Our 4th of July fixin's - W/ q-view

[chisoxjim]

Small get together just a family, and a couple of friends.

I am going to grill a couple large sirloins I picked up yesterday, the 2 steaks weighed in at a little over 3#. I had to cut a small sample(not even a 1/4 of this monster steak) for a snack last night.



also doing some rib tips, they are in the fridge ready to go:



prepped some ABT's with a cream cheese, chorizo, roasted garlic, parsley, and cheddar filling:


yesterday I whipped up a banana pudding from scratch(custard, meringue), then layered the custard with sliced bananas, and nilla wafers, topped with the meringue, and baked for 15 mins..









also did up some macaroni salad:



I will fire up the WSM around 1:00 and get thew ABT's, and rib tips on around 2:00. Later on I will fire up the Weber kettle,a nd grill the sirloins, and also some corn on the cob in the husk.

Hopefully the rain blows out by mid afternoon as the weather person is calling for.

Sure hope it doesn't rain on your parade.
Like the sound of those ABTs. Was going to do up some regular ones but hate doing the prep work on them.
Good luck with the smoke
Happy 4th

Good luck with the cook. It's raining on us right now as I'm sure it is by you too. Trying to keep temps steady in the rain sucks.

enjoy your 4th, and your cook
