15th Annual South Florida Gathering 2026 (12/11-12/12 Now Making Reservations )

[JckDanls 07]

OK... Getting close enough to start gathering things... Just ordered casings and seasonings from Owens BBQ... Just brought home a load of my famous Snap Crackle Pop fast igniting firewood... Dunno what I'm gonna do for firewood after I retire...
I for one am ready for a little time off and to spend it with friends, cooking, drinking and telling lies...

Bringing a few pints of home canned pickled green beans to the party this year.
Anyone up for Bloody Mary or Caesars for breakfast? Planning for sour dough pancakes again.

I know what a Bloody Mary is, but what's a Ceasar?

Counting down. Diane is making plans, too.

...
I'm beefed out after my last year's tri-tip 3 ways.
...

Well, what am I planning this year? Beef pastrami for Reuben egg rolls. Got the home cured pastrami in the fridge.

Caesar uses Clamato or tomato juice with clam juice. Very popular with the Canadians from Manitoba Providence. It has splashed over to Minnesota. I prefer a regular Mary.
Cocktails will stay on our end of the campground along with the pancakes if I can get my sourdough fired up.

Those eggrolls sound great! I'll bring some of our dill pickle hot sauce for the Marys and Cesars :)
