I dunno yet. It depends on whether the Weber Smokey Mountain arrives
in time. If it does, I may try and do a brisket if I have enough time
to try a couple of "test burns" ahead of time.

Otherwise, it'll be a 14lb turkey on the Weber Silver B in the
rotisserie with corn on the cob, grilled summer squash, baked
potatoes, strawberry shortcake for dessert.

I'm dodging Frances, just after spending a weekend with Charlie. I do own a new

The loin medium at most sounds great to me, with the slaw corn on the
cob, etc I don't see how you can go wrong.

Burgers are always a hit with kids and maybe even some hot dogs.
Children aren't scary, give 'em some games, food, and stuff to "build"
their own dessert and they'll be in heaven.

Or, maybe you should just kick back, relax and enjoy the weekend for
yourself for a change?

As I tell Nanc', time I enjoy wasting is *not* wasted time. Just a
thought...

We're having our priest, his wife and his kids over Sunday night.
We're having an all night game extravaganza playing Boggle, Empire
Builders, Scrabble, Scattergories, Cranium and whatever else we come up
with. Monday, we will be recovering.

We're also going to a family wedding on Saturday.

We're supposed to have our group of 5 friends here, unless plans change.
We're planning half homemade and half take-out -- there's a new "old
fashioned BBQ" joint that we've been wanting to try, so we're planning
to buy the ribs and make potato salad, baked beans, and some kind of
dessert (not decided yet), maybe some rolls.

Ribs, beer, chicken, beer, tomato salad, beer, potato salad, beer, cole

Ironically, I may end up running in to work for a bit. We're rolling out a
big new database system in one of our departments and it's going into
production this week (including a web component I didn't realize I'd have
to install yesterday and that isn't fully functional, and the developer for
this is quitting the firm on Friday). So we're scrambing to get the web

Picnic at the Hollywood Bowl at Movie night.

http://www.hollywoodbowl.com/tix/per...il.cfm?id=1782


Artists:

Hollywood Bowl Orchestra
John Mauceri, conductor
Program:

The triumph of "Rocky"...the coolness of James Bond...the hilarity of "The
Pink Panther"... the splendor of "Dances with Wolves." It's the Bowl's
annual Movie Night with John Mauceri and the Bowl Orchestra - great movie
scores with scenes projected on the Bowl's big screen. Produced in
cooperation with MGM/UA.

Thinking about a "Cold Steak" Salad - Crusty rolls - and a nice bottle or 2
of zinfandel.

Boy, what a schedule. Is that what they really mean about Labor Day
weekend? I hope you get through all that OK and enjoy your vacation (and
that the house is coming along OK).

For pork loin, I use a recipe from Julia Child's MAFC:

dry rub per lb of pork
1 tsp salt
1/8 pepper
1/4 thyme (or sage)
1/8 bay leaf
pinch allspice
1/2 clove garlic

rub the loin and put it in the fridge the day before. brown the roast
in a couple of tblspns of fat of choice. Remove the loin, pour off
excess fat, and put in 2 tbl butter, sliced yellow onion, sliced
carrot, 2 cloves unpeeled garlic, saute for about 5 minutes. Put loin
back in, cover, stick in oven at 325 for about 2 hours (180 to 185 meat
temp)

After it's done, take out the meat, pour in 1/2 cup dry vermouth (dry
white wine, water, or stock is ok too), simmer a couple of minutes,
skim fat, take out veggies (can mash a few into the juice), boil down
to about 1 cup.

This is delicious. I've made it a bunch of times. The pork is very
juicy and tender and just falls apart.

LOL!

As do Orthodox priests and our priests who are neither Anglican,
Episcopalian, Orthodox nor Roman Catholic. We belong to the Charismatic
Episcopal Church which is episcopal in its governance but has no tie to
the Episcopal church other than being Christian. I don't know if Coptic
Priests marry.

I know this whole thread is getting long, but is *this* weekend labor day
weekend? I'm out of the loop, I guess. One day just blends into another

Good luck Jill. Hunker down! Hopefully it won't be too bad.

As for my menu, it's probably changed 'cause my WSM is being delivered
today. What it's changed to though I haven't a clue yet. Brisket,
pulled pork, ribs, turkey? Hm, dunno... decisions, decisions, decisions

Defrosting my freezer and maybe mowing the grass.
Not going anywhere or having anyone over. Will
cook next week's dinners, probably a Cuban roast
pork I've been wanting to try. It's going to be
such an exciting weekend I can hardly contain myself.
The anticipation is almost more than I can bear.

Defrosting my freezer and maybe mowing the grass.
Not going anywhere or having anyone over. Will
cook next week's dinners, probably a Cuban roast
pork I've been wanting to try. It's going to be
such an exciting weekend I can hardly contain myself.

I don't do anything laborious on Labour Day. My wife is coming back
from a two-week trip to Europe (part business, part visits to old
friends) and I'm looking forward to spending the last three days of my
summer vacation enjoying the dolce farniente.

Here in Cincinnati they have an big annual fireworks show down by the river the
Sunday night before Labor Day, but I'll just watch it on TV as I don't like
large crowds of people.

I just started a new diet and exercise regimen which includes more fruit and
veggies and less calories/carbs/fat, so maybe I'll steam some salmon and
veggies, and for dessert perhaps some fresh raspberries.
