Getting Hot

It's finally starting to get hot around Poverty Flats. Temperature has been in the 90's every day for the last couple of weeks. Going to get a lot hotter before the summer is over so guess we better not complain yet. There is plenty of outside work to be done around here but my will to do it weakens as the mercury rises. Anyone remember what life was like before air conditioning was in every home ? I do, but it gives me a headache to think back that far. Besides, I have a theory, I think as we get older we feel the temperature extremes more than when we are younger. Don't have any hard evidence , but it sure seems that way.

Well it's getting about time to start cooking BBQ for the next festival. We have an event coming up soon that will keep us stepping . This is an annual event in Joplin MO called the Emmancipation Days Celebration. This is a 3 day event that runs August 1-3. It is a large event that will see a very large attendance. After that, we will do a couple more in August then in Sept. we will be at festivals almostevery weekend thru the end of Oct. We are also waiting for word on a site we are hoping to get in Webb City MO on a regular weekly basis. This will keep us busy with BBQ year round. Well, there goes retirement !!
One quick update on the BBQ, we added BBQ beef to our menu along with the pulled pork and it is in high demand. At the last event, in Noel MO, we sold out of BBQ beef by the second day.
We also make our own BBQ sauce that is as good as it gets. We always offer our own sauce, along with KC Masterpiece to give folks a choice. We are using 2 bottles of our's to 1 of KC. Don't mean to brag, but it's just good !! One man, down at Noel, said " those folks at KC Masterpiece are going to have to go some to beat your's." We still don't have a name for our sauce yet. Maybe someone has some ideas ??

Well, I guess I have rambled on long enough. Think I will go and smell the flowers for awhile. Until next time, Via Con Dios DM Pitmaster Texas BBQ & Beans
