Rain Rain Go Away.........






Has anybody got a used Ark for sale?
I have been wet for 3 days, and it's getting on my last nerve.
Yesterday I had a hankerin for a smoked turkey, I had hoped it would clear up just a tad but No Such Luck! Ever tried to start and keep a charcoal fire going in a driving rain storm?
Hahaha...It CAN be done kiddies. As you can see, I used a little 'Yankee' ingenuity..
The corn was ungodly sweet
The Home-Grown Tomatos sprinkled with Feta cheese and drizzled with Olive Oil was spectacular.
The 5 1/2 hour apple-wood smoked turkey was moist and very flavorful.
My BIL and SIL came to dinner with us and brought a New York Cheesecake froms Sam's..So in spite of a lousy day weatherwise..We ate Good!!!
.
Tomorrow I'll have to tell you about my basement springing a leak during the closing moments of dinner...Stay Tuned!
.
Peace..!!!

We got just short of 5 and a half inches of rain in all this mess. I could not believe how bad it affected everything. And my TV was out a lot becuase of all the rain too. Eventually however it all came to an end ... and I did not get a wonderful dinner like you had. Drats. But something like that may be in my future soon. It all looks so yummy.

Now that basement, surely you had some duct tape you could hold back the water until you were done... I hope it was not to terrible.

Oh and one more thing. You mention the tomatoes, feta cheese and EVO but you never mentioned the (is that) green olives I see on the salad. Something that simple and it looks very good too. Nicely done once again chef.

Looked good, but I knew charcoal wasn't an option Sunday.. I have a 6 in 1 Masterbuilt bullet smoker that can use propane, but has a wood pan for charcoal or wood! Worked like mad- while the rain poured down...

I always love how I can come over here for a fabulous meal :) You never let me down. Yum.

We are in a drought here - the water police will nail you if you are using excess water. In fact the water company had encouraged people to fink on their neighbors when seen using too much water - how rude! So, good luck with your rain - nice bbq cover ;)
