This little shindig had a clear theme throughout the house... U S A !!! Everything was red, white and blue and freakin delicious! As one might expect from the 4th of July weekend, there were many BBQs going on, so the HCM team had to split up to cover all of the BBQ action. This reporter was lucky enough to get invited to Jen's mom's house ( ok, it's Jim's house, too) out past Gig Harbour.
1. Gear. Gas grill, basic tools. Nothing to write home about (or on a blog). 1 point.
2. Quality of Meat. Chicken: Off tha hook. Pork ribs: Whoa. Some links: Good for lunch. Now I must clarify that the ribs and chicken were actually baked, then warmed on the grill, but hey, they could have microwaved them for all I care - they were free and delicious. 2 points.3. Alcohol. Beer and wine with talk of hard stuff somewhere. 1 point.
4. Side dishes. A wide assortment of salads, some cous cous and a Cowboy Caviar dip that had people freaking out. 2 points.5. Crowd. Great diversity and range of ages. No fights. 2 points.
6. Music. There was music inside and it had it's moments. And the music that was timed with the fireworks made me laugh, but not in a good way. But then again is there such thing as bad laughter?... hmm... 1 point.
7. Setting. The house was right on the sound. We lit fireworks off the dock and they had a barge out in the water with real fireworks. Oh, and they had little towels for drying your hands in the bathroom. We even played lawn darts!! When's the last time you played lawn darts? 2 points.
8. Dessert. Lemon bars, apple pie, and brownies. Maybe it was my munchies talking, but those may have been the best brownies ever. 2 points.
9. Did we like you? Georgiann and Jim were first class hosts and fun to hang out with. Did I mention they fed a bunch of people they didn't know? 2 points.
15 out of 18 points - a rating to be proud of!
