My wife is watching some friends kids while they have a weekend away. Last night we ordered out pizza and today I grilled some flank steak on the KJ for fajitas.

Today we had jambalaya with chicken and sausage that we made last night to eat just before going to the game.
10.5 lbs pork shoulder is off the egg and wrapped. Making potato salad, Carolina slaw and baked beans for sides. We are watching our grandson later this afternoon so no beer or cocktails this evening.
Tonight we’re going to have the crunchy taco beef casserole topped with Sargento Tex-Mex shredded cheese. This afternoon we’ll have a couple of ice cold longnecks watching the preliminary games but for our game it’ll be a tumbler of Knob Creek small batch 100* or two…… Life is good in Gator Nation!

This morning over coffee, Mrs. GT350 asked for low country boil for Saturday night...just for two of us. Ok. Get only beer boiling (I dont use water), add red potatoes, andouille sausage, onion, corn, and last jumbo shrimp in a bath of simmering beer with Old Bay and Veronica Taylor's New Orleans spice. The Old Bay with VT will be an experiment on my part. In past with many people, it's always been the big outdoor pot on the propane. Then one time last year my wife had an idea for 2 couples. Let's do low country and have people custom their own pot (I may have posted this before, cant recall). I bought new paint cans at Ace Hardware, cleaned them good, wrote out instructions next to all the ingredients and had each do their own. Some heavy on sausage, others heavy on corn. Served with jacked up corn bread from cast iron skillet on grill and plenty of butter. The key to me is to use beer, not water. Which side tracks me to margaritas....with some beer in it. !!
Low Country Boil = Yum! Door County Fish Boil = Uck! Nothing wrong with throwing some crawdads into the boil but more of a Louisiana thing instead of a South Carolina thing.
