Certain abilities are writ into the Southern woman’s genetic code. When the women of Georgia, known in the Deep South as Georgia peaches, come to food parties, they are famous for bringing very fine baked goods.

Such was the case yesterday when a member of our Txoko cooking team sent out a memo instructing us to come over for the ritualized breaking in of his new smoker.

While it wasn’t an official Txoko we did manage to put out a respectable spread of Smoked Pork Ribs, Iceberg Wedge w/Roquefort, Jalapeno Corn Bread and Georgia native Stephanie’s pluperfect Chocolate Cake.
