Here are the potatoes we mixed up for the "Hobo Packs". We did some onion, green and red peppers along with them. Seasoned them and soaked them in some burgundy wine, italian dressing and olive oil. I cooked about 1-2 servings per foil pack with a little butter added.

My apologies for the picture rotation. I tried several times to rotate and save or upload them again and nothing would work.

We did some carne asada last night...didn't get any pictures. We did a recipe we found online. I still haven't found carne asada as good as what we used to get in CA. Anyone have a good recipe to try?

Getting ready for the big feed today:

All my kids (except for 2) and all the grandkids are over.

Been busy - just waiting for the ribs to finish.

I've got a package headed your way this week
http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n...r/photo-52.jpg

From left to right;

Pappy's Moonshine Madness.... "So Friggin' hot you'll go blind!!"..... Seriously
Arizona Gunslinger...... throw out the Tobasco, this is so much better.... plus it's from AZ!
Phoenix Wing Sauce..... this is my favorite wing/bbq sauce of all...... spicy, with just the perfect amount of sweet
Smokey Mountain Spicy BBQ Seaoning..... a seasoning Lorrie has turned us on to for everything from meat to soups
Pineapple Head..... a great seasoning for chicken and pork, although, we've been putting it on potatoes too, lately.
Bovine Bold...... a great all-around seasoning i've been putting on steak, ribs, bbq beans, green beans, etc.

Scott,

Looking good. You could be starting a very dangerous trend showing empties.

Awesome you guys are sendin each other stuff now that so kicks!!!!

Drew a high number in the Chinese gift exchange & ended up with my sister-in-law's rural town Czech meat market sampler.

On the grill tonight - cornbread stuffed chicken breast, 2 rattlesnake eggs (jalapeno stuffed with sausage & cream cheese, bacon wrapped), and stuffed sirloin (cheese, jalapeno, bacon wrapped). Veggie skewers complimented nicely. Didn't waste a pic on the Bud Light.

Still have a stuffed pork chop and 2 armadillo eggs (rattlesnakes sans the jalapeno) for this weekend. I guess in-laws aren't all bad...
