In a sense I am embarrassed to say that I have never been to the American Royal BBQ. Being a BBQ lover I thought this would be the place to be. I gathered the husband and sisters and we ventured down to the American Royal. There were hundreds of tents. This had to be a type of heaven!
While wandering into the American Royal after paying $10 for parking and $10 per person to get in I was extremely disappointed! I had no idea that there would be fewer than five vendors actually SELLING their BBQ. We finally found a place to eat and by the time we had gotten to the front we saw the sign saying they had pulled chicken and pork. That was it! I figured I waited in line paid money to park and get in I might as well try it. I purchased the pulled chicken which was good (three out of five stars).
Once we all realized that there was no hope for filling my now empty stomach we decided to leave.
It was a very sad day but at least now I know what I am missing…not much!
Other than the sad day at the American Royal not much has been happening. Mom, Dad, and the kids have left and now live two blocks away (very nice when you don’t want to cook!). My birthday is next Tuesday, Oct. 16th and we are having a get together to hang out at my house on Oct. 13th to celebrate. Then on Oct. 20th I am having a Creative Memories party. I think I might actually have a hobby!!! Digital scrap booking is right up my alley!!!!
I hope all is going well for everyone and even though the news was sad about the American Royal BBQ, it is not going to bring me down…we will have BBQ on Saturday!!!!!
