So my wife is graduating from college today. Originally I wasn't gonna cook anything but at the last minute decided to have my parents and her parents over for a little bbq later on tonight. I'm trying something a little different. I'm marinading 3 racks of loin backs in a red wine marinade. Then instead of beer can chicken, I'm doing apple juice can cornish game hens. I've got the birds marinading in Goya Mojo. I figure when the ribs come off and go into the foil I'll put them on the gasser to finish and put the birds on the WSM. Also made a pan of Bill the Grill Guys baked beans, man those things are good. They should do a pod cast about them! Anyway, hopefully I'll be able to post some pictures later on tonight.
 
DO NOT let those birds sit for longer than 4 hours in mojo. Or if you do, You can tell me, I told you so! You will have a bitter bird any thing over 4 hours. Trust me, Been there, Done that! There is so much citrus in there they start to cook in the mojo. Just a thought.
 
Oh yea, Congrats on the wife graduating. =D> (my bad) We only have another year on my wife's tuition loan left to pay off from 5 years ago. I hope your wife lands a job she loves and it will pay off. :D Best of luck.

Sounds good Nick :!:
What are these beans you speak of? 8-[

This is I beleive Bill the Grill Guys baked beans. Cappy made them when I was in Myrtle Beach and I thought they were the best I ever had!

One large can of Show Boat beans (24 servings)
One lb sausage, I like Jimmy Dean
One onion
One green pepper
1 tb fennel seed
1/4 c brown suger
3/4 c ketchup
1/4 c viniger
Brown the sausage, add the onion pepper and fennel seed. Drain the beans, add to a 1/2 pan and combine all ingrediants. Bake covered at 350 for 45 min or until bubbly.
 
Okay, here's the pics. I didn't care for the ribs, I marinaded them for the first time and didn't like the flavor. Cornish game hens were good though as were the beans (thanks again Cappy & Bill).





The appitizers were put together by my kids. They didn't think I'd post them. Next step for my wife is to get a job!
 
Had a bum cook with ribs myself :-(
But them dancin' chickens look good \:D/

Everything looks great Nick :!:
What are the appetizers?

Again congrats to your'e wife =D>
