My Hurricane Irene Preparedness Plan

It's been awhile for many things... Blog post, pulled pork and an approaching hurricane. My last big hurricane preparedness plan was Red Lobster next to Kendall Toyota, 19 years ago (plus a couple of days).

8.5 pound Boston Butt, rub put on yesterday at 6pm and started smoking today at 8am @250°. I expect it to be @200° between 5 & 6pm tonight.



Smoking with Apple Wood.



For those of you that don't know, my birthday comes along in a little over a month. If you are looking for ideas (and who isn't??) here is one: Get a gift for Slash

Remember, Lowe's gives a 10% Veterans discount, every day, all day.... but ONLY with a valid VA issued photo ID (which leaves me out since the VA denied me health benefits recently and therefore, the ID card), see here for details: Lowe's Veterans 10% Discount news release

Jus' sayin'





Seriously, everyone in the impending path of the hurricane, be safe and take your preparedness very seriously. We know what its like to go thru a real hurricane,and this certainly is stacking up to be a real bad-ass hurricane and with that comes the inherent dangers. Be safe!

Update @7:30pm: The meat has been pulled...

Teriyaki Marinated Chicken



Indirect med-high heat for 40 minutes.

Since it's boob meat, check for 170° internal temperature and clear juices.



Tonight there will be beef. And Bacon. And maybe even corn.

A weekend of grilling with meat and not-meat

I, Slash, grilled not-meat stuff....
Monster garden Zucchini planks
with a nice not-meat rub


Corn on the Cob
grilled with our garden fresh parsley butter



And I also grilled/BBQ's real food, too....


Beer Can Chicken
with fresh Rosemary from our garden





JD's Pork Loin



Seven pounds consumed 
(we had company over!)


Top Sirloins with Roasted Garlic Butter
on bone, of course.





Who knew that the not-meat stuff would be really, really good. Yeah, I was surprised, too. For full disclosure though, in my opinion, the meat was still better.

This was absolutely killer good. The whole family loved it. I can't wait for the next sale on Pork Loin.

And in the evening, I'm making Waffles!



My family-wide famous Vanilla Waffles aren't just for breakfast.

We're having them for dinner tonight. I mix in chocolate chips in the kids ones.


Wife's way to eat them.
