Pigcasso

1. I am moving to a top ten format so that I can post random (but organized) thoughts!
2. We have been playing a lot of guitar hero this week.
3. We had our second to the last weekly American Idol watching party at the Waldrons. Every Tuesday that we are all in town we watch and critique Idol and eat pizza. This week we also had Young Women's at their house so we watched the Wednesday elimination show too.
4. Grandpa Hunt was in town and we celebrated his birthday on Thursday with dinner at Carrabas.
5. I have started working on my first Transmission Line in Tulsa. Now I can drive past and admire my handiwork! Actually it will be nice to be able to see all phases of construction.
6. This week was the 20th annual Magnolia Blossom Festival in Magnolia, Arkansas. The event runs all week ending with the cook-off. We arrived Friday night, had dinner, checked into the hotel and went to Walmart for last minute supplies.
7. Saturday morning started with a parade into the town square. We got lots of comments on our truck and rig. Everyone loved them. We spent the day setting up, prepping the steaks and eating lots of fair food (corn dogs, funnel cakes, etc) before we could fire up the grill at 3:30PM.
8. The steak for the judges was due between 5:00PM and 5:30PM. We could start serving the public at 6PM.
9. They estimated that 41,000 people attended the festival. But, they only sell 5,000 tickets for dinner. People pay $15 for a steak, potato, salad, roll and drink. Pigcasso cooked 90 steaks. One went to the judges, 25 for to-go orders and the rest went in less than 20 minutes.
10. We did not win any awards. :(
