“If summer had one defining scent, it’d definitely be the smell of barbecue”
— Katie Lee
In the summer the question is not whether we will barbeque, but how we will barbecue. It’s as though the summer sun springs upon us a way of life full of erratic adventures, getting together with friends, and lighthearted conversations while watching the bbq with vigilance. That’s life. Add a few ingredients from your summer garden to create a more well-rounded, vibrant, and luscious spread sure to leave an imprint in your memory and carry you through another Winter.
Today we are in Plains Montana enjoying the company of the Lulack family. Radd is in charge of the meat and barbecue, of course, while the girls prepare sides and salads crowned with ingredients from their garden and the boys bring the beer. After all, what is barbeque without a beer? This libation is refreshing, hydrating, tasty, and keeps our minds off our growling stomachs patiently waiting for the ribs and chicken lollipops to cook. Mind you we, as Mtn Misfits, already had an adventurous day hiking up a trail, crumbling over large boulders, taking a wrong turn, backtracking, and hiking some more to get to the beautiful Leigh Lake, in Sanders County Montana. ( For the full story follow MtnMisfits.com) Suffice to say we worked up a good appetite so it is pretty hard to stay away from the appetizers while waiting for this scrumptious meat feast to reach optimum doneness.
Enjoy our recipe and may you always be surrounded by good friends and great barbeque- in that order.
