Gotta make do...
This was the dilemna, 2 yards to mow, an hour behind schedule and friends coming over later....and no 'dera yet. Loaded up the Brinkman and started the 3-2-1. while mowing first yard. Ran over to second yard, fired up a gas grill and some chips in an alum foil bag and started some boneless breasts. Finsihed second yard, packaged everything up and ran back to the casa. Pulled the ribs off for the 2 of 3-2-1 in the oven and loaded the brinkman up with fresh beer in the water pan, a couple of brats in there to, and a beer can chicken - breasts we're warming with the ribs. Since I was behind and the fella's were clamoring for food, didn't get a chance to finsish of the ribs for the last hour, big mistake, meat clung to the bones...see what happens when you cut corners! Final result, ribs were good tasting, but stuck to the bones, the breasts we gobbled up with the ribs. The beer can chicken is so-so, used Boddington's Beer (a pale) b/c they didn't have Shiner in a can, never make that mistake again! Now the brat, that was awesome, finished of on the broiler and, after several full plates, the guys still found room for Brats and spicy mustard, go figure!
The crowd was pleased, and that is all that matters....Gotta work on the ribs, and need a 'dera as well...
Have pics that I'll post soon!
Happy Fourth Fellas!
