    Working on finalizing my packing tomorrow of non food items. Just checking on a couple things mentioned earlier. Cornhole set: do I need to bring mine? Mini: does anyone want the grill and hardware I have to build there of at a later time. I will have some tequila, but I can bring some black...

    I think people need to bring and serve whatever they want. This is a time to share something you feel in your heart is something you feel others will enjoy. I apologize if what I said got anyone upset or hesitant to make what they want too. My intention was only to point out we were going to...

    I do have the weber grill to make a mini and I think all the hardware. Not sure if anyone wants to make one at the gathering as a demo. If that is an interest, let me know. It is the remnants of what I made for my dad a few years back and he somehow melted the pot.

    I have a cornhole set i can bring. Getting a little excited. I am supposed to pick up mega tent on Saturday. Unlike years past where I work up until the day before I go down to the campground. This year was forced to take vacation in the last quarter, so I started mine today and will be out...

    So update for me. I will not be getting there until well after dark on Friday. It will be a long day. Depending on how things go in Jacksonville that morning will actually determine my timing. Looks like we will do a straight forward rib comp. Sounds good. I'll place my order with Sonny's and...

    Can we do the judging similar to last year and it be our people and not random people in the camp grounds? Maybe also keep it to a reasonable number..... I know I am being bi#@y. But it looks like we will have a bunch of mouths to feed....no need to feed those first that contributed nothing to...

    Yes if that Is agreed on. Or we just do our own thing. It started on my end with a little liquid confidence. But still sounds fun.

    If we are going to do the mystery ingredient. We use St. Luis cut ribs. You can buy spare ribs and someone like Doug or myself can show you how to fabricate them to St. Luis style if you dont know how. A learning opportunity for you if you like. Keep in mind this is dinner for us that night...

    Ojenny no need to be intimidated for the ribs. It's all in fun and a way to show what you like and what you do. It's all in fun. I am fairly confident in my cooking skills, but still learn from everyone. Whole hog will have to be a discussion topic this year. Maybe next year we can do whole...

    I agree on same cut of ribs. I say St. Luis cut. The mystery ingredient needs to be tame and something that can be used in the rub or sauce, but fun. I am good with crazy, but we need to remember this will also be dinner and people have spent good money on the product they are presenting.

    So I have an idea for the rib comp.... Everyone who enters brings a brown bag with a mystery ingredient. We number the bags. Then we draw numbers to see what bag you get. Then you have to use that ingredient in your rib cook.... Who's game???

    My participation all depends on how Thursday goes with my daughter's procedure. I am game for any "Fun" competition. I can judge or participate. Groups choice. For those interested in any cooking demos let me know and we can work something out. A few years back I did a rib demo and the past...

    For all of the first timers. Don't stress about what to cook. Make what you feel comfortable with. Ask questions when you see something new. Everyone can teach and everyone can learn. As said before I cook for a living, but I feel I have learned more than I have thought at these events. For...

    Unless something drastically changes, I will not be there until Friday afternoon. I have to go to a follow up procedure for my daughter's surgery she had last year. I am not planning on anything specific yet, since it will all be determined on her procedure on Thursday and how it goes. I'll see...
