Another Awesome Samoke

No pics this time. Forgot to charge the camera. Which is too bad, because these were a sight to behold! I'm still excited about it.

I was chosen to cook the meat for our J. Reuben Clark Law Society End Of The Year Picnic And Swim Party Get Together (Can I Come Up With Any More Words To Make This Any Longer Of A Title) Thingy. We were expecting about thirty people, so I fixed an ample supply of ribs. I cooked them in two shifts at six hours per shift, so it was a thoroughly enjoyable two days of samokin' ribs! My most satisfying moment came when it was time to cut them up. The knife went very smoothly in between the bones, slicing the meat as though it were butter. That's when I knew they were good. I made enough to fill a large, deep turkey roaster pan to overflowing! Of course, my taste testers were right there to perform their duties. I got the six thumbs up (they claimed they had to try an ample sampling before they would give the OK).

I did struggle a little with the pork roast, though. The first was a little on the tough side. The roasts heated up faster than normal, which I didn't expect with so much meat. But I got it done, shredded, and mixed in with a nameless-to-avoid-self-incrimination sauce. I then added five fatties, and about 15 roasted mice (see previous entry). The mice were extremely spicy, and only cooled down after four days in the fridge. But they were good, nonetheless.

The JRCLSEOYPASPGT(CICUWAMWTMTALOAT)T participants loooooved them. What they didn't eat there (about half, since only about 15 adults actually showed up), we split up and took home. Later reports indicated that they were even better several days hence.

That was, so far, the largest smoke I have done. It was also extremely enjoyable. My special rub added that sweet spice to the natural flavors of smoke and pork (although there were a few reports of some of the ribs being just a little too spicy - I'll work on that). Can't wait to do it again!

Y'know, if I were to get some out of town visitors for the upcoming Memorial Day Weekend, I might could be convinced to stoke it up. I'm just sayin'.
