Another Holiday weekend, another chance to smoke some Butt. Although, it was a challenge finding a butt. What the heck is going on? I went to 3 Krogers who only had the picnic shoulder. I go to Wal Mart...picnic shoulder. I was getting worried. I hate to buy the picnic and pay for all that skin. I like pork rinds, but don't feel like making some. Finally someone mentions a meat market nearby. The other one I go to doesn't carry pork other than ribs, so I wasn't hopeful. BUT they came thru. And the staff was talking some serious smack about Ole Miss football, which always warms my heart! #HAILSTATE #GOTIGERSGO
So I got home, trimmed this 8.9lb beauty and threw the Kosher to her. Well, I don't know it was a her...could've been a him. This morning at 6:30 the sun was peaking out, the temps were a brisk 69 (normally on September 1 it would be 78-82) and the Slow N Sear was singing the song of my peoples!
I also am planning on holding out a hunk or two of this when I get done today. I want to chop that up and fry it in a cast iron skillet to get a good crisp on it and make some carnitas tacos. That may be tomorrow night tho.
I've got some bacon wrapped jalapenos and some balogna to go with this. Happy Day with No Labor, Y'all!
