FUN IN THE BACK YARD

OUR FIRST THROWDOWN!!!

Well, our love of, or maybe obsession with BBQ has led to our first THROWDOWN, after Bobby Flay's Throwdown program on the food network.  We challenged each other with our best burger recipes, voted, then ATE!  Katie made a jalapeno burger with provolone and dresssing, Donna made a pesto parmesan burger and those tied for 1st place.  Second was Vanessa and Salomon's turkey, soy chorizo, cilantro, and cheese on tortilla along with Greg's (our neighbor and friend), plain burger with a kickin' sauce (secret recipe).  Carl came in 3rd with his steak seasoning burger.  Jake contributed his famous jalapeno spinach artichoke dip - yummmmm!

Greg and his fiance, Carol have become very good friends of our family and we adore them.  Ken has been working with Greg on a massive decking project at Greg's house.  People are driving by just to see it!

You'll notice a blonde young lady on our deck that looks a lot like Carol - that's her twin - Clea.

We will be having more throwdown - next will be chicken, then Italian, then Mexican.

We already know Salomon will win the Mexican throwdown - we just want the food!
