Well, I think I'll look at everybody else's BBQ menu's for the weekend before I decide. This week's selections should be awesome!

I have 3 racks of baby back ribs to go on the grill, some pork link sausage and 2 chickens I will cut into quarters.

Side dishes will be my baked beans, macaroni salad, corn on the cob and some kind of fresh baked bread. Maybe some deviled eggs.

Desert is undecided but maybe walnut brownies or a pan of gingerbread with some canned peaches and whipped cream.

Snacks will be my standard cheese & crackers, cold boiled shrimp,French hard salami and whatever I am drinking.

Breakfast will be fried eggs, ham, grits, biscuits, hot tea and juice. Might even make some sawmill gravy if I make coffee instead of tea.

This will be the first time since 1998 I have had pork for the Arkansas game. I baked a ham and we lost that game 42-6 in Fayetteville. Now we have Nick I'm going for broke

Enough food to last through the weekend and maybe Monday.

Never tried smoking a butt or a shoulder yet. Seems like as good a time as ever.

Its not hard just time consuming or lots of beer consuming.

use indirect heat or a drip pan with some liquid below your butt or shoulder.
build a fire and add charcoal in a line away from the coals so the fire burns into the new charcoal or build a pile and put coals around the pile so the fire burns inward this gives you a long slow burn time. Try to keep the temp around 250F and the meat is done when it reaches about 190 internal temp. About 8 or more hours is a good cooking time.

another method is to place pork in pit with wood chips on coals and let smoke for a couple hours then wrap in double foil and place in 250F oven till done. You still get the nice smoke ring and dont have to tend the fire as long.

I've watched people eat them but haven't had the urge myself.

I have thought about pig ear sandwiches and a big pot of BBQ pig feet. Got pleanty of hot peppers in the garden and hommade pepper sauce. Have some fresh baked garlic/cheese bread, baked beans and potato salad or slaw. Also put a slab of ribs and butt on the grill.

All I can say is...if you don't want to like em, don't eat em.

Honestly, I have only had a couple of times many years ago, but do remember that they were quite good. Also, did I mention that they were fried???? Anything fried is good

I imagine they would taste a bit like fried liver?

I have eat tongue and it's better than it sounds.

Gotta get my baking in before the Bama game. My family loves it when we play early on Saturday's -- they know they'll have something sweet to eat for the afternoon.

Decided to make some homemade sugar cookies instead of the coconut cake today. My hubby is eating them as quick as I can pull them out of the oven.
