$$$$ Dinner

The Community Health Foundation of Ponca City, OK has an annual fund raiser and I was asked to donate a BBQ dinner for the auction.  Surprisingly, some very generous people donated some cash, and in return they got an evening of BBQ delights from Nordy...

This was a fairly big cook for me as I had never really made a full meal for this many people before, but I was up for the challenge.  (OK, OK.... my wife cooked some of it too)  Unfortunately, I forgot to take many pictures... but I'll post what I've got.  

Menu - ABT's  (Atomic Buffalo Turds - a.k.a. Stuffed Jalapenos), Berry Spinach Salad, Pulled Pork, Brisket, Baked Beans, Roasted Red Potatoes, Dinner Rolls, and Triple Chocolate Cake.  

I really enjoyed the cooking... but enjoyed the eating and the evening more.  Thanks to all who donated to this great local foundation... you know who you are!

Hey Chuck... Don't forget your veggies.... 

"RRIIIIIIBBBBBSSS!" and beans...

So some friends of ours have us over and make some crazy good beans... and they were nice enough to give me the recipe.  Knowing I can cook about anything on the PG1000, I could not wait to get them on the pit for a trial run! My three year old daughter Jenna went shopping with me for "supplies" for the beans.  As we were walking through the store I asked her "What should we make to go with the beans?"  Her reply, "RRIIIIIBBBBSSS!"  I'm pretty sure everyone in the store heard her... It was one of my proudest moments as a father.

The beans were great - I made them with some pulled pork I had in the freezer, and the ribs weren't bad either.

Jenna was happy with them anyway... I guess that's what matters.

Poor Kelli was out of town and missed all the yum!  Hope she had fun at her "scrap-booking convention"
