Braving big boomer storms and big fat rain, My Sweetie and I went to Hobbytown Ankeny last night, at Periscope depth
for the IPMS Plastic Surgeons 25th Anniversary Pot-Luck party. A dual celebration as 20 July is our one year anniversary as a couple. My trusty, rusty Optima swam the swollen byways to arrive safe and reasonably dry!
Don Barry, our resident pork-smoking expert, was politely commissioned, at no cost to himself to prepare the smoked pork butts (which actually come from the shoulder) Don smoked & simmered what was originally 20+ pounds of delicious pork!
He says the animals this meat came from are a cross between a Duroc and a Clydesdale!
With $$ a-plenty in the Club coffers, we elected for the serene atmosphere of our hobby shop to gather. I made my Train-wreck baked beans, Aimee made an excellent coconut cream pah, and hashbrown casserole, Young Ty Stevens prepared and amazing S'Mores Cheesecake. Even though Ty wasn't there to be appreciated, I am certain he will make a dandy Wife the way he cooks! Plenty of good eats were on hand! Greek salad, Bandana's potato casserole, chips and buns and BBQ-sauce! Oh My!
Kurt is TOUCHING ME!
This salutation was originally for Mike, since we all miss him so! A happy dinner was shared in great company!
With our operating laser etching machine, Teresa and I delivered the Surgeon Balsa wood gliders I planned for our 25th contest, at long, last. Thanks again to Dave & Mary Bos for being such great supporters of our Merry Band of Model Miscreants!
My Sweetie built Her first Model! A geodesic Night Globe, with glow in the dark cities! I am justifiably proud!
Thanks for looking in and sharing our Model Fun!
