I took a vacation day at work, so my Labor Day weekend starts today! *happy dance*
We decided last night to have a barbecue on Sunday. Fine and dandy. It won't be quite as large as our epic Labor Day barbecues in the past since it's kinda spur-of-the-moment, but that's fine by me. I can't wait, it should be a lot of fun.
So yeah, we're firing up the smoker early on Sunday morning and having:
- chicken
- pulled pork
- sausage
- brisket
- jalapeno poppers (jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped with bacon)
- potato salad
- grilled corn on the cob
- homemade mac & cheese
- homemade honey wheat rolls
- rice pilaf
- borracho beans (beans cooked with beer, peppers, tomatoes, onions and ham or bacon)
- fruit salad
- cake (haven't decided what kind yet)
- fudge
SO glad we got the kitchen remodel done! Trying to do all this is my formerly tiny kitchen would be a nightmare. On a sidenote: I find it hilarious that I keep our freezer, fridges and pantry so fully-stocked that I can throw a spontaneous barbecue for 30 people and barely buy any groceries. All I had to get were the potatoes, jalapenos and corn. :rofl1:
So, anybody else having a Labor Day get-together?
