Last Sunday of the month rolled around & we were forecast for fairly heavy rain that day...I figgered, I already got some stuff, so I can cook Sat nite & just drop off some stuff for a lot less people showing up, maybe a good sized batch of leftovers..................
RAIN............. ALL SATURDAY NITE.............even the dogs wouldn't go out in it, they just peeked around the corner of the house like: " Damn Silly Sumbitch is standin' out there gettin' all wet? Not Me !!!"
Action Shots..........
Pork shoulder (or Boston Meat Hunk, or whatever they've decided to call it now....) lofted out for the bean pan.........
Beans in @ 12:30 in the AM............charcoal's burning like crazy as it has to keep up with all the moisture that has to be cooked off also......
Next AM......Rain subsides & after almost 15 hours, we've got very moist pork.........
So I foil, toweled & hot-held these two butts & drove around & visited, dropping off pork, beans & slaw as I went.......
Went over so well with Mom & my brother (who's been sick with somrething after getting back from two weeks scuba in the Phillipenes) that I thought I'd do it all over again yesterday.............
Four shoulders..........
The one all the way in the back is just holding in foil, no foil during the cook; I tried that Trader Joe's charcoal & it burned pretty hot & fast & stuff got done quiker than expected................
Three pans of beans.............
Red bells, onion, gran. garlic & a big dollop of honey...........
This why I 'crown' them.... fat just melts all thru & around & flavors the piece & the beans below really well.....
I got a call from the daughter of my mom's good friend & neighbor after I got home......
She said that she's been trying to get her ma to eat something, anything, lately & that she's just not got much of an appetite ( this lady & my ma are some of the few of the parents left in the old neighborhood & her neighbor's not been doing too good lately )
Anyway, her daughter says "Mom chowed so hard on that stuff !!! Esp. the beans, she LOVED the beans !!! she hasn't eaten that much in months !!!!"
Good to know that a Weber can fix all kinds of problems..........
PS: forgot to mention, I made up 12 pounds of Deep Fried Potato salad, also..........
