Weekend Update
Here are some highlights from what was a very eventful weekend in and around the Delta House:
- I got a little crazy with the power washer again. I don't know what it is with that thing, but I get it going and I want to wash everything. This time it was the patio furniture and swing, then the inside of the gazebo. They all came out looking like they were new. Maybe one day I will actually use it on my car.
- My parents, sister and niece showed up on Saturday with a ton of food and drinks for the BBQ. We were expecting 35-40 people, but only around 25 made it. I'm actually quite happy about that because we have meatballs, sausage and peppers, and pasta salad to munch on all week.
- I cooked two pork butts and three dozen wings in the smoker this weekend, and they all came out great. One thing does make me curious, though. I seasoned both pork butts and put them on the grill at the same time in the same general part of the smoker. I basted them equally and cooked them exactly the same, but one came out a little tough. The other one fell apart as I was trying to pull it out. How is that possible?
- Big, big props go out to my boys Morgan and Alex for taking home some hardware at the Cape Cod Classic. I was unable to go this weekend, but the rest of the Big Boned Barbecue team kicked some ass. They took home a second place finish in beef brisket, and first place finishes in chicken and beef kabobs.
- My son is smart. I mean really, really smart. We have been trying to get him to crawl by giving him some belly time on a blanket on the floor, and placing his toys at the other end of the blanket. Well the little genius figured out quickly that he could pull the blanket with the toys on it to him and he would not need to crawl at all. I'm so proud that he figured out how to be lazy so early in life.
- And now for the gratuitous picture of the little man…

Thumbs up to the little man who has already figured out it is better to work smart than to work your bum off.
KJ - Sorry that I shot your wheels off.
Bill - I told you that the kid was smart.
mgc - I'll be sure to tell my wife that I am efficient next time she gets on me to cut the grass.
Greta - You live in MS and you frown at pork butt? Oh. My.
TG - Thanks, and the kid ain't bad either.

I too may have Robert's wings and Dino's subs one day. I'm moving to Fredericton, New Brunswick. I'll be much closer to Jersey then.
Of course, I may be sidetracked by the fish 'n' chips at Stayner's Wharf in Halifax.

flo, i got so excited about the awesome picture of the "little man" that i forgot to tell you that i love my power washer and i wash everything in site including whatever shoes i am wearing. it is the best thing made after duct tape and zip ties!
I am happy to hear you are raising a free-range child.
I'm serious.
Some people keep them enclosed in one contraption or another. You're going to have a little free-thinker on your hands instead of a brainless twerp.
So don't be surprised when he turns out a liberal. (Sorry... I didn't mean that. I couldn't help myself...)

as for crawling, no one in my family ever crawled. went straight to walking around. he's smart, he knows not to bother with the middle bullshit when you can go straight to the finish line?!
