Nothing, its a PIA but worth it. Can't wait to try out the BGE so I don't have to make smoking meat (hehe) a labor of love.
You just answered your own post?I think you've had enough apple juice.I suppose this assumes you occasionally let their dad watch them.
Already on to wine. Should have opened something cheaper, though. This is going to be a waste.You just answered your own post?I think you've had enough apple juice.I suppose this assumes you occasionally let their dad watch them.
I read this and the only thing I could think of is "soo, Sac's wife doesn't allow him to drink beer".Good for you, GB. Enjoy.
Charcoal, chunks of hickory and apple chips.Hickory wasn't really the route I wanted to go, but it had one major advantage over everything else.
Making crock pot hot sauce chicken tonight and tomorrow. 14 freaking hours. Mmmmmm....... Gonna celebrate with a nice Sav Blanc and a lambic finisher.
Drink shots of tobasco first?

Mrs. S enjoys pretty much anything boozy, and she doesn't care much what I do. This is much more a rare opportunit to be home alone all day kind of thing.Probably should have taken the dog running before the booze, though.
Maybe get some pineapple juice.Its stickier so that it adheres to the pork better and pineapple compliments the pork flavor really well.it also tastes a lot better mixed with rum. I particularly like it with Myer's black.
For sure. Might be particularly fun if you're a bit drunk, as I'm assuming you are by now.
Me? Noooooo.
i did the burgers, chicken, hot dogs thing for my first daughters 1 yr party. sucked. a lot.definitely do something that is ready when folks arrive and is serve your own. pulled pork from a crockpot sounds spot onLooking for a little advice here...could probably start my own thread, but could likely be handled in here. Got the twins' 1YO bday party coming up next month. Sending out 35 invites (she's got a huge family), so once you factor in spouses and kids, I'm expecting around 75ish people at my house for a 2 hour party (11-1). We'll be serving lunch, so I'm going to be cooking to keep the costs low vs. ordering out. Originally I was going to keep it simple...burgers and hot dogs, but a buddy of mine pointed out that he did this for his kids' party and he was constantly cooking, so he missed a bunch of stuff. I don't want to miss anything, but obviously still need to keep the guests happy. Any thoughts here on food?I was thinking making a big thing of pulled pork which is very easy, and can be done in the crockpot (hehe) early that morning...so that frees up a bunch of time. But for variety, I need one or 2 more entree options. Think I'm still going to roll with hot dogs for the kids, b/c I can do that on the stove really quick.Anything?
beer snob forum is thattaway ------> ace

No Big Green Egg?
Hanging out at the grill with a beer sounds like the jackpot to me.Looking for a little advice here...could probably start my own thread, but could likely be handled in here.

Pulled pork would work...or ribs...could do sloppy joes in another crock to have variety from the pulled p if you wanted. Can make some slaw and beans ahead of time.
Oh, you fancy.
I'm 39. I used to think signs of age were a turn-off too, but at some point, when you see an aging woman as cute and as fit and as lively as the one you posted, you really come to regard them. Quite remarkable and I find myself really admiring an attractive 40ish gal who's made it through the grind this long and still looks good. It's tough....I'm no trip to Hollywood myself at 39, though I wasn't a trip to Branson at 21 either.'Guster said:
I almost hate doing this, but somebody will at some point if they haven't already and I figure I'm buzzed enough to do this as best I see it:3
WOW! I like this one the most. If you don't want her, I'll fire up my divorce manager and move to Kentucky or Idaho or Dayton or wherever it is you live...somewhere midwestish.
This. The more you do before hand, the better. You'll be buys regardless, but have everything ready and out before hand, then just facilitate. You can also have trays of cut up sausage, cheese and crackers + a veggie tray....people love to snack on those at parties. Deviled eggs are also a fun thing to serve...especially with some fresh bacon placed on top. Yum....You can also put out some shrimp. I've got a simple, fun, easy shrimp recipe for you....5-10 minutes total prep/cook time and an easy dish to leave out over ice and let people eat over the course of the party. Just make things available, you don't need to keep churning out dogs/burgers or anything more.We had a similar number at our Super Bowl party last year, and Mr. krista made a big variety of Mexican stuff. You wouldn't have to go as insane as he did, but you could just make a few different taco fillings (maybe a shrimp, a beef, and a chorizo?) and have warm tortillas (keep them in tortilla warmers), a ton of toppings, sauces, etc. You can put those in a couple of buffet pans with sterno and keep it warm for a long time. He also made tamales and kept them warm similarly, if that's more your style. And guac. And ceviche. And...well, maybe just stick with the tacos.Looking for a little advice here...could probably start my own thread, but could likely be handled in here.

Whoops, meant lawyer.
I've actually become social friends with my divorce attorney. We've gone out boozing and to the scrip clubs a few times. Solid guy.
What the......Here's to hoping that similar results come from my recent FB work, and a hottie 4th grader corners SLB Jr. behind a willow tree and slobbers him something magical. How great would it be if he comes home all whimpering and confused, and poor Bob thinks he's been bullied again. So like a good dad he gets down on one knee and gets his son to talk about it and when junior finally opens his mouth he tells Bob some older girl tickled his tongue with her tongue?'Tecumseh said:'Guster said:
You have to picture Bob's face at that moment. Can't see it? It looks like this.
Would be pretty sweet if you just hired him full time.Whoops, meant lawyer.
All my life I always sorta wondered but never really asked what the Chamber of Commerce does. I just assumed is was churchy and stuffy and not at all for me. I figured it was full of guys in Shriners Hats and people who eat a lot of jello. But man....now I feel like I wasted about 19 years of prime, fertile, ripe hunting. FML.Homer's route to tang I understand. Get 'em wasted on my home field and take advantage of any and all openings. Guster's path to its not pee I get too. A little online action mixed in with some random happenstance. But Gadzooks? He's like the grand PuBah of the Chamber Events and gets more tail than a straight Ryan Secrest. He doesn't even really have to try.
Out with it, Julia.
Even cooler would be if he offered to pick up a round of drinks once in a blue moon. Come on, Lionel Hutz...I DID stroke you a nice check a few years back and you know I'm a marital risk.Would be pretty sweet if you just hired him full time.Whoops, meant lawyer.
Pick up a pound or two of shrimp. White shrimp, fresh shrimp, frozen shrimp....just make sure they are unpeeled. If frozen, just take 'em home and run some water on 'em/thaw 'em out.Pour two beers into a nice sized sauce pan. Add a liberal, healthy dose of Tony's or Old Bay (Tiger, will use Tony's, you'll probably use Old Bay). Stir around. Add a bay leaf or two. Maybe a splash of garlic powder. Bring this to a boil. Dump the shrimp into the pan and stir it up. Bring it back to a boil, shut off the heat and cover for about a minute. Total cook time should be 3-5 minutes tops so the shrimp is pink all over. Drain in a colander (sp?) and try to shake out the moisture. Depending on the crowd, you can arrange them on or off ice. If people will mow them down, no need. Serve with a little cocktail sauce, let others peel 'em. I've never failed to impress with this one. You can toy around with the beers, but I like a Red Stripe or something fun like that. Bud works, PBR, Becks.....just don't use those fancy beers Furley, Hack and Fat Max love and admire.
This is brilliant. I'd like to murder every Swedish person not named Charv for Ikea's early 2000 Gordian Knot Furniture Line.
