Welcoming a friend,
Robert
Welcome Matt! Looking forward to meeting you and yours. Can't not have a marg machine! it'll be warm out so some frozen drinks will go down easy.Hey guys, I am Matt. Ha. Just wanted to introduce myself. Hope everyone is well. I have been reading ya'll posts and looks like I have at least three things in common with all of you. I like to cook, eat and drink. I love learning new things about all of those subjects. Look forward to meeting all of you in August. Much thanks to Robert for the invite. I have a Jimmy Buffet Margarita Machine I can contribute. Its mainly just a glorified ice shaver and blender. But it looks cool and works well. It looks like most of the protein is taken care of let me know If I can do a side.
Thanks again,
Matt
Great God!! This is getting huge!! There will be enough food to feed all of Texas it looks like :-)
Quick update: I just ran into my neighbor/friend/new SMF member Matt while walking the puppies. He posted this morning but apparently the Mods have not released it yet. He and his amazing family will be joining us Friday afternoon and Saturday for the main event.

This is hardly a late reply since we are still almost a month away :-) Great news that you and your friend will be coming to visit. Appreciate your offerings and cannot wait to meet you. Heck, you have a good part of Texas covered just by bringing your friend: Austin from Dallas. Sorry....couldn't pass that up
Looking forward to it,
Robert
MAJOR BREAKFAST MEAT UPDATE!!
I hooked up with my friend Gerald @snakehead Friday afternoon for libations and to do some catching up. We covered a lot of topics but one in particular of major importance. Gerald requested (insisted??) that he make sausage gravy for breakfast Saturday and/or Sunday morning. Far be it from me to argue but I did add one condition: that he use my homemade breakfast sausage. Strange....I didn't get any complaints from him :-) Fast forward to yesterday morning. I realized that I didn't have any breakfast sausage. OH NO!! Somehow I'd managed to run out. This is not good so I immediately set about fixing the problem and made a big batch of it. As I was putting it into the freezer I did a quick inventory of breakfast meats I have on hand to offer up for our event. Here is what I came up with:
-Maple and brown sugar bacon
-Pepper crusted bacon
-Canadian bacon
-Buckboard bacon
-Dried beef
-Breakfast sausage
All of these are homemade of course. Not a bad offering to toss out there for a bit of variety when it comes time to make breakfast.
Checking the coffers,
Robert
