The Butts are On!

Started pretty early this morning. It's one of my buddy's 66th birthday so we are having a little get together...

More pics to follow...

Looking good!
Enjoy your day with friends and good food.

Nice...

Thanks Fellers...

Here we are about 5 hours or so in to the smoke...

Funny thing, I say I'm gonna smoke some BBQ for a buddy's birthday and I think it's going to be a small little get together with about 6 people, next thing you know we are already up to 10 people. Oh well... Cigars, Whiskey and stories and lies are being told at 1700 with dinner to follow at about 1830.

Mrs. Irish and I have been working on legit, stained and sealed shelves for our food storage pantry so we can get rid of the shitty plastic shelves we have and we got finished with that project and got the tools put up, so time for a beer and a bath in the outdoor tub up on the second deck...

I'll catch up with y'all after supper.

Looks great

LIVIN the Life, Nice

It turned out pretty good. We ended up having 11 people show up before the night was over and the last folks, our newest neighbors finally ended up leaving at about 10:00.

Smoked Boston Butts, Mrs. Irish's potato salad, Bettina's slaw and baked beans, Rodney brought sausages in a blanket, Mrs. Irish's strawberry/blueberry cobbler, Dorothy's Key Lime Pie and my homemade vanilla ice cream.

The Butt ready to serve...



Part of the spread...



Plated up...



The birthday boy was a pretty happy camper...



Couldn't do without posting dessert... That's the best homemade Ice cream I have ever made.

Looks like a great time for all.

Yup

1/4 inch smoke ring on that butt at least. Perfect !

making me hungry!

everything look fantastic as alway is that Rufus Teague BBQ sauce?

I think it's Williamson Brothers.

Thanks everybody!

Another great get together. Good food and good friends.

Let’s hear the ice cream recipe

And I’m kinda interested in this outdoor bathtub too…

I have never been a sweetened condensed milk guy. Always being a purist, until now.

Here's the basic recipe, but I doubled what is shown.

1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 pint of heavy whipping cream
2 teaspoons Vanilla
2 tablespoons sugar
Big pinch of salt

Mix up and pour into ice cream maker and freeze. It's the creamiest homemade ice cream I have made so far.

If I'm buying store bought, that's the sauce. Not black randy's but really good.

Irishguy living his best life.....Nice!

My birthday is Sept 29 just saying

That all looks awesome

Yes sir

Dang that cobbler looks good 👍
