Title: I might Need A Place To Stay (for awhile)
Post by: classicrockgriller on December 21, 2010, 12:00:42 PM
Wifey, Daughter, Daughter-In-Law, and Son#2's Girl Friend all went to

New York last week and they will be back around 11:00 tonight.

Wifey told me to do two things while she was gone:

#1 Clean the Man Cave (not done)
#2 Straighten the back Deck (1/2 done)

But I did re-arrange her fridge for her while she was gone.

I threw out all the veggie's, yogurt, etc. (stuff I don't like) and

restock it with these:

28 lbs of Trail Bologna

(http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af165/classicrockgriller/MISC/Place%20To%20Stay/SDC11943.jpg)

(http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af165/classicrockgriller/MISC/Place%20To%20Stay/SDC11947.jpg)

20 lbs of smoked cheese

(http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af165/classicrockgriller/MISC/Place%20To%20Stay/SDC11944.jpg)

(http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af165/classicrockgriller/MISC/Place%20To%20Stay/SDC11945.jpg)

11lbs 4oz of fresh pork sausage

(http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af165/classicrockgriller/MISC/Place%20To%20Stay/SDC11942.jpg)

22lbs of belly in cure for Bacon

(http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af165/classicrockgriller/MISC/Place%20To%20Stay/SDC11946.jpg)

9lbs of snack sticks

(http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af165/classicrockgriller/MISC/Place%20To%20Stay/SDC11939.jpg)

10 lbs of snack sticks in the smoker.

(http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af165/classicrockgriller/MISC/Place%20To%20Stay/SDC11948.jpg)

Ahhhhh, she won't be MAD! ;D

Throw all the good stuff in a cooler and head back this way. I think Gus, Tommy and I could put you up at least until all the food is gone!

Or plan B: Finish the deck and go hide in the cave!   ;D

Sonny, I'm thinking that she will allow you to stay if you got rid of the bacon.

Since I would not want to see you living out on the street...

You have my address and if you need a place to keep.....


the bacon I will send you my UPS account number. ;D

Hokie Smokes what a load of meaty, cheesy goodness. I can't comment on if the meat treats will be enough to keep the wife at bay or not. So I think there is a 50/50 chance the smoking monkey might be getting it with the sugar bowl tonight.  ;D

STC gave me an idea, maybe wrap up a snack or two and when she gets home you can present her with it by the Christmas tree. Now who could spank their monkey after being so thoughtful?

I don't think you're doomed.  She will open the fridge and thinks P-I-Z-Z-A-S ! 

Hide the flour and the yeast. NOW!

But, just in case, have the coolers ready -- I'm am your closest hideaway and I can rearrange my two refrigerators and the freezer to make room.

Well, in the Bradley version of "A Christmas Story"........

"Wifey's gonna kill Sonny".  ;D ;D ;D

Guys I think the first step is we have to go down and quarantine the fridge, stand guard and continually take samples of the scene to until we can positively and collectively determine if this is a crime scene or not. This is not going to be any show up, getter done, and get out investigation, this has to be a "slow rolling" process. The investigation will be done when it's done. One person's tastes might identify an important clue to the investigation that anothers tastes might not have been able to identify, so with that said I think the more that show up the less stupider (and less hungry) we all will be.

Last one there goes hungry!!

You Guys are FUNNY! I love it.

And NOW the rest of the Story:

She had a connecting flight in Memphis, Tn and something happen to the plane.

They had to bring in a plane from Nashville and she finally got boarded at 10:30

and got home from Houston around 2 in the Morning.

I had two butts, two racks of Baby Backs, 2 pkg of Chicken Thigh Fajitas and two

double pkg of pork tenderloin in the other fridge and took that out. I moved as much

stuff as I could from main fridge to that fridge and put the fresh meat in the main fridge.

So all that was left was the 22 lbs of belly (curing), one crisper of smoked cheese and a

10lb package of snack sticks. After 3 times being ask "What's This?" and passing along my

explanations of what was going on in the fridge, She Bought it! ;D

The Man Cave: (That thing was a disaster) ...

Son and I ran to town and got something to eat. I ran inside Wally World and bought 6

LARGE plastic Boxes and locking lids and came home and threw a bunch of assorted stuff

in the boxes and stacked them in a corner. Moved some stuff around and swept and mopped.

Back deck was half done so I just moved some more stuff around and told her I was waiting for

her approval to finish. ;D

So all is good in Mudville. It was good to have her Home and can't wait till she leaves again.

Another case of smoked treats coming to the rescue. Of course if you hadn't spent the time smoking you could have done the other things you were supposed to and wouldn't need the treats to rescue you. But if you did the other things you wouldn't have had fun smoking. But if you had fun smoking then you would need the treats to bail you out. Hmmmm - this is getting complicated, kinda like that chicken and the egg thing. I think it is just best that I go open some adult beverages and contemplate this.  "No, honey I can't come help you I am trying to solve one of life's profound mysteries --sip, sip,sip."

Well, you offered (admittedly under duress).  I guess it was either that or more sacrafices to pizzas, eh?

At least she hasn't tossed you out (yet).   ;)

So, was the grief worth the fun you had making it ?

I'm a thinking that maybe we all need to band together and form a Smokin Attorney Defense reciprocal fund.  We can call it SAD.  The fund could pay for relocation for fellow smoker that get in trouble with the wife or perhaps help pay for extra freezer space when we smoke to many pounds of meat to fit in our freezers.  So many things that we could cover under the SAD umbrella. 

Something to ponder.  I think I am with Gus on this and need to go get a drink to think this through.

Personally, I think Sonny did an incredible job of thinking on his feet under extreme circumstances. Sonny, you said it was surprise gifts for Wifey's family, you just didn't say how much of it was surprise gifts.  Give 'em a trail bologna, a pack of cheese and a pack of sticks.  You'll still have a frig full plus it will give you a good excuse to replenish the gift stock.

More importantly, you won't have a big knot on your head and sleeping out in that big smoker you built! :D
