruits and vegetables. Frozen produce retains almost all of its nutritional value. Plus, it can help reduce food waste by giving you more time to eat it. Most fresh produce only has a shelf life of a few days, but frozen produce can extend that window for up to one year. Saving you money over time.
- Cut up your own fruits and vegetables. Although pre-cut produce can be more convenient, it can also be a lot more expensive. For example, a 16 oz package of pre-cut pineapple chunks costs around $4. Whereas, a whole pineapple only costs $2.
- Buy in bulk. Stores like Costco and Sam’s Club have quality food staples that can be purchased in large quantities for less. Consider buying your meats in bulk and freezing portions until you’re ready to consume them.
- Read the labels. There are many hidden ingredients in our food. Just because a label on the front of a product markets it as healthy, doesn’t mean it truly is. Start by looking at the first three ingredients listed on the label. These will represent the bulk of what you’ll be consuming. Try to choose items that have whole foods included at the beginning of the list. And avoid ones that have refined grains, sugars or hydrogenated oils as their main ingredients.
- Skip organic. Organic foods will quickly run up your grocery bill. If your budget is tight, opt for conventionally farmed fruits and vegetables. Keep in mind that products labeled as “contains organic ingredients” doesn’t automatically mean it’s a healthier alternative.
- Cook large batches and store portions. Embrace the art of having leftovers. Save money by making large portions of healthy meals and eating leftovers for your next meal or freezing them for meals later down the road.
The pros and cons of eating out. I have a friend who prefers eating out to cooking at home. He doesn’t cook at all. It’s his choice. While there are arguments that eating at home costs a lot of time, a key factor is quality control. Any restaurant you go to, their priority is flavor, not nutrition. Eating healthy while eating out is more challenging than eating healthy at home because you have 100% control at home.

Well, I was shocked earlier today when I looked at the olive oil that I usually buy, and I saw that it’s sourced from several countries. That’s not a good sign. Multi-sourced oil is more likely to be mixed with old oil and different oils, as per the video.
Next time I buy olive oil, I’ll be checking labels, for sure. @SmallPaul Thanks for sharing that video!
