In honor of Aaron’s Birthday and the unofficial last day of Summer and my return to work after 8 weeks off, we decided to have a few folks over for some food and some yard games.
Elsa and I had our work cut out for us. First thing’s first. Cupcakes for Rip. We were low on supplies so we had to do some improvising. I only had enough butter to make the cupcakes. I got on the interweb and looked myself up a vegan frosting recipe. It was no butter cream, but it did the trick. Tasty and sweet! Just like frosting should be.
Mmmmm…… cupcakes…….
Mmmmm…… frosted cupcakes…….
Ok. Cupcakes down. Next, get those chickens on the grill. My Dad grows chickens out at his place. He raises ’em and feeds ’em and ultimately slaughters ’em. It’s a given that a couple end up in our freezer. We decided to go the ol’ beer can in the bum route when grilling these beauties up.
I can’t take much credit for the preparation and grilling of these birds. The most I did was make sure these girls were thawed out and made sure there was no cross contamination. Working for six years at a Kentucky Fried Chicken has made me an expert in poultry handling. I guess you could say I do chicken right. I guess you could say that.
Along with chicken husbandry, my Dad grows some wicked awesome veggies in his garden. I sliced those puppies up and threw ’em in some spinach and our meal was complete. Our Friends brought things to share and we really did have an awesome afternoon grillin’ and chillin’!
Another Birthday down. Another Summer under our belts. Adios, Summer. We will miss you!
haha. just look at all those dogs.
