Can Daddy Cook?

Can Daddy Cook? The short answer is no, at least not this Daddy. At least, not yet. But *can* I (Daddy) middle aged, married full-time software developer, learn to contribute to family meals? That is my quest.

I am not going to sugar coat it, I looked at a recipe and had to ask my wife what granular sugar was, and if we had any. As a computer geek, I am sure it was to her like someone asking me where the 'any' key is, except she handled the question much more gracefully.

My contribution to cooking so far had revolved around outdoor grills. You know, the manly stuff. Sure I use the gas grill a lot, but I have 'manly' charcoal grills too. Determined to find some artificial motivation, I decided to get a real manly cooking device, a smoker! Other than digging a BBQ pit in the ground, or cooking a whole pig rotisserie style over and fire, I think the smoker ranks pretty high up there.

So what smoker did I choose? Will I succeed? Stay tuned. Either way, it will be interesting.
