Graduation BBQ/Cookout
« Reply #-1 on: May 31, 2013, 01:45:21 PM »
My daughter not only turned 18 this past week, she graduated from high school last Friday evening. How scary is that?


The Grad party (tomorrow) is actually a combined graduation party for her and one of the guys on the H.S. band Drumline, so between the two families & friends we're expecting easily 125 - 150 people throughout the day.

We decided to do an all day BBQ/cookout at a local park and are catering it ourselves to save mega bucks.

The protein menu will include:

  • Smoky Lemon-lime Wings
  • Pulled Pork
  • A Picnic Ham
  • Smoked Sausages
  • Fresh Italian & Bratwurst sausages
  • Beef Kosher-Style Hot Dogs

Needless to say... the meats will all be homemade.


10 lb. Picnic ham...


...15 lbs Kosher-style Beef Franks & 10 lbs Bratwursts...    DONE!



We're working on the rest of the sausages today.

More pics to come...

I got nothing like that when they let me out of high school.  The only thing I got was people standing back, looking at me and shaking their heads. I seem to remember over hearing some teachers whipering something about a "he's gone" party...don't rightly know what they meant by that. ??? Dee

dee - It might have had something to do with the fact that you took 13 consecutive (that means "in a row") years to finish high school.

Four of the best years of my life was tenth grade.

Tent, congratulations to your daughter and to you for throwing such a great party to honor her. That is a lot of meat and I know it will be a great celebration.
