You have skill. 9/10 1) What's with the binky? 2) Why no long gun? I'm gonna have to try that thing you did with the broccoli. Another "person" dining with me this evening suggested that but, I can't say who because it will cause an F5 calamity. Understood and respect.

-1 for yams -2 for the bitch drink -5 for the propane outdoor oven 2/10 Better luck next time. Gonna have to go with this. Sorry, OP, but this had so much potential. I've grilled a hundred tons of charcoal.....it's not better. My gas grill connected to a five hundred gallon underground tank is.

Boy I really screwed the pooch on presentation!! I have some nice long guns too. I was really just concentrating on the food hence the close up. I was also shooting with an iPhone since the "other person" left the cable to their D3200 in FL lol.
I should have also known that a ghey drink like that wouldn't go over in this "manly" crowd. It's pretty fresh and tasty actually. There is only 1/2oz. of schnapps in it...just enough to muddle the mint and give it that hint peach. I do usually drink a dirty martini on the rocks if that means anything to anyone geesh ha-ha! I did leave out a few things after having a few vodka and lemonades. The SP were baked on the grill....er I mean "propane oven" and then peeled and mashed with a fork with some butter, salt and pepper. They go well with pork and are much better for you. I save the whites for beef. Also, I brined the chops for a few hours with some star anise and black peppercorns. It was very good according to reviews. 
I'll do better next time I promise.
