Successful Super Bowl Party!

Successful in more ways than one. First and fore most the Giants beat the Patriots, AMEN brother. Secondly, as usual; Jeff and Chery were perfect hosts for the party - I think it is safe to say that everyone who was able to make it had a good time and plenty of food. As you know we did a practice run for Memphis In May BBQ contest with a full case of Ribs. That went really well with a lot of compliments on our ribs. I learned a few things as far as the process goes and about the type of ribs that we will be using.

A huge thank you to those of you who pitched in and donated for the cost of the practice.
Jeff & Cheryl, Tim Melton, Bill Vaughn, Ed & Kat have pitched in so far (it's not too late). That means the team only lost about $100.00 on the practice.Our bank roll is all but depleted with the pre-paying of the Memphis In May contest. The only practical way of practicing will be to ask for donations and or have a surcharge from team members to compensate for the cost of practicing. It is safe to say that it costs us $200 to do a full case of ribs competition style. $100 in ribs, $36 in wood and the rest for ingredients, etc.

Another successful team event!
