Pork boston butt with many fixins

[Love Life]

The boston butt has been in the oven for a couple hours now, with a couple more hours left. We will be making jalapeno slaw and hush puppies as sides for those who want it shredded for sandwiches. We will be making mashed potatoes with gravy, green beans, and carrots with rolls who prefer it sliced.

What do you all have cooking this Sunday?

Dang that sounds good...

I miss eating pork, would love to have some marinated mojo pork(Cuban). But my heart doctor says that is a no no.

I wonder if that is how my heart got plugged up to start with from Cuban food in South Florida.

Grilled Tuna, little potatoes, artichoke hearts, green beans homemade bread .

I love to cook those pork roasts for about 12 hours on my gas smoker.

Boston pork butts.....My favorite meat to smoke in my kamado ceramic cooker.I smoked 3 pork butts last Thursday for a all church singing dinner Friday night. Cooked them 12+ hours till they were 200* internal temp. Fall off the bone tender. Lump charcoal with Apple wood with a cooking temp. of 225-250*. Very easy to do and very tasty............Terry

Steak cooked sous-vide to medium rare and some asparagus. Maybe make a wine/mushroom/butter sauce to go with it or just serve some finishing salt. Sometimes I will do a piece of chuck for a long time sous-vide. It turns out like a piece of steak, but with even better meaty taste and at a fifth of the cost. Shame we have given up bread as home made rolls/bread would be great with it. Also given up carbs so no potatoes or anything like that. Given up desert or would have made a pie or cake to go along with it. Ice water with a slice of lemon for a beverage. Sundays are my family day where enjoying the company of my family is at the top of my list and dinner an important time.

Would love to go hog hunting and get a small one to put on the smoker whole. Just feeling a bit old to climb up a tree so the hog doesn't put me on its smoker. Probably time to look for somewhere with a stand to hunt from in NC or SC. Maybe get two and use one for all of the Italian recipes that say comfort food.

Bread making is definitely something I want to get into.

The butt is resting now before it goes back in for a high heat crisping. Hush puppy batter is mixed and ready for the fryer, and the gravy I ready for me to apply heat.


Almost eating time!!! I also have me a jar of Washington Market BBQ sauce.

If you have a Kitchen Aid mixer I can give you a simple white bread recipe that takes about five minutes to make.

Wish I was eating what you're making. It's left over Chinese food tonight :beer:

I don't have a kitchen Aid. I do all my mixing with Randall made knives and all my slicing with a karate chop!

On a serious note, I would like to try your recipe.

I genuinely enjoy cooking for people. Sunday dinner is important to us too.

You should try smoking a boston butt for about 4 hours then sous vide at about 148F for 48 hours, it falls apart and then melts in your mouth when you eat it.

Chili dogs and steak fries. Great cold weather comfort food.

Tea smoked a chicken for a try - don't particularly like it. I'll go back to the Lemon/Rosemary chicken,
