Memorial Day BBQ

I hope it doesn't rain. After installing hardwood floors in my condo this weekend, I'm having a BBQ. I bought a new propane grill and built a smoker last night. The menu includes grilled grecian lamb chops, T-bones, New York Strips, beer can chicken, smoked pork sandwiches (w/ my own Carolina style sauce), smoked white fish, BBQ brisket, cedar plank salmon and unfortunately turkey hotdogs and garden burgers for my g/f's hippy friends (if there's room on the grill). Plus an array of appetizers and sides including grilled jumbo prawns and a couple of fresh cicada dishes. That's right, I finally get to put my cicada recipe book to use this year. Add plenty of beer, spiked and energized fruit punch, cocktails, frozen drinks and a bean bag game and it should be a good time. That's how I throw down. I hope it doesn't rain. Anyone else throwing a bash to kick off summer?

Wow, sounds like a feast! I don't have anything planned, wish I were coming to your place :D

Saturday night we are taking my daughter to her first live action midnight RHPS. I think it will be fun, but staying up that late is gonna kill me.

No one else has plans to grill? What is this, Communist Russia? ;)

What are you getting at NERD?

Pontoon boat, jet skis, and cold coronas down at the lake for me!

:rockon:

No major plans here. Hope to just enjoy a longer weekend before wrapping up the last few days of school. It will be quiet here after that but the workload won't get any lighter!

My grill will be earning its pay I'm sure. In the spring/summer months I'm pretty much in charge of the "main course" for our dinners and the grill gets used daily. I LOVE grill food!

Probably cruise around on the bike and see what's happ'n to.

Well I'm doing Ribeyes and shrimp, with grilled mushrooms, corn, and bread..

Sounds fun. And more relaxing than manning 2 grills and a smoker all day, while drinking heavily and throwing bags. Oh, and installing hardwood floors.

My father, his g/f, and myself will be getting 2 dozen steamed crabs. MMMM MMMM MD steamed crabs. I can't wait! Will be the first ones this year.

Soft Shell crabs?

I had some buster crabs for lunch....good stuff ;)

I can't buy any animals until next spring at the earliest...I made a promise to my husband to wait a year between each.

there's always dry goods, cool animals, and friendly faces to be enjoyed at NERD though :sunny:

It's hard for me to go into a place like that and not leave with a new animal. You have more will power than I do.

Yeah, nothing beats beer and good crab, except maybe beer, good crab and a rare filet mignon.
