i am back. it feels good to be back on the porch. billy and brandi and the kids are still here and we have been playing all kinds of games. we talked the guys into playing pictionary with us and it was hilarious. i have made the bacon things of paula deans and red dog loves them. better make a double batch, only thing is it gets boring standing there wrapping the bacon around the crackers. i used triscuits instead of ritz crackers and that worked well also. my nephew John took shrimp and put in inside a jalepeno that he had cleaned the seeds out of and then wrapped them in bacon and cooked them on the grill. yummy.
