Great job David. Everything looks good. That was very gracious of you. And the menu was a nice touch. It was a lot of work, but I would say all appreciated it and had a great time.
Looks great"Mother in law asked for it" with pictures, First off she is in her low 80"s and does not ask for much. Very sweet lady. But she asked if i could do some ribs for her. So of coarse i said yes. She normally comes out once a month on the weekend to pay cards and have 1 beer. So i thought it would be nice if i made it special. So i made up a menu and emailed it to here for Saturday's supper. Here is the menu

So i also mailed it to her other daughter and made it a meal for 6 people ( big thank you to Mrs.Bear pie was fantastic ).
So it is St. Louis with Vanilla-Brown Sugar Glaze
Split chicken wings, Smoked Mac and Cheese, smoker was nice and full
Inside i made Butter-Swim Biscuits and topped it off with Mrs. Bears Cherries in the Snow pie
So here are some shots of the meal
Thanks for looking

Way too much food for 6 people .....awwww left overs today for lunch , supper and watch the hockey game tonight, Thanks for looking, David
Thanks for the likeVery cool David! All the food looks great and love the custom menu. I miss have my FiL around for things like this. I’ve not heard of the game Rummoli
Thanks cansmoke for the like , and yes all was goodLooks great
Thanks ksblazer, yes it was way too much food for 6 but we all rolled away from table quite full , and as we speakThat looks like a feast there!! I would have eaten until my stomach started to hurt.
I wouldn't be surprised if she asks for that again.
Thanks robrpb, yes all was great , fun had by all. Thanks about the menu idea and the work is worth it. Cooking is a release now from work for me. Everyone was happyGreat job David. Everything looks good. That was very gracious of you. And the menu was a nice touch. It was a lot of work, but I would say all appreciated it and had a great time.
Thanks for the like, and to start yes she smoked us all at Rummoli " pun intended " yes it was easy to build the menu , free template on internet.You served up a great meal! And I love your menu idea...very special indeed! Great to hear about families getting together and spending quality time together also! I'm just wondering if she won at cards?

Thanks for the like Wurstmeister, I'm always the talk about something...not always good lol.That was very thoughtful of you to take time to make the visit special. Ya'll will be the talk of her social circle as well as the family for years to come! Almost forgot, the spread looks wonderful!!
Thanks kawboy , we are lucky she can still live on her own so far. And up here where we are it is the same in the homes , they are on and off of lock downs. My wife and her mom are great friends also, and they really look forward to playing cards and Rummoli . And yes she still wants her 1 warm beer.Man I envy you! That is the main thing driving my mother nuts through all of this. We used to have her out several times a month for lunch and cribbage. Now the facility wont let the resident leave for such excursions. I still sneak here food as much as I can, but it's not the same. I will be stealing your invite/menu idea when this is all over! Great job!
Ha Ha , Thanks SmokinVOLfan , there is nothing i would not do for her. She is a sweet lady and has no anger towards no one. Thanks for the likeView attachment 487446

Ha ha , i bet you guys could. I keep asking her if she wants a cold one , but no she likes them warm. We have a full bar downstairs by the pool table , but no just 1 beer.Tell her to come down south we will hook her up with more than one beer and they will be cold
