Karen and I are still talking about how much fun we had Saturday. So many wonderful people all getting together for no other reason than a pleasant family gathering of friends and hobbiests. Tally made it to 50.
I want to be selfish and claim next year's August BBQ here at our house. We can shoot for 100 attendence, plenty of room
Honarary awards:
Best Entree: How can anyone compete with day-long smoked dri-rubbed pulled pork! (Kosher of course)
Best dessert: Tie between Carol's Bannana muffins and Rebecca's Lemon bars each were AMAZING!
Best Pad Tai: Wonder who makes such a great Tamarind flavored dish?
Best Bean dish: Tie between Becca's three bean and Maryjane multi-bean chili (was wonderfull meeting you guys)
Best Coleslaw: Lauri gets the honors on both
Best Mac salad: mystery donar ???
Also thanks for both veggi trays, Hotdogs and buns, Bags of ice, beer, bottled water, sesame seed buns, and everything else that filled the table with our feast
The fact that we had no potato chips, canned soda, store bought cookies, and other empty calories was a testimony to the thoughtfulness of our group.
Looking forward to seeing you all in another 2-3 months.
Mike and Karen
