Friday's resolution was to "Throw a Shin-Dig!"
We went ALL out. John's parents were on their way in town, and the smoker seemed to be calling John's name. John smoked pork shoulders and beef brisket starting around 5:30pm on Friday. The meat was pulled off around 6 or so on Saturday evening. I'm pretty sure that the whole city of Savannah could smell our backyard. If your mouth was watering last night, I'll go ahead and say that it was our doing. John added sausage and a few other goodies to the smoker before everyone arrived to the house. We have 14 adults and 9 tots in our tiny abode. If you live anywhere in the south east of the US then you know the tornado weather that has been going on outside. We'll, the weather sirens were blasting, but we grilled on! The weather didn't keep anyone away either. We just ate, drank, laughed, and kissed booboo's all night - while sitting cozy in the house! The meal was a great success. I was a little disappointed that my super cute outside decorations weren't used, but if that was the only downfall, it was a great night. It was our first big smoke-out, and John was a bit nervous. He had never met the husbands of most of the women coming. He didn't want anyone to leave with a sour taste in their mouth (literally) - so he was focused on his meat all day. (haha) I'm pretty sure the food was loved across the board. We have leftovers for the week, however, there was a total of over 50lbs (YES FIFTY POUNDS) of meat on that smoker. We thought we would have a freezer full afterward, but that is a joke! But no complaints - I'm just happy that bellies were full and that people will want to come back over next time!
Our Recycle system worked perfect with the guests!!!
Saturday's Resolution: Clean out the pantry... Well, that was delayed until today - as I was not reorganizing before we had a party! But the task has been completed, and my pantry looks AWESOME! (And I'm hoping that it dwindles away here soon.... this is my first trip that I will NOT buy a boxed item!)
Sunday's Resolution: Scrub the bathrooms. (ugh - another cleaning one?!?!? Stupid jar of resolutions - give me a GOOD ONE.)
Tomorrow's resolution: take a picture of the babies. (that's better!)
