Goodness! Log out for a few hours and come back to all sorts of mischief afoot!
First things first and why this thread is here;
Yay!!
How awesome for you! I imagine if you told us the venue some clothing options would be suggested...folks here don't seem to be suffering from the "shy" gene.
Thank you so much for asking for clarification! It's nice to see someone pay attention to details. I'll also add detailed oriented people make
darn good lovers events run smoothly.
So I take it there are two events being discussed? The Cook Off and a Crush Tasting party? I'm confused but for the record this girl promised to offer up steaks and brisket *only* (or at least until I see who is on the Crush Tasting list....)
In reading some of these posts it seems we have several potential cooks (JAGG, Kent, lilapache, SweetBliss...others???). TN. might be doable, Memphis looks to be half-way between Atlanta and Tulsa (probs. why the BFP reunion is in Little Rock.) So maybe somewhere in TN.? The location doesn't fuss me but unlike Mr."Have Tongs will Travel" (<--or was that thongs JAGG?) I prefer to drive to the location as I will be bringing my own fuel/wood chips (no propane for this girl) and my own meat. <---Ok, that sounded very unladylike but I am not about to rely on some rinky-dink supermarket cut of meat. I know one of the last true independent butcher's markets in Ga. and the owner will order and cut to my specs.
The only fly at this cook-off for me is timing. I am one over-scheduled works-full-time-single-mom-scout leader-chick. Perhaps if we could pin down a location then the schedules will fall into place? If we are going to do this then I would like to maximize the number of folks who can attend
and watch JAGG pet a cat.. Later in the fall when it is cooler and doesn't but up next to the BFP Reunion might work?
I think it would be awesome if our favorite folks from across the pond could come too! Where are they anyway??? Also, where is Firegal? I owe that one a basket of non-canned, eat over the sink peaches.....
