Looking out of my window lots of swallows have decended on the telegraph wires. They sat long enough for me to count them - 38 will you believe? Yesterday I took my life in my own hands coming out of the door as they were dive bombing around the house as fast as lightening. Just amazing. Anne Miles,

I put pulled pork and chorizo empanadas on the app menu last week and they have been flying out of the kitchen. Dave Annie,

Sauces, incredients, fuel for the bbq--it goes on and on. The best part is the eating, of course. What wood do you use in your smoker? Annie @Dave,

You can drink a lot of beer while smoking pork butt. Serious side, it is a Southern delicacy. Many fights have broken out about the proper methods (pipe vs paper etc). Once it's done, you have the starter for 100's of dishes - all of them outstanding. Americans argue about BBQ like English argue about cheese and French argue about everything non-French.

Do you use a pipe, or just roll it in paper? Annie @ Dave: Wouldn’t it be more pleasurable (if not healthy) to smoke tobacco rather than pork butt? Do you use a pipe, or just roll it in paper?

A truly great shot. Sad to think that we're eradicating these guys' natural feeding grounds with our convenience chemicals. No wonder conservationists implore us to encourage them into our own garden spaces. GDave Miles,
