Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted July 4, 2023 My Duck-Buddies...I have a special pit built with firebrick in the backyard with unique racks created to cook chicken at the perfect height. Thus with the smoke salt, and basted with butter, we have a tasty-salty crust with a moist center--and often the chicken just falls off the bone. Add to that a departure from my diet for some Potato Salad...and we have a fantastic 67th birthday, and 4th of July celebration. Someday...I'd love to do this for some OBD members! 1 1 1 4 6 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDuck No. 4 Share Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) My soon to be daughter in law (they're getting married Friday here in France, she's from Norway) birthday today, my daughter's birthday tomorrow, my son's girlfriend birthday tomorrow (they both arrived here yesterday) and we swam in the Mediterranean this evening for the first time ever, here in Cannes. Happy birthday America. Wore a green and yellow Duck T-shirt in the riviera tonight . Your BBQ sounds delicious Charles but the food here is divine.

47sgs No. 5 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Happy 67th birthday Charles. Today is our 50th wedding anniversary, with kids here from across the country, so it's a big holiday for us. Is the 4th a great holiday or what. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountryProf No. 6 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Happy birthday, Charles! We had steak grilled over hickory, corn on the cob, and asparagus baked with lemon, garlic, parmesan, and Olive oil. And some Rainier cherries and strawberries that weren't up to par in our Eastern Kentucky home. Always be grateful you live in the Pacific Northwest. Things are better there! 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woundedknees No. 11 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Hope it was a great day of celebration for OBDF, everywhere! We shared a potluck (mostly Korean cuisine) dinner with a group in Basin, Montana, followed by fireworks in Boulder. The bbq Chinook salmon and Swedish meatballs were the only items I'd ever experienced before that, but it was all awesome. Quite a change from the normal routine at home in true Duck Country! Can't wait to get home. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
