Black Belt / Father’s Day Celebration

Family Celebration
Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01621

To celebrate earning my black belt yesterday the one thing that I really wanted to do was have a celebration meal at Firefly’s BBQ. I love that place! I went there a few years back and had the most incredible meal. It is one of my favorite places and it can be expensive so only for very special occasions. We went to 11 am Mass and then drove to Marlboro. We made a reservation on the way to get seats out on the patio. They have a cornhole pitch out there and Andy made use of it after our meal.

Candied Bacon

The item that I enjoy most is the candied bacon with the sunny side up egg. I am not normally a fan of the sunny side up egg but there is something about the pairing of these foods that is beyond compare.

burnt Ends

They had burnt ends this time around and while they were good, I’ve had better there. These were not as melt in your mouth as I’ve had in the past.

Hot Pickle hot Sauce

Andy and I went in to get all the BBQ sauces and while we were there Andy found a Pickle flavored Hot Sauce. So, I gave it a try. It was okay but not that memorable. For ou main meal we got a family picnic of ribs, fried chicken, pulled pork, corn bread, rolls and a couple of sides: BBQ baked beans and cucumber salad.

ribs and chicken

Everything was excellent and we had a ton left over. I took it easy because I did not have my full appetite back yet. There are plenty of leftovers, though.
