included in the app crew is my buddy Pat ( whose backyard features prominently in those previous large cookup postings ) also brings me the first of several loads of planked wood destined to end up as Weber handles.................
1:00 PM.....Begin 'Turd Assembly.....also set down 2nd load of choinks & make the 1st slosh on the large wet ribs.....lite more coals.........
1:20 PM......Begin assembly of blueberry backribs.....
These ones become a sore subject later.....last time I'll ever do somewhat thinner ones upside down in foil like this.....cooked a little too high of heat & they fell apart....not terribly, just enough to render them unsuitable for picking up w/o a fork......
( at this point, the wife informs me she had a "little mishap" while I was gone ( prior to 1:00 PM ).."I started up the blender to smooth out the blueberry sauce & the gasket on the bottom came undone.....blueberry sauce all over one side of the kitchen.....glad I missed it !!!!!)
1:30.....Back to 'Turd assembly......
1:40 PM......Backribs down.....assembly of cranberry / fig ribs get those on too.....
