I have the New England brand of blueberry cobbler it's delicious!
 
It was another busy weekend at the Rock household. Had the new back patio poured on Saturday. Did house/yard work on Sunday and was able to work on the stand as well.

My only productivity this weekend was:

Successfully scaring the clown goby into hiding because of blowing Dino’s off her rocks, causing her to damage her eye :(

And making my animal crossing island five stars finally.

Oh and a snail trap for the 35, since they’ve exploded and are trying to chow down on my precious buces

Are you going to cover the patio with a roof? We have one and I keep trying to convince my husband we need to cover it and screen it in so we can sit out there and enjoy the weather when it cools off in the evenings. He said it would cost too much.

I can't argue this as I have never had SC BBQ i can however say NC is better than GA in my opinion because they put vinegar on it in GA and I hate vinegar.

Ah, the first shot across the bow! South Carolina’s barbecue is vinegar based. @LadyMac are you just going sit there as and take Amanda trashing South Carolina’s pride and joy?

In that case than I will also say NC is better. The only thing I think that vinegar should be used for is pickles...
