After reading my previous post, I realized I didn't say alot about our team- the other two guys who did their share of work, and more... Missing Mike, or Skippy has cooked with me now for about 10 yrs. The Missing Mike label has been earned over the years by his habit of disappearing during the cook-off, to go bar hopping! He is older now, with 3 children and a wife that is on to him!That is a picture of his beautiful family! He's a smart guy, and with us cooking together for awhile- we know who does what- and when... The other cook was a Newby- 1st cook off ever! It was my son Craig! He was alot of help, with the shopping, lugging, tending the coals, etc. Just like where you work, the new guy usually gets the grunt work... He did that without complaint, and was learning about our tricks all the time! Next year, he wants his own category- and I bet he'll do fine. Teamwork. The older I get, the more I realize we all need to work as a team. Like Yogi Berra once said; "None of us is as good as all of us"...

Isn't it amazing how successful a team can be when everyone gets credit? What I really want to know is why those kids are eating pizza and not BB-Q?!
That family *is* beautiful.
DogB- Don't think we don't!
dana- Picture was Friday night, before the meat categories are done on Sat.! They ate plenty the next day!
UrbanV- "Ginger kids", just like you! They are really good kids, too! I call the eldest Pippi Longstocking!
The team is the most important thing.
Cute family. We are most surely a team here.

Hey UncleBuff :)
How cool! Glad you didn't get skunked too. ;) And did I mention I don't enjoy cooking, but I never mind doing the clean up? You should hire me for clean up crew next year! :D

I've been a bit busy too, cooking & baking home made goodies to pack up for my son , who leaves for the university on the 6th of August! So it has been quite a hustle bustle spell!
