July 4 - BBB!
« on: July 03, 2004, 11:15:48 PM »
Beer!  BBQ!  Blues!

It don't get no better!

OK, OK.. I started early. Kid came home from collig in FL, said he's been under extreme stress. No place in Orlando knows how to make decent BBQ.

So, yeah, I started a day early.

Put the 5lb tender brisket in the secret marinade. Rubbed down a short end of pork ribs.

Boiled the Brats in Beer and onions.

Fired up the ECB smoker. Used the beer from the brat cooking along with apple juice and 13 secret herbs and spices in the water tub on the ECB.

Smoked the brisket, ribs and added the brats and a bit more wood right at the end.

Homemade coleslaw, pit beans, steak fries and ALL THAT BBQ washed down with Boulevard Pale Ale, Irish Ale, Wheat and Lager.

Muddy Waters last televised concert on the Big Screen.

OoooooOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooh  YEAH! A good time was had by all.

So what y'all doin' for the 4th?

Poor fellow.  I suppose you could go kill a reindeer and smoke a brisket, substitute some vodka for the beer and download some good blues.

But sit at home and "mind your business". You're choice of course. Probably should use lotion though.

Sounds great Toad. Going to my friend Erics house to celebrate my birthday with another guy we work with who's is the 5th.

I start the smoker and my first brisket at 6:00am sharp, hope the internet has proper cooking instructions.

Went to Winco last night and loaded up on Brats, new Red Hook Beer ones, should interesting, some Tri Tip, Burgers, and the Oriental wives have gotten ribs from somewhere and will certainly put another 20 side dish show on.

No fireworks though, the hills were burning down a day or 2 ago, so maybe watch the Nuggets fireworks from his roof.

Pry watch the new Black Label Society Zakk Wyld DVD though. Blues are good, but gotta go with Zak on this one.

Here is where I will be tomorrow.  Burgers and dogs on the grill, queso and pico de gallo on the side; I don't like to work too hard at cooking whilst lounging.

The wife and I decided to have a potluck party.  Tomorrow my grilling duties include:

4 racks of ribs (thinking of marinating them overnight....not sure but want to try somthing different plus I dont have the time to smoke them)

3 packages of 20ct Hamburgers wich I am gonna add a rubb to

4 bags of chicken probably bout 20 lbs total

20ct package of stadium dogs (the long kind)

PLUS i'm helping with the beans and the hot wings.

To wash all this glorious chow down we got a KEG of Coors Light.  

YUP its gonna be a great day tomorrow.....most of my shop is coming and half the neighbors.  

At 9pm the base has a fireworks show wich we will be able to see easily from my back yard.  


GOD BLESS THE USA!

Went to Lake Erie beach cottage with friends. Drank Captain Morgan rum, had a few burgers and beans, watched the bonfires and fireworks down the shoreline and won 10 bucks throwing horseshoes. A  very nice day indeed.

Happy Birthday United States of America!

Gonna make some Chili, cook some Hot Dogs, and shoot off some Fireworks.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Would like to see the Mets sweep the Yanks but my mom wants to have some "thing" at jones beach.  She's closed her store for a couple of days so I can't say no.  Like most new citizens(passed the test in 2000) she loves her US holidays.

we have the blues festival going on this weekend (every 4th of July),  it's always great, 2 stages (so no waiting between bands, and if you have back row seats for this band you'll front row for the next), about 12 hours of music a day for a $5 admission.

I think I'll head downtown this afternoon, and stretch out on a blanket in the park, while I catch some good tunes and wait for the fireworks to kick off at dark.
