Thanks, bud! Nobody bitched, that's for sure, haha! I'm not on Facebook, but apparently there was quite a lot of talk in my town last night about my house, lol. I was told that people posting stuff like: "Hey, everybody! That dude on 'XXXXX Street' is serving pork and beer again this year! He even stepped up his game and smoked a brisket too! DO NOT SKIP THIS HOUSE!!!"Rajun Gardener said:You Rocking it!!! Who's gonna bitch about that food?
I need neighbors like me tooRajun Gardener said:I need neighbors like you.

Hell no. You're gonna have to throw me out of this place, kicking and screamingThe Hot Pepper said:Did Mike quit?
Thanks man!Chorizo857_62J said:That (and You) are Awesome!
Thanks dude! Yeah, we had a lot of fun! Less people this year than last year. Last year we had (no exaggeration) probably 400+ kids! This year, I added the brisket and chili to the menu. Kept the cornbread again, but didn't make the bacon wrapped stuffed jalapeños this year. No way I'm doing all that prep work for that many people I don't even know, hahaha. This year was the first year that one of my neighbors actually offered to throw me some cash, but I'd feel weird taking it. I don't mind though; I love doing thisPtMD989 said:Holy Cow, thats one hell of a spread[emoji16]. Food looks great also! Do any of your neighbors help you out?

Where's Ashen?! Dead serious, man, I was seriously thinking about you as I carved this brisket. I remembered your compliments on one of my previous ones, so I made it a point to try to improve.....

Thanks for watching, pepper people
Here's the one I have. 12" Victorinox. It's the only "real" knife that I have, and I absolutely love it (I wanna get more). I just had it sharpened at the butcher a few weeks ago. After the guy sharpened it, held up a big sheet of butcher paper between his thumb and index finger, then sliced it CLEAN in half with one stroke Looked like a samurai, hahahaAshen said:I specifically requested a slicer like that for Xmas from my wife.
Not at first, but by the end of the night, I guess you could say I was dressed as a "Drunken, Wannabe BBQ Pitmaster"PtMD989 said:So did you dress up for Halloween?
Rajun Gardener said:I don't ever buy loin because it's so dry when over cooked but it looks like you nailed it perfectly. Yeah, I'd eat that!!!
