My wife asked if we could do a BBQ with a few friends for her birthday. I said no problem. I should have asked a few more questions lol. First a few friends ended up being 21 friends, plus the menu kept getting longer, and longer, and longer.
The menu started as pulled pork and chicken. I told her I thought we should try the wicked beans recipe from the forum. After looking at it she wanted to skip the jalapenos. We ended up compromising, and decided to use 1 jalapeno. Ok the menu was set. Now for the plan.
The BBQ was set for Saturday the12th, and I had the 11th off for veteran's day. So, I told her I could cook the pulled pork on Friday and the rest on Saturday. She asked if I could cook St Louis ribs on Saturday if I was cooking the pork on Friday, and since some of our friends don't eat pork, how about adding some beef ribs? No problem,,,, honey it's your birthday.
Ok, the new plan is cook the pork on Friday, chicken, St Louis ribs and beef ribs on Saturday. Ok I can do this. Then she added what about appetizers? What would you like,,, honey? How about wings, ABT's, Zucchini and Squash. No PROBLEM,,,, HOOONEY.
Ok, the new plan is to cook the pork on Friday. Chicken, St Louis ribs, beef ribs, beans, wings, ABT's, Zucchini and Squash on Saturday. Can I do this? Sure I can, well maybe, lol.
