Good to have choices.

Well things have changed and we are doing a potluck with a couple of neighbors. Burgers, dogs, green bean casserole and queso and chips for us.

going to farm neighbor's party. Missouri river flathead and blue cat fish fry, and pot luck sides. Good old country music music, byob coolers, and a 10K firework display. The best flyover country can provide.

Hopefully pics on the 5th

Pork butt on the pellet smoker. Will leave the rest to the wife.

The plan, the plan, and at times, "The best laid plans, of man and mouse". Pork ribs, Cole slaw, rolls, some spud dish.

Some neighbors and a couple CF friends over.

13 lb brisket just went on the BGE. I'll get 5-6 hours of smoke on it then off to the oven for the night. Should be done about 0800 -- it can easily rest until afternoon.

Other than that? Potato salad, salad and watermelon with mint and a blueberry tart for desert.

BBQ’d chicken legs, burgers, chili, jalapeño poppers, corn on the cob, watermelon, pickled beets, beer cheese and pretzels, blueberry pie, ice cream.....


Supposed to have a few friends and their families over. They all chickened out. Scared of the ‘Rona.

We’re gonna yak paddle in the morning, eat and drink , big fire, lame fireworks, and be happy we don’t have to deal with anyone else. 🙂

That sounds pretty darn good!

How's that work out for ya ?

Pic ?

I did enough cooking for fathers day and my grandmas birthday last weekend. Whatever my brother cooks or grills I will help with everything but the dishes!

Ended up hitting 195 at 0600 so 14 hours total. It's resting wrapped until the afternoon event. Didn't slice it but while wrapping it had the right "feel" so hopefully good.

I’ve got 15lbs of brisket on the smoker. Coming off at 0800 to rest till 1300 lunch. Homemade peach bourbon bbq sauce, smoky onions, and cowboy candied peppers to go with the sandwiches. I’m salivating just typing this!!

Put dry rub on St Louis ribs last night. Just loaded them in the smoker with oak wood.
Wife is making a cold bean/corn salad. Water melon and blue berries to finish.

Evidently we are starting with bacon and scrambled eggs.

Started last night with grilled elk sirloin, homemade ceaser with grilled Artichoke hearts and a glass of 2017 paso Robles Zin.

Got a butt on, cherry ice cream just got churned, gotta make some slaw and cut up a watermelon.

Haha! Hey Cheesey......we just did hash browns, scrambled eggs and sausage links on the flat top outside.

Fish tacos on corn tortillas with shredded cabbage ,sliced radish and a lime crema sauce later on. Had some chicken and sausage gumbo for lunch.

Damnit. I should have thought about hash browns. Shame to heat up all that surface and not fully utilize it.

I tell you what....I had to work like hell to keep the eggs out of the grease trap.

Need to re level.
