Same here. I was just sitting here casually glancing through all of the pics, and I suddenly found myself drooling unexpectedly, lol! This is a true story!!!

We need to do something like that around here.

It looks like you guys are having a great time, and thank you for sharing the pics with us!

Hey guys and girls out there in smokey smokey land. I just returned home from the gathering. You should have made it cause it was really fun and the food was off the chain good. The craw fish were awesome and cooked by Big Al and his wife liz. Then the cinnamon rolls by sandy Shooter Ricks wife. between those two we all have gained alot of pounds BUT it was sooooooo good. The meat was prepared by all and Tim (BamaFan) was really smoking his heart out. Believe me everything tasted better then you could imagine and there was enough food for half of this site too. But with all that said I want to throw out a great big

THANK YOU

The Jerry and Karen for their fine hospatality they showed us all and it was great and I cann't wait to start making plans for the next one. This gathering was something I think should be held all over this great country and site for it is something special. Thanks to all my new friends and fellow smokers. Enjoyed every moment of it too. See Ya Soon

Jerry thank you and Karen for your hosptality! I had a great time and met a lot of great people. It was a great event to break in the Bubba.The food was outstanding. The ABT's were so good I'm making a batch right now. Then i'll be time for a diet!!!!!!!!!! I'm looking forward to the next one and hopefully seeing you soon.

Mark, and Tim - glad to see both of ya's made it home safely.

The 4th annual N. FL gathering has come to a tasty completion with some biscuits and homemade sausage gravy (made by Brian) to send everyone off (in addition to eggs and bacon that Karen cooked up).

As Mark mentioned earlier, these gatherings are such a great way to meet the fine people from SMF, and their friends and families. Jerry and his wife have been gracious enough to host these every year, so if you have a chance, you'll want to attend the next one. It was a great feeling to see a mix of people from the past 3 gatherings, and a couple new faces, convene together this past weekend.

In addition to the faces that were there, we had a "virtual" special guest: DanMcG. Dan contributed some $ for our feast. It was spread amongst the alcohol, and all the grub.

Thank you so much, Dan!

Im thinking of planning something near Tahoe maybe. Ill post if we do it.


Sounds like Jerry and Karen threw another great bash.

 

[eman]

We really had a great time at Jerry and karens home away from home.
We were glad to finally be able to put some names w/ the faces.
There was enough food cooked to feed half of south Fla.
Anyone who went home hungry ,It was your own fault.
Thanks all who contributed and all who attended.
Hope to be able to do it again soon.
1000.1 miles from my driveway back to my driveway.
Jerry and Karen, Thank's for throwing this shindig and for all your hospitality.
Bob & Sherrie

 

[pineywoods]

Well it was fun again and we want to thank everybody that attended. Its great to see old friends and make new ones. The food was good but the people were better and we hope everyone comes back to see us.

 

[shooterrick]

Well Sandy and I made it home avoiding a major accident in Biloxi. It was a great time and great friends old and new. A big thanks to Mark for building Gunnys ash pan for me and Bob for delivering a care package of hog to my home on his way back to his. Jerry and his wife are amazing hosts and thanks to Brian for the loan of the tent. That hog Jerry gave me will be posted later this summer!

Tim your Bubba smoker is pretty darn cool and meeting Al Blancher and his wife was a joy. The food was great and Jeff is a pretty good bar tender! As always Laurel is a treat to be around.

This is the best kind of tired I can think of. LOL

 

[meateater]

No shortage of goodies there. I'm full just looking at the pics, the mudbugs really made me drool.

 

[rio_grande]

WOW ladies and gentelmen. This was great. Big thank you to Jerry and Karen as well as everyone behind the scenes that made this event happen.

Special shout out to Jerry and Karen for extending some extra special hospitality to my faimly. Bottom line i know very few people in this world that will treat folks the way we were treated.

Tim thanks for minding the goat and balls for me. You are an awsome cook in my book.

After a 12 hr drive I am gonna tuck some kids in and go to bed...
