They came, they saw - grandkids, they went
My parents-in-law breezed into town from Utah for the 4th of July weekend. I had plans to do some major yardwork on that Friday and Saturday, but, instead, I spent those days hanging out for the most part; Friday,preparing my kick-ass pulled pork by liberally appying a sweet and spicy rub and letting it sit overnight, and Saturday, getting the 7-1/2 pounds of Boston Butt out and cooking it.
About that...
I really need to pay attention to recipies. The pulled pork recipe, which was originally written for charcoal grills, had the following steps:
- Rubdown pork
- Let sit overnight
- Take out allow to come up to room temperature
- Preheat grill
- Grill uncovered in a aluminum roasting pan for 3 hours at 275
- Preheat oven
- Bake covered with aluminum foil for 2 hours
- Allow to rest covered in a paper bag for an hour
Guess which step I conviniently forgot? Yep. I forgot that that pig had to spend an additional 2 hours in the oven. This would not have been so bad, except for the fact that we had invited our good friends Alex, Refugiuo and Brad over for dinner. Hurredly we prepared a quick grilled pulled chicken tenderloin recipe alongside the homemade classic and North Carolina barbecue sauces and called it good. The pulled pork, which came out of the paper bag two hours after company left, was a delicious treat for all.

oh Charlie, you know we would have eaten the pork raw with a kind smile and wouldn't have said anything about it. besides, I bet you did it on purpose so you could have it all to yourselves after we left!
was a wonderful dinner and visit in any case—thanks!
