Making a party of it. Friends coming over to enjoy the pool, music, drink, and some smoked meat. Going in the WSM, spare ribs, boston butt, and some whole chickens.

Made some Kababs last weekend and finally got around to getting pictures up. Surf/Turf and Dessert Makers Mark marinated steak and shrimp with chorizo. Ready for the grill Now were cooking. Added some corn. The wife loves Mexican street corn. Strawberry and pound cake for dessert.
