It's been a lot a' years since I could put away the amount of food you described. Not sure what we're doing, but BBQ sockeye sounds good. A friend just got back from AK with a bunch, and he gave me some. We had it a few nights ago, but having it again tomorrow sounds appealing. No pie here, but oh, man! Sure would love some! And a couple neighbors are dependable for keeping us awake well past midnight with their fireworks.

War-Paint...when should I arrive and what type of Boone's Farm can I bring?

Going easy this year. I'm just having a buddy and his kid over for some simple grilling and lighting stuff on fire.

Brats, tater salad, chips, homemade pickle, onion & tomato salad etc.
Pretty basic this year.

The main goal of the evening will be keeping the lab from peeling the paint off my ceilings. I live in the Beruit of Snohomish county, so it's always a chitshow around here until about 2 - 3 am.

Sounds like we are doin up
Tri Tip
Skirt Steak
Striped bass fillets
Fresh Squash
Salad
Garlic Bread
you know, ghetto food.

As a one time Central Coaster, I get the Tri Tip. But then Skirt Steak screams asada. Tacos and Santa Maria tri tip? Do tell.

Oh, on my menu is smoked baby backs.

Freedom.

Fuuck Inslee and his sheep.

Fresh caught chinook, brats, and a schit load of beer.

Cool story bro.
How bout just one thread of non edgy wanna be look at me political posts? I don’t give a fuk about any of that and honestly didn’t ask.
Can we just have one thread? Okthanx

Annnnyyyyyy wase
I make the apple pie 100% homemade crust and all
Old school recipe and that is always the hardest yet most fulfilling part of making it. The filling was way easier to figure out. I built my style off a recipe that my great grandma used and went from there. Never a piece left and no bull shcit wip cream needed to cover up a schitty dry crust.

I don't blame you for being angry and I'm sorry the world's current problems have had a significant impact on you and your family.
Like most of the content here, I'm sick of the bullchit also.
Eat well and enjoy your 4th.

Man enough to say if I came across cross I didn’t mean it and not trying to single you out just trying to Mercia
Thanks and don’t worry bout it

But do me a favor and stfu sometimes lol

It’s nice to not have every thread get schit on from every angle. I plan on spending the morning with the family, going to some shin-digs then getting out on the water for the afternoon/evening bite. Fishing was great today and we boated a 16# and a 17# so we plan on spending the afternoon/evening going after fish then staying on the water for fireworks.

Hope everyone has a great 4th and uses the time with friends and family and to reflect a bit on what has built this country to be as great as it is, and what we can do now amid the chaos and make it an even better place for ALL.

Angry Paint,
I just wolfed down 9 jumbo scampi sauteed in butter and garlic.
Currently I don't have time for your chit..........
I need to go take my own.

Tomorrow?
Just found out my buddy(4th host) has a positive test.
Starting today he's living in the toy hauler in his driveway while his wife and kids remain in the house.
Fuuck food.
Pass the whiskey.

Hells no we are bbqing that skirt steak! Just wat it up. There are a couple places south of Santa Cruz,the Freedom Meat Locker and Corralitos Meat Market that have killer sausage and skirt steak and marinated meats. The meat locker mesquite marinaded skirts are so damn good over hot coals I would put them up against anyone's cooking. SO GOOD! My buddy gave me a couple fat zucchinis to throw on the grill.

Headed to my buddies for the 3rd year now. He has a tradition of a large seafood boil..he's toning it down this year though and only doing 20#'s of king crab in the boil! Last year was 35#'s~ (saved him 5#'s for Labor Day). Chiat load of corn, spuds, sausage, onions, gulf shrimp, etc, plus the king,..well you know the drill

Will be fun.

Happy Independence Day!

Bat wings and Corona Light!

Seriously Angus burgers and hot dogs. Spaghetti salad, potato salad. No fresh caught steelhead or salmon. Fireworks. No streaming Mt Rushmore.

Didn’t know we had a bunch of Michelin starred chefs here lol.
