Sunday stuff

I still haven't finished my E3 stuff yet. I suck. I know.

Dad Stuff

Zoe and I went to a horse show where she won her event.

She's becoming quite the horsewoman.

Other stuff

My project for the day was making some pulled pork. I bought a pork shoulder at the supermaket. I had spoken to Martin about it previously and had my game plan laid out.

I put my smoke rub on the shoulder and got the smoker smoking.

This is what the shoulder looked like after eight hours in the smoker.

The pork fell apart in my hands and I was able to easily shred it and discard the bones. The fat had all melted away and the meat was easy to handle.

I made a BBQ sauce based on KC Masterpiece that I found on the net. The sauce was pretty good, but a little vinegary. Perhaps overnight in the fridge will mellow it a bit.

There's a great recipe that is on the special features of the "Once Upon A Time in Mexico" DVD. Since your pork came out so good, you may be interested in the recipe which is for "Puerco Pibil". If you try it, write a post your experience.

Here is a regional bbq article. I have done both the memphis and KC ribs. The KC sauce tastes very similar to KC Masterpiece. I mixed the remains of both rubs together and liked the results.
