Tonight's Celebration

My twin girls turn 10 tonight......wow.....where did the time go?  It seems like yesterday we were bringing them home from the hospital.  I have been blessed with GREAT kids.  Whenever I have one of those really tough days where I question what my purpose may be and why would God keep me in this world all I have to do is look at them and know my purpose is to be a father to these two beautiful girls and their older brother.
So I asked them what they wanted for dinner today - we can go out or I can cook.....whatever their hearts desire.  They talked for a few minutes and decided they want me to cook wings, asparagus, collard greens and mashed potatoes!?!?  Not at all what I was expecting but YES!!!  Guess I'm doing something right.

I'll post some pictures later today when I get everything going.

    Sounds like you have a great family. Enjoy your time with them. Looking forward to the pics.

    Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
    "Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"

    Thanks fellas.  The one that chose asparagus said "it's my favorite food even though I don't like the way it makes my pee smell".

    That is really awesome man- congrats.  Happy birthday to your girls.  My oldest daughter turned 16 on the 8th.  Watching her get in a car and back out of the driveway has been difficult for her mom and I.  Man it makes me feel old.  

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    I can really relate to the "where did the time go" thought. My youngest is off to college this fall.
