BBQ Plates

Brownie's first love is Barbeque.  He just couldn't help himself this weekend, he had to use that smoker!  I should have known when he came home with a grocery bag from Market of Choice that I was in for it.  Sending him to MOC is like sending me to a shoe store!  It's a playground and his imagination goes wild!

So yes, we had BBQ ribs, BBQ chicken sausages, BBQ shrimp, grilled veggies and a yummy salad from their deli.  We ate huge plates of food (I couldn't finish - too much meat!) and spoke in southern accents describing the food.  Hey, we said we were foodies, we didn't say we weren't odd! :-)

BBQ Ribs

If there's anything Brownie loves, its smoking meat on his BBQ!  This process takes hours - it's a labor of love.  Sometimes he will stay up all night, setting alarms and checking charcoal and wood throughout the night just to get the meat perfect for the next day.  

Which means ... neither of us sleep.  But ribs don't take all night.  He started these today and by the time I got home from dance practice - they were nearly done and ready to rest.

When he cut into them ... oh my!  Juicy and tender and just right!  Now we're off to dig into these and get messy!  Goodnight all!
