Party pics from this past weekend (lotsa pics!)

JamesB · 06-09-2009, 01:41 AM

My buddy Gary's daughter is pregnant and her husband (Houston) is about to be shipped out to Afghanistan for a year so we had a little combo baby shower/going away party. On Friday night I cooked 2 briskets and 2 butts via telephone (Gary did these at his house on WSMs). On Saturday, Me, Gary and another friend, Andy, went out to Houston's parents house, fired up the pit and threw some ribs and sausage on...

Had a great time relaxing, drinking beer, smoking cigars and talking a little bit about BBQ. Can't wait to do it again when Houston comes home. For some reason didn't get any finished rib pics... Must have been the beer.

Prepping Ribs

Ribs on

Wings and sausage for lunch. Made ABTs too, but no pics

Getting ready to prep those ABTs that I don't have pics of

Gary prepping chicken

Andy helping out :)

This is Houston. He will be in Afghanistan in 2 weeks.

Checking the ribs for doneness

Slicing briskets

Food

All done cooking... and all covered in grease and grime. That's Andy on the left, the fat guy in the middle is me.

What a mess

I get to clean this up too.

Gods speed.

Good day, good grub, and good times had by all! Good luck to Houston and his safe return!

Wampus · 06-09-2009, 09:00 AM

Great looking grub. Nice looking cooker too!

Thanks to Houston for all you do for us back here at home. Praying for your safety and your family!

jswordy · 06-09-2009, 09:09 AM

Man, that is the bomb, right there!

Wow, what a spread. Good luck and thank you to Houston.

And thanks for all the pix. I always seem to find some little innovation when there are lots of BBQ event prep pix, and your table leg extensions caught my eye this time.

I volunteer to help as much as Andy at your next one! Heheheh...

drewc · 06-09-2009, 09:16 AM

Great looking food. Tell Houston what a friend told me everytime she wrote me....Keep your head down and watch your six!!

chambersuac · 06-09-2009, 09:17 AM
