Snowy Weekend.

This weekend was a good weekend. Needles and I had company Friday night with my Brother, Sis in Law, my Nephew and a friend. We were delivered a anniversary gift from my family. The gift was a very nice magnetic map of the United States with several of the states that Needles and I had visited. I have already found a place for it to be displayed. Our guests stayed long enough to watch Adjustment Bureau again. Needles and I both enjoyed the movie a lot. As my Brother described it, it is The Matrix and Inception blended together. Saturday morning we went grocery shopping and picked up some fruit and other goodies. While at our local IGA we also picked up a couple of 10lb pork butts. Needles and I prepped them with our usual rub blend and I put them on to smoke at 8:30am this morning. Mopping every hour and turning every 2 hours we finally got about 8 hours into the smoke when we wrapped them in foil. I did something a little different with my mop sauce. With our upcoming vacation, I decided to use pineapple juice instead of apple juice. A minor change but I hope it turns out well. We pulled the pork butts off the smoker a couple of hours ago and finished them up in the stove. We let them get to 200 degrees and then let them rest in the hot stove for another half hour. We just pulled the shoulders and the blade bone just slide right out of the meat. Later we will pull the pork for storage. Tonight we got about an inch of snow. We have had an unseasonably warm winter and this year we have only had maybe 3 to 4 inches of snow total. This is a far cry from the 20 or so inches we got last winter. Tomorrow it is back to the grind and just taking it a day at a time until vacation. Hope you had a good weekend.
