HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY

Today is that special day to celebrate the signing of the 'Declaration of Independence" and gaining our freedom from the 'Kingdom of Great Britain". It is a great excuse to fire up the grill. Do we really need an excuse? Yesterday at the 'Way Out West BBQ Championship' a barbeque rig was spotted that had the most wonderful accessory attachment ever. This optional tool is a golden pole. This pole is sure genius and should be a mandatory item on all barbeque rigs. I have asked Ms. Goofy for this rig for Christmas. She has told me that I will be able to leave the couch by Christmas.

The weather in Stockton was beautiful for this barbeque contest. We were privileged to sample and judge some championship meat. Harry Soo and the "Slap Yo Daddy' bbq team added another trophy, for Grand Champion, to their trophy case. There was a great band playing rock and roll to get the crowd dancing. We were steppin to the beat to view the old hot rods that were on display. The general public was able to purchase tickets to sample a lot of the competitors cooking endeavors. The crowds swelled with some content and full barbeque customers. This was one fun in the sun event.

Have a wonderful 4th of July. What are you cooking today?
