EdF mine is "shiny" because it is 4:00 AM and the porch light is reflecting on it.

Memorial Day BBQ was pretty good. Had 13 people over, did a 7.5 lb pork butt, 2 racks of back ribs and 1 chicken. Plus all the sides that folks brought, including chips and homemade salsa, corn muffins, macaroni salad, 2 coleslaws and a fruit salad. The teenage boys destroyed the pulled pork ..... there’s maybe one portion leftover.
