Nut House Cook and recipe thread

Hosting about 20 people Thursday for the 4th.  Smoking a 9 lb boston butt and grilling plenty of bahamma mammas from Schmidt's, burgers, and hot dogs.  Making my spicy sausage queso dip as an app.  Then doing a big pot of green beans & potatoes, macoroni salad, potato salad, baked beans, cheesy potatoes, and 7 layer salad.  My wife's birthday is the 3rd, so getting a big ice cream cake from DQ and she is also making brownies.

Going to make some sort of punch to drink, or even sangria.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm going to be sweet.

Caveat. I should have been more engaged. 

He was making some burgers and wanted wanted bacon cheeseburger.  So, he had some foil on part of the grill and put some slices on it to cook. They did....problem was the grease spilled over the foil and got the flames really going. Like 4 feet high flames ......lost the bacon totally....lost 4 burgers. Carbonized.

I would definitely eat that if...  the shrimp was removed (I'm just a seafood hater).  Other than that, looks delicious.     For me I would probably add some sort of meat.  Maybe some spiced up chicken of some sort

Chicken is a good substitute.

smoking some prime beef short ribs I got from Creek Stone Farms. Smoking at 275* for 5 1/2 hours, rubbed them down with paprika, turbinado sugar, kosher salt, pepper, chili powder, honey powder, onion powder.

These short ribs are similar to beef ribs except the bones are smaller but these is more meat on them. Each one is about 8" long and 2" thick.

That's some of the best sauce out there. Not too sweet, great flavor.
