The day before....
Well the big party is tomorrow night and there is still so much to get done but I feel pretty good about where we are. We still have half of a counter top to lay in the morning and clean up. Today we got some more electrical work finished, coke machine installed, cash register and credit/debit machine running, more decorations hung, sauces made, slaw made......we got a lot done. I just got home about 10 minutes ago because I was waiting until 11:00 to put the briskets on. I shouldnt have to be back over there until about 6:00 tomorrow morning to add coals and wood to the coal basket. I put the shoulders on tonight at 7:00. We've got 4 whole shoulders, 6 briskets, and tomorrow morning I'll put on 30 slabs of spare ribs. I've got 22 cases of beer, 10 cases of 7 ounce cokes, slaw, potato salad, beans (cooked underneath the shoulders of course.....so all that "lard-goodness" drips in em') & last but not least moon-pies (nilla' & chocolate). I'll post pictures on Sunday afternoon Lord willing.
YAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!! We knew the day would come---the anticipation was wonderful, but can't wait to get back down there and sample your delicious cooking.
ReplyDeleteIt's like standing in the back of the church, all preparations done, hoping your veil is on straight, waiting for your music, and finally having that feeling of THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING.
I'm so glad for you, and we'll be there soon for some of that GOOOOOD barbecue. Table for five and a high chair, please.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
