Yes, please. Add on a glaze made with a dash of your favorite whiskey, soy, ginger, and honey, and that's what we call NEXT LEVEL. We just left to head to the grocery store to make this STAT. 😋

LAST CHANCE TO ENTER OUR GIVEAWAY! (So why not try a rhyming post?!)
Once upon a time in the month of June
All of the workers got off of Zoom
To return to the backyards of yesteryear
Where they once hosted friends they held so dear.
And do you know what these wise hosts decided to do?
They entered G.A.P.'s giveaway and told a friend or two.
They liked, they shared, they entered and prayed.
Knowing G.A.P.'s drawing would not be delayed.
And, how awesome, on Saturday when the contest was a wrap,
They received in their Inbox an email from G.A.P.!
Saying they had won a fabulous prize,
How they were picked from thousands of fans they couldn't surmise.
But they were happy they had done everything right,
They liked, and they shared, and they entered that night.
For anyone who enters can win - yes that means YOU,
So you can once again host that epic BBQ. 😉
It's the LAST DAY to enter. This could be you -- receiving the winning email and planning your next backyard bonanza. Wouldn't that be nice?
All entries are due by MIDNIGHT. Very best of luck to you all!
