Answers:
Bbq Pulled Pork Sandwiches
4 pounds pork shoulder roast
5 to 6 whole cloves
3 tablespoons Irvine Spices Smokey Rotisserie Blend Seasoning
2 red onions, thinly sliced
2 cups water
16 ounces barbeque sauce
Stud the roast with cloves and rub with rotisserie blend. Place roast in crock pot or slow cooker and top with onions. Cover roast with water and slow cook for 8 to 10 hours. Remove pork, discard cloves and layer of fat as well as any water and grease remaining in pot. When pork is cool enough to handle, use a fork or your hands to shred and pull the meat apart. Return the meat to the crock pot along with the barbeque sauce. Heat for 1 to 2 hours. Serve on your favorite roll

Super Lemony Lemon Squares Recipe
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks), plus 1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter
1 3/4 cups plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup cornstarch
3/4 teaspoon salt plus a pinch
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest
2/3 cup fresh lemon juice, strained
1/4 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons limoncello, or other lemon-flavored liqueur, optional
Lightly butter a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with 2 teaspoons of the butter and line with 1 sheet of parchment or waxed paper. Butter the top of this sheet of paper with 1 teaspoon of the remaining butter and then lay a second sheet of parchment or waxed paper crosswise over the first sheet. The parchment should be cut large enough so that the sides are even with the top of the baking dish; this extra paper will function as handles to help you remove the lemon squares from the pan later. Set pan aside.
In a large bowl combine 1 3/4 cups of the flour, 2/3 cup of the confectioners' sugar, the cornstarch, and 3/4 teaspoon of the salt and mix thoroughly. Cut the remaining 12 tablespoons of butter into small pieces and add to the flour mixture. Using your hands, 2 forks, or a pastry blender, work the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Transfer the butter-flour mixture to the prepared baking dish and press into an even 1/4-inch layer along the bottom and partly up the sides of the pan. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
While the crust is chilling, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Bake the crust until golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.
While the crust is baking, assemble the filling by combining the eggs, granulated sugar, flour, and lemon zest in a medium bowl and whisking until smooth. Stir in lemon juice, milk, limoncello, and remaining pinch of salt and mix well.
When the crust is golden brown, remove it from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Stir the lemon mixture again, then pour onto the warm crust. Bake until the filling is set, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Grasp the waxed paper that lines the 2 longest sides of the baking dish and remove the bars from the pan by pulling up gently. The entire dessert should easily dislodge and come away from the pan. Transfer to a cutting board and, using a clean knife, cut into squares, wiping knife after each cut. Place a small amount of confectioners' sugar into a small sieve, and sprinkle the bars with the sugar. Serve immediately, or refrigerate, wrapped with plastic wrap, up to 2 days, until ready to serve.
salmon, DONT BURN IT!!! also, my favorite, and its fun, take a bud light, cram it up a hole chickens hollowed out ***, and grill it standing up with the can holding it up. the alcohol will cook into the meat and give it some good flavoring.
another fav is taking corn still in the husk, soak it in water for about 20-30 minutes peel off all the layers except a few to where the corn isnt exposed. and grill it in the husk. it may catch fire which is normal so dont panic. take that off, and smother it with butter. add some Old Bay seasoning for some spice and WOOOHOOO i will be over to PART-TAY!!

Mediterranean Grilled Vegetables

peppers, remove core, and cut in large top?to?bottom pieces. Trim ends
from squash and cut in diagonal rounds, about 1/2" thick. Toss all
vegetables in a large bowl with olive oil and seasoning, breaking up the
onion wedges somewhat. Place in a single layer on a very hot grill
(watch out for the flare?ups!) and grill, turning occasionally, until peppers

Shrimp On The Barbie

Soak a dozen long wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes. Then push
skewers through prawns, lengthwise, from head to tail with only 1 to a
skewer. Combine all ingredients in saucepan and cook over medium to
low heat, stirring, until butter is completely melted. Dip skewered prawns
in the orange sauce and position on oiled grill rack about 4 inches above
the coals. Baste liberally with sauce and grill for 2 minutes. Turn the
prawn over and baste again, cooking for another 2 minutes. Smaller
prawn will be done at this point, but continue basting and turning larger
prawn until they are pink and cooked through. Remove from heat

remaining sauce for a dip for the prawns.
Is these enough or do you need more just ask if U need more. I almos have 100's of all kinds of recipes which I never use. lol!
I have 2 for you:
Rib Eye (or your choice of cut) stakes marinated in "oyster sauce" (Can be found in the Oriental section of your local grocer. I know it sounds weird and I thought the same thing until I tasted it. I never cook stakes any other way now. Do not add sauce during cooking as it must be cooked in order to taste right
Baked beans
1 lg can of Van Camps pork -n- beans
1 can of Rotel tomatoes
1 lb of ground meat (browned)

The beans are even better the second day so if you want to make them a day ahead of time and refrigerate overnight the reheat them before the party.
