Frivolities At The Levers

There's nothing quite as relaxing as having a good little bit of bbq and having a few close friends over. As is always the case at one of our parties, the adult beverages seemed to be in over abundant supply. Last night, we ran the gauntlet - starting with yuengling and a few code blues, moving on to margi's provided by Carrie & Craig, and finishing off the night with a little scotch.

The night was not without it's bumps, as the bbq didn't spend quite enough time in the smoker or oven. I was disappointed as I had to rush through cooking it, as I got started a little bit later than I had wanted to. There's one rule to follow when it comes to great Carolina-Q - "Low & Slow". It was good, but it wasn't the 'fall off the bone, melt in your mouth' bbq I'm known for. The homemade mac n' cheese that the Barrs brought was delicious, and C&C provided some great appetizers. All was going well until boxee refused to cooperate on a few occasions. It only seemed to get worse when the warmin tried to fix the issue. Of course her wrath was directed at me (for whatever reason...I can't say!), and I was tackled for no apparent reason! So, the only movie we watched all the way through was the cult classic "Red Dawn" (one of the best movies of all time!). "The Office" wasn't streaming right, "Clash of the Titans" only made it half way through before it stopped working, and "Inglorious Bastards" was taking forever to transfer to the movie server. About that time was when the warmin tackled me (again, for NO good reason!). By the time we had "Inglorious Bastards" streaming up on the big screen, it was time for everyone to head home at around 11:30. A good time was had by all, and as always, it seems like whenever we get all our good friends together, hilarity ensues.

Perhaps one of the highlights of the night was I hear Barr lapping his whiskey and water. Hey...wait a second! That's not Barr! That's Hoser getting in on the fun. Needless to say, she enjoyed her first taste of whiskey, and pestered him for another drink for the rest of the night!













Here's a picture after Hoser learned her lesson on alcohol after waking up with quite the hangover the next morning!
