Bay Area/Norcal Bash Saturday Nov 17th

Fantastic food. Looks like the weather cleared up for you all.
When I see my boss on Monday, I'm gonna kick him in the scrotum.

Great to catch up with you guys today. Thanks to BBQPD and his wife Deny for hosting at their BBQ shop.

Yes the family and I had a great time. All of the food was amazing!! I thought I was going to have to lay down in the back of the truck while the wife drove cause I ate to much lol. Thanks again all and look forward to more of these!!

Mike

OK Mike, I used "Walkerswood Jamaican Jerk spicy seasoning. The only place I have found it locally is Cost Plus, but you can buy it on line. It's pretty much a paste, so I used about 2 tablespoons of it with equal parts of olive oil. I marinated the wings for about 3 hours, then gave them a heavy dose of Dizzy Pig Pineapple head. Here's the easy part, put them in a 275* smoker for about 1 1/2 hours, or until golden and somewhat crispy, and don't forget the very enjoyable ice cold drinks while those babies are making magic, and you know the rest :mrgreen:.

What a great Bash with great folks. A big thanks to all those who braved the weather, which really wasn't all that bad. And a huge thanks to all that contributed to the food coma I am experiencing right now. There was so much good food, I can't even begin to decide who I want to blame for my coma, but for sure Marty and John had a big part in it, but let me tell you, there was so much outstanding chow on the table, you're all to blame :mrgreen:. And a huge thank you to Oak Pit, Mister Tim, for the very great beers. That was some awesome brews :thumb:. Thank you all again for a great day, and we'll do it again in the spring.

That was a 50/50 mix of The Rub Co Santa Maria & Oakridge Habanero Death Dust.

And that was some awesome chicken, so you are partially to blame for my food coma, but so worth it :biggrin1:. And many thanks again for the Mirror Pond, cause great minds think alike :thumb:.

It was a long but fun day of cooking & overeating!

Here's a bunch of pics of the whole day.

After a we put up the first canopy:

L-R Mrs Sir Porkalot (Lady Porkalot? ), Odin The Dog, Groundhog66, Sir Porkalot, MartyLeach

Up to 4 canopies with the arrival of Igotgas, mikeyd, their families & a brief but decent amount of rain:


THE FOOD

Marty's messy but flavorful hot wings in various stages:




The quiche experiment I decided to try in the Mini Egg (the thought of a nine inch pie being shielded by a 7 inch pan = direct heat on the outer crust didn't cross my mind until it was too late):


Marty's pastrami #1(it flew off the board so fast I only got this pic of the remnants:


My brisket:



BBQ PD's tri-tp chili:


Groundhog's beans:


Some salad & dessert (from mikeyd's family):


White chicken chili from Igotgas:


Marty's paella:




BBQ PD's ribs & Groundhog66's thighs:







My pulled pork pizza:


My cookies (baked on the hasty bake & placed on a cold kettle to cool a bit):


BBQ PD's wings:


Someone really enjoyed your ribs Dave!


And a group shot (missing Odin The Dog & Sir Porkalot)

D'oh! :doh:

That's why posting while suffering from sleep deprivation and a severe food coma is not a good idea. I was literally nodding off writing that post and went to sleep immediately after sending it. I've missed the window to make an edit.

Here's the pics:

BBQ PD's tri-tip chili:


Groundhog's beans:


Some salad & dessert (from mikeyd's family):


Mike - that rice pudding you guys made was really tasty. I brought some home to my wife & my MIL and they both really liked it.

Outstanding!!! Looks like you guys had an awesome time and not surprizingly some great food too. :thumb:


I must ask if that desert mikeyd brought is portuguese arroz doce? It sure looks like it from here. :hungry:

Thanks for the great pics everybody and especially thanks to Dave and Deny for hosting this event at their store. I knew this would be a great time unless it got too windy, which it didn't. That was a lot of fun and can't wait to do it again!

I made it home about 1/2 an hour ago still full...... :doh:
Thanks for all of the pics....... Yep! it was all GREAT! I should know......
'Cuz I sampled at least one hmmmmmm.......well maybe a couple of EACH, starting with Dave's breakfast dish (forgot the name) at about 9a and finished day with scrumptious rice pudding (about 4:30p).
You are all guilty of contributing (in a good way) to a miserable night in my motel room.........Thank you very much :shock:

I enjoyed seing familar faces and meeting some new folks...Thanks to all, I had a great time. :thumb::thumb::thumb:

A BIG......Thanks! :clap: to Dave 'n Deny for letting us hold our group therapy session in your back yard.....:shock:

Hey!! I thought you were going to keep that a secret? haha....wish I could have made it by, all the food looks great and sounds like you all had a blast.
Next Time!

Guys, looks like a great time was had by all, wish I had been there. I do hope to be able to attend the next one so I will be checking the site daily to continue to lean as well as find out the date of the next gathering.

What a GREAT time! I think I am still full. Thank you so much to our awesome hosts Dave and Deny. Always nice to see old friends and make some new ones. Also Thanks to John for all these wonderful pics!

Looks like a great time was had by all, I am disappointed to miss the Bash. Hopefully the next one.
