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?
