I'm at work about as early as I've ever gotten here. I have a co-worker who's retiring/leaving today and our small branch of the company asked me to cook lunch for the occasion. This co- worker has been the absolute worst person I've worked with in the 20 years I've been here, micro managing, meddling, vindictive, petty, pick a bad adjective and she fits it to a tee. My wife remarked last night that she couldn't believe that I was going to this much trouble for her but I told her that I'm looking at it as a new beginning party!
On to the cook, I've got 17 pounds of Boston Butt rubbed down with the Southern Succor rub recipe from Smoke and Spice on the 222.5 WSM loaded with some Kingsford Blue and several chunks of hickory. Later I'll be firing up my Performer and putting about 5 pounds of sausage on it. Other co-workers are responsible for the rest of the fixins.
Its a mix of a sad and happy day in another way though. We've got a fenced area around our A/C units and I'm going to leave the Perfomer in there when I go home this evening, sad, but now with "her" gone and a grill on the place we can start cooking burgers and such on Fridays so there's the happy.
