AWWWWW BBQ in Austell

Several months ago Sonny's BBQ in Austell closed which left ZERO options for BBQ. I was not a huge Sonny's fan but those times when I wanted some BBQ it was there.
How happy I was when I passed by Mr D's BBQ. Small bldg with a big truck parked outside,flashing lights and a sign that read free samples...I am in!
After talking to the smoke master and him finding out I am from Texas the home of brisket he offered up a nice sized sample of brisket...um um good!
Since I had a good sampling of the brisket I ordered something I thought most people would eat which is the chicken, here's my review....
Service-Good(Service with a smile)
Interior-Small but clean, most people were getting to go orders.
Food-I had Chicken,Yams , Baked Beans and a corn bread muffin. The chicken was a little drier than what I like but good overall.
Yams and Baked Beans were good.
The cornbread muffin taste like it was not baked fully. Taste a bit like dough.
Price-$9.45 1/2 a chicken,yams,baked beans and a corn bread muffin-Not bad.
I would go back as I am a big BBQ eater and this is the ONLY place in the neighborhood.

Who knew food could be good-Six Feet Under

Food-A-I had the shrimp tacos(soft) with the home fries. The tacos were good. I could have done without the home fries.....very hard. I also had a root beer which I have not had in a lonnnnng time. Very refreshing:-)My girlfriend had the shrimp Po Boy-She said it was good(not as big and tasty as the ones in New Orleans) but good.
Service B-Felt like we were sitting there about 10 minute's. We finally called the host over who took and delivered our drink order. I went on this trip with a girlfriend but I do plan to go back with my hubbie.
Prices-A-$10.50 for the tacos and $9.50 for the Po-Boy.

White SANGRIA-YUMMY

My plan for the 4th of July weekend was to prepare a brunch menu.
While looking for ideas to cook a brunch menu I came across a recipe for White Sangria. Seeing this made me put White Sangira in my google search engine and low and behold there are lots of recipes for this drink.
I took a little from this recipe and a little from that recipe and came up with a really delicious, refreshing drink. Here yeah gooo......
Put the following in a closed container for at least 24 hours then enjoy
I picked up a glass container at Walmart with the spout at the bottom and closed top.


2 bottles of Riesling
The juice of 2 oranges
1 orange sliced
1 lemon sliced
1 lime sliced
1 apple sliced
Approximately 15 strawberries sliced
1/2 cup of pine apple
2 kiwis sliced
1 1/2 cups of sugar melted down with a small amount of water.
I put the sugar in last and stirred everything up.


Easy recipe that came out pretty good.
Please let me know if you try this and how it works out for you.
