Now it’s Jan’s turn . . .
Now it’s Jan’s turn.
In yesterday’s blog, I ranked the 3 top-rated BBQ that we tried here in Memphis. The three were:
I ranked them on 4 different dishes.
Ribs
Pulled Pork
Beans
Cole Slaw
I ranked them this way:
Ribs:
1. Rendezvous
2. Jim and Nick’s
3. The Bar-B-Q Shop
Pulled Pork:
1. Jim and Nick’s
2. Rendezvous
3. The Bar-B-Q Shop
Beans:
1. Rendezvous
2. Jim and Nick’s
3. The Bar-B-Q Shop
Slaw:
1. Jim and Nick’s
2. The Bar-B-Q Shop
3. Rendezvous
* * * * *
Jan’s BBQ list went like this.
Ribs
1. The Bar-B-Q Shop
2. Rendezvous
3. Jan didn’t have the ribs at Jim and Nick’s
Pulled Pork
1. Jim and Nick’s
2. Jan only had the Pulled Pork at Jim and Nick’s
3.
Beans:
1. Rendezvous
2. The Bar-B-Q Shop
3. Jan didn’t have the ribs at Jim and Nick’s
Slaw:
1. Jim and Nick’s
2. The Bar-B-Q Shop
3. Rendezvous
So Jan and I completely disagree on the Ribs, mostly agree on the Pulled Pork, mostly agree on the Beans, and completely agree on the Slaw.
Not bad. More agreement than we have on a lot of things.
And just to top it off, we’re going back to Rendezvous one last time on Thursday.

Despite telling me they were going to take the site next to us out of service since our front AC was plugged into that pedestal, the park put somebody there last night.
This morning when I got up I noticed that the front AC, the one on my breakout connection, didn’t seem to be operating. So I headed outside to check the breaker on the 30 amp pedestal behind our next door neighbors who were gone for the day.
As I suspected, the breaker was popped, and with this serial breaker hookup, not only was our front AC off, but their rig had lost all power. To forestall this happening again, I unplugged my extension cord, flipped the breaker back on, and then dragged my cord over to the unoccupied pedestal on the other side of us. At least I hope it stays unoccupied until we leave Sunday morning.
Though, actually I think I can reach the pedestal one more site over. I hope.
For dinner tonight, Jan whipped up another version of her Taco Salad, but this time used a can of Gold Star Cincinnati Chili, instead of taco meat. Really good, and a nice variation.
Plus, it used up the last of the salad greens.
