Weekend Report

"OH Baby"

It was beautiful yesterday.

73 degrees ( Woo hoo !!! ) just a tad windy - but oh so nice.

The girls came up and Julie got out the kite to fly for Robyn.

We stayed out on the deck and enjoyed the sunshine - grilled some burgers - with home made potato salad and baked beans.

Perfect day... ( about time )

Today seems to be starting off nice too! Just a tad bit cool right now.
But maybe this afternoon will be warm as well.


Here are two BBQ Sauce recipes that you may want to try sometime.
The ingredients are kind of the same - you be the judge.

Sauce #1 House BBQ sauce ( instructions will be at the bottom )

1/2 cup A-1 sauce
2 cups Ketchup
1/2 cup Brown sugar ( see note: )
1 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup Honey
1 tsp. minced garlic or 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. Lemon juice

For Texas style add 2 Tbs. Chili powder

Note: If it were me I would cut this back some, because with the added honey, this is going to be a very sweet sauce. Even with the Chili powder. That's just my 2 cents


Sauce # 2 All- American Barbecue Sauce

1 cup cider vinegar
3/4 cup chili sauce
2 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbs. A-1 sauce
3 Tbs. brown sugar
1 onion - finely minced
1 tsp. Chili powder
1 tsps. Tabasco sauce ( or to taste )

Combine all ingredients in a non - aluminum sauce pan. ( glass )
Simmer gently for 35 mins. partially covered.
Stir occasionally.

Makes about 1 1/4 cup.
Use with beef, pork, or chicken.


As you can see they are close to the same - but different.

Everybody has a BBQ sauce recipe, some are close to one another, only different in a few ingredients, some are very different in ingredients, and some are just copy cats of a good recipe with something else thrown in to hide that fact.

That's why I use what I use. Simple and easy.

Now I would try these - they don't look bad at all - but I would be more inclined to use # 2.

You be the judge.
