Smoke and Bones Wedding Barbecue

Posted by: buzz in family, food

Every now and again Jen and I will talk about our wedding. I mean, we are engaged. The wedding talk gets interspersed with negotiations for a second child. The timing of the two are deeply intertwined.

When we talk about the wedding, I continually push for a casual beach ceremony topped off with some AWESOME barbecue. You’ve seen the parties along Spanish Banks in the summer time. Big Filipino families with a hibachi and blankets and tents having the time of their lives. That’s what I vote for.

A spontaneous beach ceremony in the midst of flying frisbees, croquet and laughter with family and friends. The only difference between my wedding wish and the Filipino Family Reunion is the hibachi.

No thanks.

It’s a wedding, so you’ve got to do it up right, which is why I’d hire Smoke and Bones to do the catering.

I’m telling the story because yesterday afternoon the staff at the radio station office staff had a Scavenger Hunt and then a big bbq on our deck catered by this most excellent company.

I’m lucky I’ve gotten through this whole post without drool or sauce mucking up the keyboard. The baked beans will blow your mind. Seriously, they’re just baked beans - but sooooo much more.

If you’re wanting to do a wedding casually and differently (with lots of sticky fingers to wipe on your Sunday Best), or you’ve got a huge summer bash planned, I would seriously recommend calling up Smoke and Bones and getting ‘er done for $15- $25 a person - you can’t even do that at a restaurant.

						Trent Klatt is Not a Vancouver Canuck

I just got my Canucks season ticket renewal reminder.  Have a look at the image at the top of the email.

Not only is the uniform over a season old, I swear that’s Trent Klatt in the foreground.  It’s certainly not Luongo, or Ohlund, or Mitchell, or Kesler or any of the other current stars the Canucks have to hang their marketing hat on.  
It’s either Trent Klatt, or a guy who looks so much like him that me, a hardcore Canucks fan, has no idea who he is.
Sure, We Are All Canucks.. but I’d like to identify with the current ones, that I can actually recognize wearing the uniforms you’re wanting me to buy.
