Homemade Chocolate ice cream ready to go into the freezer.

No excuse for the "meet" error other than being half asleep and 1/4 drunk. And homemade ice cream sound awesome CycleTex. I think I will go on the search for my freezer. That grinding hum of that motor is music to my ears.

Homemade chocolate and strawberry ice cream made last night.  Wife called an audible on the vanilla at midnight and said she's fine using the Creamy Creations in the fridge.

She's making cookies right now for some July 4th ice cream cookies.

Salsa made and getting happy in the fridge.

Bought lobster tails at HEB yesterday and will be doing lobster rolls.  Also bought a pound of shrimp because...why not.

Planning a watermelon, mint, and feta salad as well.

And I've been drinking mimosas for a couple of hours, so the chance I go digging in the freezer and pantry to make something awesome has reached 88%.

Pork butt went on just before 7:00. Fixin to clean jalapenos for poppers to smoke after removing my butt: pimento cheese, brisket, and dove.

Thinking about using this recipe, some variation of it.

Will likely add some homegrown cherry tomatoes as well.

There's about a thousand recipes online.  Google "Watermelon feta salad".

It's much easier if you just do it for us.

Pork butt and poppers are done. Coleslaw is in the cooler and we're headed to a gathering of 10 people or less.

Brisket grilled cheese on sourdough for lunch.

'Merica!

Multitasking now. Need to go make the watermelon feta thing

 

[PantsTent 2002]

Our dessert is a graham cracker, cream cheese, pudding thing that gets topped with cool whip so I divided it up and put some food coloring in the cool whip.

Yeah I mean there was no way to make a US flag without it all smearing so just “red white and blue “ it was

[4th&Five 41606]

Ceviche, chicken tacos and grilled corn. Easy peasy.

Ended up going with watermelon, cucumber, tomatoes, feta, mint, and lime juice.  It did not suck.

I like beef ribs. I like brisket. I like that post. 

[Baboontyme 2829]

Back to basics with the WSM. Pork ribs last night were fantastic. Beef rib rack on right now.

The fuck

[utee94 15870]

So anyone cooking something special for the 4th?

I've got a couple slabs of beef short ribs off the plate, and a couple racks of pork spare ribs I'll be doing, to be ready late afternoon/early evening.  If I stay sober enough, I might take some pictures and post them.
