Kettle Club Meetup - June Edition

[HankB]

According to the weather man there's a mesoscale spinning vortex heading our way.  Hopefully it will move on by noon.

[Jeff]

Hank...stop scaring people with big words!!     I think we're gonna get lucky today. 

[MartyG]

No doubt. And besides, it's a great day for photos. Bright sun is no good for that. Pies are going in the oven as we speak...

[Ted B]

Jeff I'm bringing bacon wrapped jalapeño shrimp. Hopefully no one has a shellfish/seafood allergy.

Probably grab some thing else to bring too. Inspiration will hit at the grocery store I'm sure.

[Jeff]

Ted...great idea, sounds good!

[Jeff]

getting some showers pushing into the area now...back end of the rain is at the Iowa/Illinois border and moving straight west, should be pushed through here by 11ish.

[MartyG]

The pie could use ice cream. (Stay tuned for pics) Anyone in a position to pick up some vanilla?

[Jeff]

consider it done

I'll be bringing a gallon of vanilla. And I have plastic spoons but no bowls.

Should I get bowls? I'm sopping at the store to pick up stuff for the cobblers. Anything else I could pick up or bring?

[Jeff]

ok then...thanks Hank

[Duke]

I like cobbler.

[Craig]

I love cobbler....     I'm not crying...... damned fake onions anyway...

I need to get a dutch oven again and reactivate my camp cooking skills...

[Jeff]

WEATHER FOR TODAY.  Light spotty rain is falling in the Chicago area now, but looks like it will clear out mid morning.  May be a bit overcast, but I think mid morning thru afternoon will be dry.  There is a chance of rain or storms tonight...so we'll go as long as the weather holds out!!!  I think we are gonna get lucky and have a dry day!


Hank is bringing some pulled pork, and a side and a dessert. He plans to smoke some hard boiled eggs and make deviled eggs with them. He'll also bring a cobbler or two for something sweet. (http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/grilled-dessert-recipes/peach-cobbler/)
