I’ve already done some St. Louis spares for Mari Jo’s girl gaggle get-together at Lake Norman on Sunday and I’m smoking a chuck roast today. We’re going the slow-food route this year since it’s just us two. Smash burgers sound like fun.

Maybe some dogs and burgers on the kettle. Maybe wings - I haven't used the vortex in awhile. No company for the holiday; I am leaving for Montego Bay Saturday. Red Stripe and rum for the next week. And goat...Comment

I think I'm barely gonna make it home in time for fireworks from the Giants vs Braves game the day before. I'm kinda bummed as I would have liked to throw a butt or something on the MAK. Neighbor is grilling dogs though, so I'll make sure I get a couple extra charred ones for me!Comment

We're coming up to a hot spell: 111 today, working up to 115 on Saturday. Son and family will be here Thursday night from Ventura, so they're in for a (less than) treat.
Lots of ice cream, watermelon, frozen pops and sprinklers. Hot dogs and brats, SLC ribs, corn on the cob and potato salad are all I have planned.Comment

Just the two of us so we decided it would be a good day for paella, especially now that local fresh produce is available.Comment

Filet mignon dry-brined, Brazilian potato salad, Key lime pie (with fresh Key limes juice!), maybe some pão de queijo....the rest we'll just play by ear, really whatever fresh veggies and fruits we have around. The weather will have a little bearing on cooking outside.Comment

Picked up some nice big fresh bratwurst out of the meat case at The Fresh Market today, to toss on with the burgers on Thursday, along with their fresh ground chuck at $3.99 a pound (Tuesday special). I've been seeing fzxdoc Kathryn talk in the past about how good their various sausages are, and these looked bigger than the brats I can buy at Sam's Club. Just got 8, at $4.99 a pound, since there will be burgers and hot dogs as well.
Also bought another 3 pack of their ribs that were so good on Father's Day, but gonna work tonight to make hamburger patties and vacuum seal those and individual slabs of ribs for the deep freeze.
Also rethinking my ice cream recipe to do an orange sherbet or something similar, since one grand baby has come up with a potential egg allergy. My normal ice cream I use Eggbeaters in place of the eggs I used to use decades ago, before we heard about salmonella concerns from fresh eggs...Comment

To update my daughter and family will be here on Thursday. And my S.I.L. will bring some lobster to boil up. He make the best lobster rolls. Ribs are almost defrosted. So a surf and turf 4th.Originally posted by RichieB View PostComment

Flying by the seat of my pants so far as usual.
whatever happens, it will be pretty casual.
probably burgers or dogs, but maybe ribs. Probably mac and cheese for sure.
Calling for T storms late afternoon / early evening (not unusual this time of year), so we may be eating early...lolComment

Family plans finally came together this morning, and even that is way more organized than we usually are. Daughter, her boyfriend and the two grandkids will come over sometime in the afternoon.
I picked up a rack of pork loin back ribs and a rack of St. Louis cuts yesterday. I'm thawing a package of hot dogs for the grandson who won't eat ribs (gotta work on that boy!) and I also found some andouille to thaw. There's also some corn and a big batch of CSA potatoes we never got to.
The ribs will go on the LSG Adjustable. I need to make a batch of our family recipe KC style sauce today for the ribs.
The Pit Boss Copperhead will be set to 400 to roast the potatoes, corn, hot dogs and andouille. I'll make street corn mix on the side for the adults to put on their corn (I'm thinking a dab of mayo, queso fresco and tajin).
Edit to add a photo of the Pit Boss Copperhead that I bought to use both as a holding oven and as its intended pellet smoking capability since WayneT didn't remember my discussion about it a couple of months ago.

We’re hosting up at the lake house and we’re planning on just catering from the grocery store. We did a few weeks ago and it was perfect. More boat time. However they’re not taking any more orders so I’m going to smoke a pork shoulder or two overnight on the Traeger for our lunch and then my wife is making a pasta bake. My MIL is bringing up Italian beef from a place called Serelli’s which is a family favorite apparently that’ll go in a slow cooker. Oh and Kirkland hot dogs for the kids.Comment

A friend is having his 4th of July party on Saturday so I was asked to bring BBQ, so I am going to throw 2 butts on the PBC Saturday morning...which will lead to also making two sauces, one sweet and one vinegar, and pickled red onions...Comment
