For the 4th...nothing
For July 1 (Canada Day) smoked pork shoulder, smoked brisket, slaw, smoked
red bell peppers in the slaw. Grilled burgers and dawgs will be there too.

I wish I could make some beaver tail soup....but I can't find any beaver
tail meat.

I just posted mine under the baked beans thread. But for reprisal,
here goes.

Smoked pork butt which will turn into pulled pork. Buns for those
that want to make sandwiches.
Coleslaw.
Potato salad
Baked beans
Probably deviled eggs from the matriarch of my adopted family
Probably nectarine ice cream, and sugar cookies.

Not sure what else, if anything.

Planning to put together a picnic and go to the marina with the teenager
to watch fireworks. Normally, I just stay put on the holidays, but I
thought she'd like it.

The plan:

Tofu with Thai chili sauce over rice (she requested it; stop looking at
me like that)
Assorted melon chunks
Some sort of sandwiches
A grain salad
Juice

Drunken chicken - what makes it 'drunken'? Beer? Hope it's not
tequila... ;-) Peanut butter ice cream sounds good to me too...

There's no alcohol in Drunken Chicken but Thais think it is a hangover

Cheap beer, grilled hamburgers, coleslaw, good beer, fireworks,

Yeah, you sit the chicken upright on a half full beer can and grill it
over charcoal or gas. Of course you put a rub on it first to help the
flavor.

I pulled down two recipes for peanut butter ice cream from the web, both
sound good but I'll make them at separate times. Many years ago, late
sixties if I remember correctly, Blue Bell Ice Cream made a flavor
called Peanutty Fudge. Only made it for one year and I've missed it
since. Tried to eat all of it I could back then in hopes they would keep
it in the line.

No, but we can get Lone Star now (it doesn't qualify for cheap or good,
tho') and Shiner. :-)

There's lots of breweries in MN and WI, and they run the full spectrum
-- the most pretentious cheap beer is called "Milwaukee Special Reserve
Ice" from LaCrosse, WI. I don't know what's Special or Reserve about
it, but it's cheap and it wets your whistle; about like Pearl Light but
with twice the alcohol. No nasty flavors to it, just not much flavor at
all.

I think the cheapest beer I ever bought was Buckhorn. Back in the
sixties it was 99 cents a six-pack and worth every penny of it.

I've had Narragansett beer in New England, National Bohemian in
Maryland, Pearl and LSD (Lone Star Draft) in Texas and I finally just
quit drinking in disgust. Oh yeah, don't forget Falstaff, Jax, Dixie and
Griesedick from out west.

It was still 99 cents when I was at A&M in the late 70's.

And that Hamm's bear was a hoot (funnier than Yogi.)

BTW, was there really a beer called Fabacher? Or was that just a spoof
from a Jax marketing campaign?

For July 1st Canada Day - leftover BBQ from last week.
For July 2nd (probably a holiday somewhere) - leftover BBQ from last
week.
For July 3rd (probably a holiday somewhere) - leftover BBQ from last
week.
For July 4th Independence Day - leftover BBQ from last week.
For July 5th (probably a holiday somewhere) - leftover BBQ from last
week.
Sense a pattern?

IIRC there really was a beer called Fabacher. The Fabacher family made
Jax in New Orleans, I think the old brewery is a mall now. Problem with
Jax is that it was not consistent, it was made with Mississippi River
water that had to be cleaned up first.

We're going over to a friend's house to fix her computer. We still don't
know what we're going to eat because it's supposed to rain all day and her
gas grill is in an uncovered area. I'm bringing homemade blueberry muffins
for a dessert (along with lots of software and free computer service). I
can't eat meat and my husband won't eat carbs so........ my friend is
stymied on what to make. I told her to make a huge salad and *I'll* be
happy with that.

My friend's pregnant daughter will be there along with her daughter's
boyfriend, my friend's two sons, my husband of course, and my husband and I
are picking up our neighbor. We're thinking 8 - 9 people. They can have
what they want to eat; I'll happily take a salad! :~)

No beaver near here, but if you'd like I could ship the remains of the
woodchuck that's been rooting around in my garden. I thought he was cute
until he started taking chunks out of my trash can lid.

supplying hot dogs, hamburgers and fixins' and guests are bringing
sides. I'm bringing baked (crock-potted) beans. <g> I hop emy GF Nancy

Beer can chicken is my all-time favorite chicken. I use a rub, too. I
also stick an onion or small potato in the neck hole of the chicken. We
have a huge gas grill so I make the chicken on the non-fire side and
stick a few foil-wrapped chunks of hickory on the fire-side.

My very favorite is Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale from Halifax, Nova
Scotia. They refuse to export it so I have to rely upon the kindness of
Canadian friends who are coming south for the winter to bring me a 6 pack.

I know, even if you smoke just one thing it's a large one. All day
and night, huh? That's dedication.

Yep. I'm smoking 12 pounds for the holiday and there's just the two
of us. Plus any wandering neighbors. <G> I've got my cherry
connection lined up for a trunk load of seasoned wood. I think the
pile I'm getting is at least 3 years old. I might pick up a picnic to
toss in there too. Smoked piggie freezes wonderfully.

A picnic takes 15+ hours usually. Lots or beer drinking time.

I smokes a 7 lb brisket, a 6 lb pork shoulder roast and 6 red bell peppers
today...took all day and I'll be freezing most of it. It's good to be me.

I pigged out on the brisket today, I'll meal size the remainder as well as
the pork and freeze the lot. I'll eat it over the next month or 2. I need
to wait till tomorrow to freeze as I'm outa plastic bags and being Canada
day the plastic bag stores are closed. Have I mentioned it's Canada Day?

Whoops, that was supposed to read 'I thought he was cute until he stripped
my tomato plants, tore up my flowers and started biting chunks out of my
trash can lid.

He's not dead, he's merely sleeping.

It's not that big of a deal, Pete. It's kind of a "set it and forget it"
thingy. It's actually really easy. Put an instant-read meat thermometer in
the dome vent of your smoker monitor what the internal temp of the smoker
is. If the temp falls below 250F, put another chimney of lump or wood in.
We usually use about 2 chimneys of wood per smoke. If it's brisket,
possibly 3, but that's the max. Stick a probe thermometer, such as a
Polder, into the meat to monitor the internal temp of what you're cooking.
The rest of the time, sit back, have a beer and enjoy the fragrance. The
key is, DON'T LIFT THE LID!

We've gone all night, sleeping, before, without having to replace the wood.
Woke up to the heavenly fragrance of hot pork, just waiting to be pulled.

I've had pork take as long as 12 hours and as few as 6. It just depends.
We've done two of the same size at the same time with hours difference in
done-time, if that makes any sense. As my husband says, "It's done when
it's done!"

I'll have to give that a try. I usually put the chicken rack into a small
cake pan, so I guess its cooking indirectly, but I have the pan over active
burner. I usually put chunks of onion and garlic in the pan and put a little
beer in there as well. gives me something to nosh on while I'm cutting up
the chicken.
