Time for another update.
BEER: Sadly I'm running of of time and will not get the last 10 gallons done before the event. We will however have 8 kegs: 6 on the floor and 2 on tap in the utility room. One of the 6 will get tapped on the patio Friday afternoon.
ADDRESS: Thus far only one person has sent me a PM asking for my address. Some of you already know where we live of course, but there are others that have never been here before.
GENERAL: I have several crock pots, a couple of electric skillets with lids, and a huge electric roasting pan that can be used to keep food warm if necessary.
WEATHER: The extended forecast is saying it's going to be HOT!! We will likely be in triple digit temps. Dress comfortably, drink lots of fluids (beer and margaritas) to stay hydrated, and plan to spend a bunch of time in the pool.
FOOD: I noticed a strange absence in the menu offerings. Nobody is planning to bring Cole Slaw. Anybody feel like making some? If you're inclined to do it but don't have a recipe, let me know. I have one that is really easy but really, really good.
MARGARITAS: Well as fate would have it, Tracy and I went through a lot of the stuff I bought a few weeks ago so stopped today and got two more cases and a few racks of St. Louis pork ribs that I may play with Saturday. I'll be making at least one more trip to Costco so if we are looking low again on the margaritas, I'll just grab some more.
FRIDAY DINNER: Still no thoughts from anybody on what to do for dinner Friday. Anybody have any ideas? Ricky offered to do burgers and I offered to buy the Chuck Roast, grind the meat, and press the burgers. No response though. I'm still planning to do a couple of Piedmontese Beef tri tips on the rotisserie if nothing else comes to light but we will need to figure out what to serve with them.
ICE: Although my ice maker will do 100# of ice a day it only holds 30# in the bin. I started bagging ice today and will get a bunch set aside in case the ice maker can't keep up.
I think that's it for now.....
