JACKSON-COGNATO-LEIB-LUM-ATHON!

What? Bruschetta, Jalapeno Poppers, Potato Wedges, Grilled Salmon, Ribs, Tandoori Chicken, Grilled Veggies, and Cake
Where? Lum Family Household
Rating: 9 out of 10. If only it didn't hail...
Details: The family is in town! Run for the hills! (Just kidding!) It was decided since a good chunk of the extended family would be in town that we would celebrate Grandma Jackson's 80th Birthday. What better way to celebrate than with some delicious grilled goodies?

Classic Charlie Lum appetizer, the Bruschetta was fantastic and disappeared within minutes of plating.  The Jalapeno Poppers were extraordinarily spicy, which should be expected of Jalapeno Poppers.  The Potato Wedges were pretty good for a side dish.  The grilled Salmon was amazing and is always a smash hit.  The Tandoori Chicken added just the right amount of spice to this fantastic meal.  The grilled veggies were perhaps the fastest moving item next to the salmon.  It was quite a selection as we had Eggplant, Zucchini, Peppers, Onions, and Asparagus.  And the Ribs... ohh my, the Ribs! Smoked and grilled for 6 hours, these were among the best the Lum house has ever produced.  Of course, no birthday celebration is complete without a cake! A 2-tiered vanilla beauty, it was phenomenal.
The Birthday Girl!
