Yep, on July 4, 1916, 100 years ago today, my mom was born. Spent the day with family and friends - and eating far too much. On the menu - pork barbecue, coleslaw, potato salad and baked beans, all homemade. No egg here so the butts were cooked in her oven. You'd be amazed how great Q can taste when cooked in an oven! Sauced with choice of Eastern NC vinegar, Carolina Gold mustard based or a Lexington style. Good eats!

The old girl had a great time! I am exhausted! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM!

I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Awesome brother. Truly awesome.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    Happy Birthday to her.  

    I was honored to spend 50 yrs of my life having my grandmother around and she was 54 yrs older than me. Born 1907-Died 2011  It is great to hear the stories and wisdom of those Centenarians.  Wish they could have talked sense into the last 2 generations.

    It's telepathy! I was thinking about your mom today and was going to ask you how she's doing! What an awesome post telling us about the celebration today. You made her VERY happy!

    You'll recover...you always do.

    Thanks, guys. She really is quite remarkable.

    And she likes the fact that they have fireworks every year. Just for her.  :lol:
