Hope all went well today bud!!

All went well - some pics are forthcoming when I get some time to download the few I took - but mainly need to get the pics that a buddy did - I didn't have time!  I came home and put the food away and laid down for nap and didn't wake up for 14 hours.  This boy was pooped!

Hits or at least got the most talk!

Chocolate Cobbler - this was eaten before I started serving everything else.  This is simple and killer! I can't recommend this enough!  I can't imagine how good this would taste with some vanilla ice cream and pecans and maybe some caramel sauce - I might just faint!  So many thanks to ronbeaux for posting this.  I was skeptical, but should not have been.  Had never heard of it before!
CT Cashews
Breakfast muffins -they were renamed them JWM's - John Wayne Muffins.
NL Lasagne - this is a new idea and will be great when tweaked.
Brisket
Shrimp with bourbon teriyaki glaze
Smoked Catfish Dip
ABT's stuffed with chorizo/cream cheese mixture, wrapped in bacon. 
Breakfast fatties
ABT's with goat cheese
BoBo steak.
Hot buffalo Wings. 
Figgy Fatties
Boudin
Sausage

Not getting any talk
Meatloaf
Pulled Pork - even though I thought it was quite good
Beans - and I thought they were killer - more for me
Wings with teryaki/pineapple/coconut
Italian sausage links
shrimp and pepper jack wrapped with bacon
Choirizo dip
Goat cheese fatty

Didn't get to do - forgot

Pastrami - I didn't serve - it didn't get done in time.
Bacon with rub and brown sugar - I just forgot about this one
Bacon/white cheese dip - didn't need 3 dips - didn't know I was going to have some of the chorizo/cream cheese mixture leftover, so just made a dip outta that.

No Sonny's Cilantro Potato Salad?
(woulda made da TALK GROUP)

Yup, that was sad.  However, one couple wanted to bring some fudge pies, one couple wanted to bring some chicken and dumplings, and one guy wanted to bring some red potato salad.  So as I was going to have some.... uhmm.... time management problems on Friday night and no time to make it on Sat. I said - bring'em on!  The funny thing is that the lady who made the chicken and dumplings (which were fantastic BTW) must be an organizer extraordinaire' .  I turned to the smoker to fuel and mop and I turn around and she had all my spices lined up in a neat row, all the canned goods organized, the pots and pans stacked, and the knives and tools in  a neat row - I must say Caney has never been more organized - at least for a couple of minutes!

This is what we were celebrating on Saturday.  His ashes had been shipped to Montana to be released in a river he really loved and would talk about frequently.

This pics are coming in slowly - literally - my buddy has dial-up.



Some CT cashews that were inhaled.



What was left of the wings.  These were the Polynesian Baby Pins - the open space in the pan was where the Smoked Buffalo Drummettes were.

More pics to come ------ eventually

Beautiful job Caney, I look forward to the rest of the pic's.

Two Five more shots - they are really coming slowly - I gave him a thumb drive - maybe he'll use thatl

JWM (John Wayne Muffins) and some sausage bathing in all that smoke


Some of the Friendly Vultures waiting!  And by the shadows, relatively early in the morning - they were eating the JWM, the nuts, and the chocolate cobbler.  Yep - Caney at the smoker!  The young man to the far left in the top photo is Japanese and is 15 now.  He is now a very talented fly tyer.   He started fly tying at 12 when they came to Nashville because of father taking a job here.  You know that little oriental guy who has the record for hot dog eating - well I think this guy is his cousin.  He can put away the barbecue! 



Fatties


Brisket getting sliced.
