Saturday send off BBQ spare ribs for friends.

[cappyr]

Ok I know it aint Saturday yet not here anyways but Peg and I pulled the membrane offn 2 big spare rib racks, and dusted them with a lil Cajun seasonings and stowed them out in da pit till tomorrow.  We also pulled some scale on red fish fillets to keep da ribs company on the pit tomorrow.  The ribs are out to stay cool 30's tonight in the morning they get my sweet but rub and we will start the party early.  I will try to stay sober enough to remember to take pics and post as we go.  Maybe I can make it to the money shot.  Anyways here is a good start.

I am still at step 1 in a Cajun BBQ drinking coffee.

  Building a basting sauce and checking on the REd fish fillets, Peg got her BBq sauce built and beans seasoned up last  night so she is ahead on her part of the game.  Will be back later to bring yall up to speed I'll let yall know when I get to step 2 drinking water.

Ya know a little drip in ya Community sure helps keep that early morning nip out of ya bones this AM. I am not Irish but I can be. I like a little Tia Maria and/or Baileys. It even makes Eric Clapton sound better. It may have something to do with the humidity and barometric pressure and the relative density of the air and how the strings reverberate a bit more crisp when its cool and early.

Sounds like its going to be a fun day. Since it is carnival season, remember to practice your carnival shout, "Hey Mister throw......." I made donuts the other day and baby Sis said I should have made a King Cake. Yep yep yep.... its getting to be that time.
