I’m continuing my food theme today with a small review of Alamo Salt Works Original seasonings. I just got back from a camping trip to southern Utah, where I used my Alamo rub to top some awesome steaks I cooked by the camp fire. Man were they good.
I’ve received many spice submissions, surprisingly, and I’ve tried many on slabs of meat. The Alamo is one of the best I’ve tried. My fellow campers (dad and two offspring) loved it too.
This original rub-shake-mix would be great on any kind of meat, fish or veggies. I’m going to make some homemade french fries tonight and I’ll be testing out the Alamo on them as well. I’m sure my taste buds will be happy.

Simmie J’s BBQ Sauce is yummy

Golf and barbecue sauce. No two things go better together. 🙂
I just polished off, checked off, a batch of BBQ sauce from my massive golf BBQ sauce queue. I guarantee you nobody has a larger golf BBQ sauce queue than me!
Seriously though, this one was pretty nice. I put some Simmie J’s Spicy Gourmet Hickory BarBQ on a whole chicken baked in the oven, chicken breasts, ribs at my buddy’s place on the barbie, and had a bunch of it atop of some chicken nuggets. All tests excellent.
Simmie J’s recipe dates back to the 1840’s, proving that many good things stand the test of time.
The Simmie J web site isn’t as good as their sauce, obviously because their focus is on their tasty sauce and not their web design! Maybe for a few bottles I can clean it up for them…
Review: ThinkSport Bottles

When I’m not golfing I love to hike in the red rock country of Southern Utah, or the 11,000 foot mountains in my back yard here in Salt Lake. I need to stay hydrated when hiking in the desert heat, and I need to stay hydrated on the golf course to perform my best. The ThinkSport sports bottle helps me handle the important task of keeping hydrated.
Technology
The ThinkSport bottle is double walled, with a vacuum sealed air tight space between the walls. The dual wall system provides insulation to keep cold beverages cold, and hot beverages hot. I can prepare my own sports drink and throw a few ice cubes in there before a round of golf, and it stays cold the whole round. The double walls also eliminate condensation on the outside of the bottle. It doesn’t “sweat.”
The bottle is made from stainless steel which ensures cleanliness. I only taste the beverage and not the bottle.
I’m no scientist and I don’t know much about chemicals. I just want water or some sort of hydrating liquid and not a bunch of chemicals in my body. The ThinkSport is free of chemicals like Bisphenol (BPA), Polycarbonate, Phthalates, Cadmium and Lead. That must be good.
Three piece top
This bottle has a three component lid. Two of the three components are the screw off caps. One cap exposes the bottle’s main large opening for pouring in liquids, and putting in ice cubes, gatorade dust or tea leaves.
The 2nd component is the smaller cap, which when removed is held onto the bottle by a plastic connector. When drinking I open the smaller lid, which has an opening of about half an inch but sometimes I open the big one when I want to gulp it fast.
The 3rd component to the top is the mesh insert (pictured right) which goes into the larger cap. The mesh allows liquids through but keeps solids inside the bottle. Another great use for the mesh would be for making tea. Put the tea leaves in the bottle and the mesh will keep them inside the bottle where they belong, while allowing the tea itself to exit into your waiting mouth.
Sizes
There are two sizes available for the ThinkSport. Mine is the 750ml bottle, and there’s a smaller 350ml version as well. I went with the larger of the two because I want to carry more liquid to be on the safe side. The only drawback with the bigger bottle is that it won’t fit in standard beverage holders, like the ones found in motorized or hand driven golf carts. I have to put the bottle in a pocket in my bag or hang it with a clamp to my push cart.
Colors
There are two colors available for the ThinkSport bottles, black and silver. I decided to go with silver because it would reflect more of the sun’s heat rather than absorbing it like the black would.
Conclusion
The ThinkSport bottle keeps my beverages the desired temperature, whether trying to keep cold liquids cold in the summer or hot liquids hot in the winter. I love how the bottle doesn’t have a “taste” to it, especially when I’ve filled it with great tasting filtered water.
The bottle is tough too. Mine has taken a beating and only has one little dent when I dropped it hiking in the red rock area of Moab, Utah.

A nice lady at The Golf Channel convinced me to do a quick blog about two contests they’re having. I don’t always post these types of things, but when I can hook my readers up with fee stuff then I sometimes do.
13 Taylormade r9’s and a spot in the Pro-Am in Nationwide’s Vegas stop
TGC is giving away 13 (why 13? No idea) Taylormade r9 drivers and a trip for two to the 2010 Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in Vegas, and a spot in the Pro-Am. More info…
Cobra gear and a round with Ian Poulter at PGA National
The 2nd giveaway is a Cobra deal with Ian Poulter. They have weekly contests and a grand prize which is a round of golf at PGA National with Ian Poulter. That would be a great opportunity for to get some fashion tips from Ian.
