What do you get when you mix a bunch of Filipinos, Palestinians, and a couple token honkies? No, not a TSA nightmare….Our family reunion! Every year we get together for a weekend and, no matter when it is, we always seem to be celebrating a half dozen birthdays. It’s weird – there haven’t been any weddings or babies, but our extended family keeps on multiplying. Oh wait, that didn’t come out right. Because if we did multiply, then THAT would be weird. And gross. And Appalachian.
This year’s celebration was on Labor Day weekend, again in Indianapolis. There was the usual round of golf, eating, beerponging, storytelling, eating, legobuilding, musicplaying, late night barbecuing, and – of course – a ton of eating.
We got there a little late Friday night so we missed the main dinner. But there was the 1AM dinner of sliders, sriracha, and tequila.
Saturday night dinner included…
Ribs, my barbecue
And now for dessert…
On to the festivities…
This 5 lb bag of Kalbi wanted in on the action. Little did it know that it would meet its fate in a couple hours.
The odds were never in our favor. My partner and I lost miserably.
We pretty much ate them as they came off the grill. We also went through four slabs of leftover ribs, the rest of my barbecue, and a tub of hummus. There were 10 of us.
Note to self – No more late night experiments with trying to find the next awesome drinking fad. The hipsters will TOTALLY NOT be doing Sriracha then Tequila then shortrib.
Ah yes, another family weekend = another 5 lbs gained. We wouldn’t want it any other way.
wish I had been there
That sounds like an awesome party! And now I know what to do with my husbands HUGE collection of Legos!
Might have to have a galbi throwdown–no Biebs allowed, though….
I just had dinner but you made me hungry again! 🙂 Ok, sliders and Costco Tequila, here We come!
Haha! We have a new Costco here in Ann Arbor, but they don’t have it. That bottle was from Chicago. Hope they get it soon and it’s not a Michigan thing. Because I’m willing to drive to another Costco just for that
