Happy Birthday America!

2 racks of beef short ribs on the smoker right now, 2 racks of pork spare ribs will go on about 1.  Everything should be ready around 5-6. 

I think some people are bringing sides.  I won't be eating them...

I'm working today, but get paid double time.  I suppose there is nothing more American than making as much money as possible.

We are doing a cook out at work though.  Standard burgers, dogs, potato salad, etc.

Visiting the wife’s family in Tennessee. Currently sitting in a repair shop getting a new tire put on (had a chunk out in the sidewall).

Supposed to go watch the Braves and Cardinals tonight.  The tire is throwing our plans off a little.

Hanging out at Dad/Brother's in Tucson before we head to the desert ranch of family friends for a burger cookout later this afternoon. Even though I'm already bringing a case of Coronas, bottle of Sangria, and a sizable bowl of pasta salad, Dad believes he needs to bring something on his behalf to avoid looking cheap. Trying to explain that when the three of us show up with everything in hand the hosts won't be attributing who did or didn't bring what.

And no one can interrupt you as you have to tend to the smoke box and draft.I have that on good account from some casual smokers on the 40 Acres that's just the way it has to be

All sounds good except for the Coronas

Howdy Kris.

Making filet mignon and chicken kebobs tonight. Got a "potato meal" prepping in the oven and will finish on this little shit grill later on. Dodging raindrops right now.

Typical Midwest 4th. Ugh.

Potato meal... was fishing up in a remote area in Canada probably 45 years ago now. The Indians made it for us. Potato, carrots, mushrooms and onions, with oil, butter, salt and pepper. Been making it ever since.

They would not tell us where to fish, but they shared that potato dish at least.

I asked where they got all the walleye and the one dude said "over there" and pointed to the lake.

Bastage.

Been Walleye fishing in Canada many times in if my guess is correct you caught plenty without their secret.

That 2+ hour rain delay probably threw them off some more.

Visiting Dad and brothers here in Arizona to start the week. This afternoon we're heading over the Tucson Mountains to the ranch property of family friends out in the desert, who are throwing a neighborhood get-together. Bringing a case of White Claw (too hot outside to drink anything else - 111F) and two different pasta salads to offset all the hotdogs.

edit: There will be a pool out back. With a projector set up to watch the Sandlot. Perfect summer movie.

Happy July 4th to everyone - especially you Terry!

Today we decided to do Chicago Dogs. In-laws are coming over and bringing the dogs and buns. Couldn't find Vienna Beef franks, nor poppyseed buns. 

Oh well. They'll still be more Chicago than anyone from Indiana who says they live in "the region".

Can you get Boar's Head dogs? They suffice. I tried it last week - forgot to tell everyone.

Heh, I was in NYC with the family for the 4th/week.   We actually went to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.  A little corny for the 4th but when in Rome and all.    Afterwards ate at the Fraunces Tavern (where General George Washington celebrated after winning the War) and then just did room service for a nightcap.   No fireworks.
