Boy... girl... Guess we'll see tomorrow...

[timstalltaletav]

So my vegan sister in law (who likes my brisket) is having a gender reveal party tomorrow. Yours truly was volun-told I needed to make PP.

And we're off... Rubbing butts and enjoying a local beer from Bonsai Brewing in Hegins PA.

Two hours rubbed in plastic wrap in the fridge and we're going on the cooker. Pecan and local cherry chunks putting out the TBS. Pretty sure since it's like hell in God's Country today, I could have probably got the smoker up to 225° with about three pieces of charcoal...

Onto a long night of drinking beer and watching the TBS flow (while sweating through my shirt).

On a side note, I suggested colored Tannerite to reveal the gender. The bro-in-law agreed but then the executive committee decided balloons and sparklers would be more appropriate for the development they live in... No one wants to have fun anymore...

Try to stay HYDRATED! Maybe do a gender reveal colored rub.

I like that idea!!!! Unfortunately I have a big mouth. My better half and her mom are the only two who know if I'm getting a nephew or niece and they refuse to tell me...

Local beers and pp....awesome combination!

Pretty sure since it's like hell in God's Country today,

...made me have a sensible chuckle.

For a Voluntold party you have really stepped up to the plate.
Good choice with pulled pork.

The heat and humidity we had this week moved your way and combined with Ohio River valley (most humid area I have lived). It must be drippy.

I had a completely different thought process on "gender reveal". Lived in Seattle area back in the 80's and 90's. He to she reveal was pretty common.

Well... It's going to be a girl!

And the PP leftovers would only fill about a quart size Ziploc bag.

Is the girl (soon to be spoiled rotten niece?) their first child?

Hold on here. I grew up in Luzerne County and go back here and there. Please tell me more about Bonsai Brewing.

It's fairly new. I think they've been brewing for about a year. Only recently began larger scale sales. My local bottle shop gets a keg from them now and then of whatever they're brewing.

A local bar has a tap takeover event tomorrow which will feature 4 or 5 of their offerings. I'm planning on going to see what other styles they have. I've only had their IPA's up until now.

I like what I've had so far. Fairly light beers, I think they'll appeal to people who are just starting the journey into craft beers

Glad every one liked the Pulled Pork and grats on the new family to be!

This is the second reveal Gender party I have heard of. Never had these when My Wife and Me had our kids. I do not have a reason to hate this, it is just another reason to Party!

The other One I have heard about, the Woman has had the Doctor put the Info on a card and insert into an envelope, that envelope was then given to Womans Mother. At the Party, the Mother will hand the Father the results, who will then go out in the back yard and light either a Blue or Pink Fireworks

I think I would have served steak. Pink in the middle if its a girl, seared "blue" if its a boy.

Sure is different than when Bear Jr was born.
We couldn't find out Boy or Girl until he was born (Jan 31, 1972).
Fathers weren't allowed in the delivery room.
In fact the Photographer (No relation) was allowed into the Baby Room before the Father!!!
Mom & Baby came home after 3 days.
