The BBQ That Wasn't

Tom rolls over to me this morning and whispers in my ear "Honey, I'm gonna get up and give the hog some juice injections".

May I introduce Tom's smoker!

The weather this weekend was beautiful, the smoker was assembled and ready to go and then it happens...all best laid plans go down the toilet.

I appreciated Isis Kitty hanging out
with Lincoln so I could enjoy the outside a little!

 All this little guy wanted to do was cuddle in my bed and watch Curious George.  Nothing like a fever to keep people at bay.  Not to mention half of the people that we had invited had stomach bugs and had to bail too. So hear we are with a 7lb pork shoulder, Switchback on tap, my fabulous spinach-guacamole dip made and Tom, Colby and I left to eat it.

One of my favorite summer dips!

Tom's 1st attempt using the smoker was a success, the pork was great! Good thing because we will be having it all week in as many different ways that I can think to serve it.  

Well, it's early in the season. We will have plenty of time to make up for it as long as we can all stay healthy.
