That's a tough one. I have ground Wagyu in the freezer for burgers as well as a side of venison ribs. Since it's a long weekend with at least two dry days in a row I might do both. I'll have to get a clean blade for the Sawzall to do up the ribs though it was a pretty big animal.
6 slabs of spare ribs on he smoker, turkey on the weber kettle grill(if you have never tried this you need to! Easiest way to cook a turkey for an outdoor crowd!) 2 kinds of baked beans, coleslaw, potato salad, tuna macaroni salad, sweet corn, hot dogs and burgers for anyone who hates ribs and turkey. Various chips, dips, fresh veg from local gardens, several desserts... around 30 people this year with all the little ones.
I'll be out on Cape Cod. Horrible electric stove and oven, propane grill outside. The only good news is the seafood. I'll know what I'm cooking when I see it.
The fourth is our big party here in Sweden. We have around 100 comming this year, a nice mix of 10 different countries including a few Brits to symbolically take to the ocean and accept their surrender.
The menu
Roasted pig, the guest of honor is about 20 kilos, on a spit and turned for about 5 hours.
Bbq pulled beef with brioche rolls
Hot dogs for the little imps
Tortellini salad, organic cold pressed raps oil, ramps and the nicest tomatoes i can find
Pasta salad, for the wife, mayo and onion.
Potato salad with creme fraish and rocket.
Apple pie and home cranked ice cream.
Carrots, celery with philly fluff.
Spiking a couple of watermelons with Stoli.
Got a side of Salmon for the vegetarians, hot smoking it on the grill with hickory chips.
Lotsa beer, wine and bourbon, george dickle 12 year, coca cola, hershy chocolate and American bought skittles.
Obligatory chip and such.

What a spread! Sign me up, @Lagom. What is cold pressed raps oil? What's a Philly Fluff? Your potato salad sounds to die for. The skittles made me chuckle. /img/vbsmilies/smilies/lol.gif

Thanks for that great advice Panini - that knowledge is a chick magnet for the single guys. Then explain to them that the really big cucumbers aren't that great either. /img/vbsmilies/smilies/biggrin.gif
@ cerise Rapè seed oil is very popular in Europe. The organic cold pressed is bright golden yellow and just as good, abet different, than EVOO. Philly fluff is equall parts Philadelphia cream cheese and marshmallow fluff with cinnamon and a hint of cardamom. A great dip for carrots, celery,apples and such. The American skittles are different than the ones you get here, better tasting. I got a big bag of Jolly Ranchers too.
@mike9 Yes I have, at least my version of it. For the life of me i can't find cheese wizz of cheep provolone cheese so I come as close as I can. Have to make the rolls myself to get them right. Chewey and soft at the same time.
@panini We have a variety of backgrounds that come, chineese, vietnameese, egypten, german, dutch, ozzys, yards yadda. Its a fun time. Alas no fireworks, this time of the year it never gets dark, just twilight about 1am and sun up again at 4am. The big firework day here is New Year's Eve. Go figure as it's dark about 90% of the time then.
Update. Had to cancel the party, my 13 year old' appendix decided it needed to damn near burst yesterday so she had to have emergency surgery yesterday afternoon. So today I'm having pizza delivery at the hospital while she is recovering. Priorities. We'll reschedule for August.
Friday I sawed that venison cage in half then sawed off the chine. Trimmed them up and seasoned with my rub and left them in foil overnight. We went up to a friends yesterday and they went on the grill along with some corn and fresh garlic bread. We finished off the meal with espresso and baklava. We need SALAD today to stay tuned in the challenge thread.
