Title: the only way to fly..
Post by: squirtthecat on December 23, 2009, 06:18:10 PM

Smoked BBQ To Go!

Bradley smoked turkey and chuck roast, frozen solid in vacuum bags and stuffed in pretty pink Susan Komen cooler. (hey, it was the only one that would fit in my suitcase..)

(http://lh3.ggpht.com/_CbvAIVzmFFM/SzK4cP6QO4I/AAAAAAABB0I/2u2eH2-TSrM/s640/photo.jpeg)

And a bottle of St Louis style Bandana's Sauce to go with..

This will be our Christmas Dinner tomorrow night (actually, quite a few dinners) in Williamsburg, VA.

I hope the airport doesn't turn the drug dogs loose on my luggage, or we'll have a serious problem...    :D

Nice - but if that is a carry-on the liquid police might not like the sauce.

No, that is my big checked bag. 

Liquid police...   Imagine what the X-Ray people would think!  (step over here, sir...)

I'm sure that bag will get a second and third look on its way through the machine.

You should have packed samples for the  TSA security staff.

Your gonna piss off the dogs for sure! You'll end up paying for a new leash from the handlers trying to hold them back. ;D

Who knows, they might help themselves if the pull my bag for a hand inspection...
I can see ABTs being deemed WMDs and confiscated.  :D


Ron, I hope the seals hold on those bags, or I'm gonna be doing a LOT of laundry first thing tomorrow after we check in!

I was just kiddin'...
If MrC thinks he can do this - he can.

Trust me.  His innocent looks have brung me all sorts of liquids from every corner of earth.
I have a display shelf to prove it.

Awrighten.

Don't worry, I'm doing this one by the books.  All in my checked bag.

I'm counting on the cooler climate down in the cargo hold to let my turkey/beef thaw ever so slowly...   Should be ready for dinner! (might have to juice it a bit in the microwave)

Ahh, the good old days - when you could carry that stuff on the plane.    (and they didn't zing you for massive 'overweight' baggage charges)


Now we have to stick with simple glassware.

Squirt, Leave Hal a blank check incase he has to come bail you out.

Can see the headlines "The notorious MrC aka squirtthecat was captured at the Airpot today
trying to smuggle a smoked Turkey & Chuck Roast on board an airline. It was heavy laden with CT.

I just wedged a (previously opened) jar of horseradish 'beer and brat' mustard into that cooler...   That'll confuse the dogs even more.   :D

You could have put a couple of sausages in your pockets and worn a kielbasa belt ... Whoops, sorry.  Wrong move.  ;D ;D

They're kinda tough in the washer.  But, out of the dryer, not bad.  :o

STC,
Throw a couple of those dryer sheets in your bag.  That always throws the dogs off scent....uh, or sold I've been told.

Can't believe that none of you busted STC over the BMW sweatshirt in the bag. :D

Have a safe trip STC.  Who knows, you may have something a little special when you come back home. ;)

Thanks!   Will report from the road...  (won't be smoking anything, just reheating - and scoping out local 'Colonial' fare)


No CRG, no puppies.   Pellets, perhaps, but positively no puppies.

(Larry, feel free to post some 'relocating day' pics if you like  ;))

We have to head to the airport stupid early and hope the planes take off.

Cheers,
Pat.

KY - I just noticed the shirt since you mentioned it...

I just want you to know - that boy has TWO Bimmers.
And he used to drive them over to my house.

Now that we bought a house in a much better "hood"...
He drives this danged old rusty HOOPTY over - with mufflers dragging the ground....
(and leaves his Bimmers at home).

I'm gonna smack him one of these days...

That is so funny. We have a guy at work at the quarry that I nicknamed "sausage pockets" cause he always has food in his pockets. I said to him one day would you quit eating cause your making me hungry, you got any sausage in your pockets and of course I can't repeat the rest of the conversation, but he then became known as "sausage pockets"

You couldn't pay me to own one of them again. They don't hold up to a good running. I blew up two of them when I was stationed in Germany. Now My Mercedes She was a runner. Lost her during the practice marriage.

Hal was going to buy me a pizza hut delivery car sign to put on my Hoopty.

Wait until his neighbors see what is going to be strapped on the back of it...   :o

Well, they didn't pounce on me nor did I hear any alarms, so I think my BBQ will make it out of St Louis safely!

The bag was only 39 pounds.   I should have stuffed another brisket in it.   :D

It's not security you have to worry about, it'll be the angry mob stuffed in that long tube smelling the food and not being able to order it from the flight attendant.

Next time, I should bag it in small bunches and sell pulled pork up and down the aisle.   That would make a small dent in next Christmas' trip to Ka Honu-land.  ;)

Cigars, Cigarettes, Pulled Pork   ;D

Not a visual I needed early on Christmas Eve (or any other time, for that matter).  It's gonna take a lot of Scotch to wash that one away.

Well, the TSA guys kept their mitts/dogs off of my BBQ, so time to heat some for a late Christmas Eve dinner..

Gonna be smoked turkey & pulled chuck sandwiches.

(whenever the girls get back from Christmas church services - I've had my share of mobs of people today, so I'm going early in the morning)

Did I mention I went to 3 grocery stores today?   :o

Well, I thought about nabbing a cured Virginia (country) Ham and bringing that back...
Everybody has them on sale today.

But, in light of recent events (NWA flight to Detroit), I won't push my luck with the TSA guys.
