We BBQ'd ribs on the grill. To go with that..... Potato Salad, Deviled Eggs, Coleslaw, Cantaloupe, Watermelon....... various other little munchies....
Strawberry Shortcake later!
We also have our beverages... Beer, Long Island Iced Tea, Vodka/ Cranberry.....
Anything else that someone has brought.....
What have you got?????
Returning home from a long drive, so just cheese-steak subs. they were good though.
shareCowboy caviar with tortilla chips, pizzas on the grill, tabbouleh salad, watermelon and tres leeches cake with berries!
shareSounds good!
I have to ask.... what is Cowboy caviar????
It's a dip made with black beans, black eyed peas, tomatoes, green onions, tossed with vinegar and oil. No idea where the name came from but's it's great with the chips!
shareOne of my favorites! You can also replace the vinegar and oil with Zesty Italian salad dressing for a more robust flavor, if that suits your taste.
shareWe had hamburgers, macaroni salad, tomato salad, and cherries for dinner. Our dessert was cheesecake with blueberries and strawberries in the shape of the flag.
shareI wasn't able to watch because I was at work, but I got a great Bloomin' Onion that night. It was during the time the marathon was on, does that count? ;)
shareSorry to go off topic but did you notice they showed the weirdest and I guess creepiest episodes at the latest hour. Talking Tina was on at 11:30 and The Dummy was on at midnight. Two of my favorite episodes along with the one about the little boy controlling everything with his mind. Forgot the name of that episode
shareAre you referring to "It's A Good Life"?
shareI had a cocktail a few years back that I didn't even know existed. It was called "Twilight Zone" and consisted of the following:
1/4 oz. Bacardi White Rum
1/4 oz. Bacardi Dark Rum
1/4 oz. Bacardi 151 Proof Rum
1/4 oz. Triple Sec
1 splash(es) Orange Juice
1 splash(es) Pineapple Juice
Combine over ice in a Collins glass. Garnish with pineapple slices and cherries.
Yes.. It's a Good Life
shareOk..... I'm lost......
What is a Bloomin' Onion??? I must know!
I confess that I'm an old bag from the mid west. Is that an onion that is seasoned and baked and sort of separates?
They are onions that are cut to look as though they are "bloomin'", breaded, fried, and served with ranch dressing for dipping. Outback restaurants serve them as appetizers, but they are also somewhat common at carnivals (that's where I had mine).
shareThanks. I haven't been to a carnival in years..... don't have an Outback here.
shareA Kanamit friend of mine brought over some delicious sliders but he didn't say what type of meat it was. Tasted like pork but not exactly.
shareWash it down with a glass of "Instant Smile."
shareWe had pulled pork sandwiches on buns out of all of our left over BBQ'd ribs. I slow cooked the pork the next day. It was so tender. Is that anything like the sliders you had?
shareI had a friend bring something like that. He gave me the recipe, but I couldn't read it.
