Beercation 2024

[Phil Perrin]

We celebrated mom’s 90th last month during our annual traveling family reunion that we call Beercation. Lots of good food was consumed along with plenty of adult libations!

My oldest sister got here on mom’s birthday to officially kick things off. We had grilled chicken and cauliflower tomato fritters. Very tasty! I’d brought my griddle home from the camper to do some maintenance on it and it did great!

The next day we had some chicken quesadillas with homemade sourdough tortillas! Once again, the griddle makes short work of this!
The next day we had a pork loin roulade filled with spinach and cheese. Pammi made a tomato pie to go with it

Pammi made a delicious breakfast the next morning. Bacon, sausage, tomato/potato pie and blueberry scones!! Soooogood!
We usually do a big cookout with pulled pork, beans and my kitchen sink macaroni salad on the last night(Friday) of beercation, but we had tattoos scheduled. So a rare Thursday pulled pork!

Smoked for about 18 hours with a simple homemade rub, it turned out great as always!

The next day was family tattoo day. We’ve decided that the guy here in Charlotte is our favorite tattoo artist, so he gets most of our business. None for mom, her doctor said no!
But here’s what the rest of us got
Pammi


My sister Jennie

My sister Lisa

My brother Ted

My niece Melani

Her daughter Mattaia
Her boyfriend Travis

And last, but not least, mine. I already had the DD214 tattoo and he added the sergeant stripes

We had BBQ chicken, corn and another tomato pie! Yum!!!
Once again, thanks for looking!

She said that she sliced and roasted some tomatoes. We got some yummy heirloom tomatoes from the farmers market. She then layered them with cheese in a par cooked pie shell
It can be served warm or room temperature
