Endless Summer BBQ

Saturday was the Endless Summer End Of Summer BBQ and it was great! Several people asked what that title meant, so I asked Jeff and he said, "Endless Summer refers to the fact by mid September we wish summer would end and then End of Summer refers to summer ending next week." We all enjoyed the Halibut, King Salmon and Cod from Jeff's Alaska Fishing Trip. Our menu consisted of: Z-Tejas recipe for blackened Fish Tacos, Blackened Halibut, Blackened Salmon, Grilled Chicken Sandwiches, Grilled Salmon with Basil Honey Vinaigrette, Grilled Halibut with Mango Relish, Hot Dogs, Fruit, Grilled Veggies, Potato Salad, Asian Cole Slaw, Tossed Green Salad, and more. It was tasty!
A big THANK YOU from The Cameron Team to John Todaro for stepping in and running the grill, he was a big help. You see him getting a little smoked out from the grill right here.



Thanks to Jeff & Lisa for opening up their house for everyone too! Jeff loves to entertain and throw big parties. This was a biggie, he said their biggest yet with approximately 125 guests. Many were children and they were having a blast in the pool and sliding down the big Rock Waterfall Slide. One casualty was the basket ball hoop, about 3/4 way through the party it broke. It had rusted through at the base and took its last dunk. Time for a new one!





For a bit it looked like it was going to rain. Many people volunteered to bring in the food and Jeff kept a positive attitude. There were a few drops but mainly the storms came from the South and North but never connected. We were the one dry spot between them and then they broke up. The weather was great for mid September. About 100 degrees for most of the afternoon. Hope everyone had a great time and enjoyed the friends, family, and food.





Included are some photos of the guests at the party. You can see the fish taco, some blackened Halibut and blackened King Salmon in this photo, but the fish is covered with the Mango Salsa. For those of you who are Muddy Buddy Sponsors, take a look at the food Jeff ate. He's really doing good trying to lose weight and get into shape for this event. However, he came in on Monday upset about his weight. He said it wasn't the party as much as it was the exhaustion from prepping for the party and not eating right during that period that put some pounds back on. Thanks for sponsoring him & donating to such a wonderful cause.





It was nice to meet those who came and finally put a name and voice to your face. Now when I talk to you I can remember what you look like. Great to see everyone having a good time. See you at the next event!
