BBQ for the Fight: Smoked Chex Mix, Rib Tips, Moinks

[Jason TQ]

Looks like I'm not the only one doing some cooking for the fight tonight. Got some friends coming over later so doing a little bbq'ing. It is so perfect outside :-D. Here's what I've done so far. More updates as the night goes on. Hoping to make it past my bedtime to see the main event :shock:

Grabbed random things to go on the tips today

Used leftover ground sausage from last week to make some bacon wrapped balls and added whatever was left in the marmalade jar. We'll see how it works with the combo of bratwurst and curry sausage meat

It all looks excellent, looks like you all are in for a fine afternoon and evening!

[ShadowDriver]

I second Jack's "fine afternoon & evening" comment!

Very interested in your "Smoked Chex Mix" idea above.

Momma's pasta salad looks light and tasty!

Hope the fight is a real barn burner! There's been enough hype associated... but that's for another section of the forum..

Enjoy!

[Bob C Cue]

Looks like a knockout to me. Nice work.

Yeah were just folks that like the big sporting events. I don't watch NFL but will watch the Super Bowl. Not huge into boxing but gotta see this one. And it's a great reason to gather and drink beer and eat BBQ.

Looks good to my I do like the smoked chex mix idea

Ha! Luckily just wanted to watch it to see what happened. Was hoping for Pacquiao, but knew it probably wouldn't happen.
