BBQ Recipes
me know what you think of it!
Sweet &
Spicy Corn Bread
Ingredients:
1
cup of melted butter
1
cup of white sugar
4
eggs
1
small can of kernel corn
1
small can of creamed corn
1
small can of chillies, chopped
1
cup all-purpose flour
1
cup cornmeal (yellow)
4
tsp baking powder
쩌
tsp salt
Optional: 1 cup shredded cheese (I use Cheddar &
Monterey Jack)
Directions:
While heating your BBQ up to about 300 degrees, grease a
13x9 baking dish (9x9 makes the bread thicker). In a large bowl, mix thoroughly
the butter & sugar. Beat the eggs in the same bowl adding them to the
sugar/butter mixture, then blend in the corn and chilies and cheese. In another
bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal salt & baking powder and slowly add that to
the wet mixture. Once well mixed, pour it into the baking dish. I keep one side
of my BBQ lit and put the baking dish on the unlit side. Depending on how
accurate you can keep your temperature, it usually takes about 45 minutes to
cook. Test it in the center with a toothpick until it comes out clean.
Enjoy!
Little David
Little David / BeerTroubleshooting Chart
Little David is in the 5th grade. Yesterday morning when the teacher
asked the children what their fathers did for a living. All the
typical answers came up; fireman, policeman, salesman, etc.
The teacher noticed that little David was being uncharacteristically
quiet and so she asked him about his father.
"My father's an exotic dancer in a gay bar and takes off all his
clothes in front of other men. Sometimes, if the offer's really good,
he'll go out to the alley with some guy and do it with him for money."
The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the
other children to work on some coloring, and took little David aside
to ask him, "Is that really true about your father?"
"No," said David, "He plays for the Philadelphia Eagles, but I was too
embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids."
..............................
From my brother who lives in Philly, and is a HUGE Eagles fan. If you
watched the Redskins & Eagles game a week ago you'll sympathize.

Arrived in Paris
An elderly gentleman of 83 arrived in Paris by plane. At the
>French customs desk, the man took a few minutes to locate his passport in
>his carry-on bag.
> "You have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer
>asked, sarcastically.
> The elderly gentleman admitted he had been to France previously.
> "Then you should know enough to have your passport ready."
> The American said, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to
>show it."
> "Impossible. Americans
always
have to show your passports on
>arrival in France!"
> The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he
>quietly explained. "Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in
>1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find any Frenchmen to show
>it to."
