Birthday party time!

[Carvendive]

My wife is having her 60th birthday so I invited her best friends. I'm doing 24+ lbs of pork sholder (pulled). Here's the menu.

Appetizers;
Pig shots, potato and tortilla chips, pimento cheese dip, taco dip, stuffed mushrooms, smoked salmon, veggie tray, grapes and watermelon.

Main course;
Rolls, Pulled pork, coleslaw, cheese potatoes, home made baked beans, Coke jello salid,Beer, grapes, carrot salad,

Desert;
Apple bars, pumpkin bread, bars and Chocolate triffle. (She wants NO cake and no "60" candle!)

Drinks;
Water, soda, assorted beers and wines, whiskey old fashion.

So the evening will be full of crying babies, fighting kids and lots of love and kisses

-and- no one will go home hungry. Does it get any better?

Sounds like it's going to be a great time, I would put up with crying babies and fighting kids for an awesome meal like that.

looks like a lot of great food, should I bring a card or something?

 

[Carvendive]

To me, the babies and kids are the highlight of my day.

Wow, you must be having a lot of people over!

Sounds good and GOOD CALL on not doing the candles. We put 65 individual candles on my MIL's B-day cake. That much heat vaporized all the Wax. The entire surface of the cake was on fire with a huge single flame!...JJ

Pork shoulders are done 24# initially and once pulled I ended up getting 12.5#. it'll have to be enough for everyone.

Now that sounds like the makings of a great B-Day Party!! The menu sounds like a feast.
But, if your wife says "No candles", I figure you should have at least one vulture out on the lawn, looking in. LOL

That was a perfect opportunity to add marshmallows to the dessert menu.
