We actually made it to the end of this shit show of a year! I’m honestly a bit surprised…maybe I’m just still waiting for the murder hornets. Or the locusts. Maybe this asshat of a year will produce a swarm of vomit-inducing ticks. That seems about right.
So for our last night of this crazy year, my husband and I have decided to smoke a pork butt:
Doesn’t that looks fabulous?? And fitting…it’s a butt for goodness sake, a butt of meat cooked on our outdoor smoker for almost 24 hours. And the above photo is actually from yesterday — my husband made a dry rub for the meat and it sat in the fridge all rubbed up for a good 12 hours before it went on the smoker last night.
And boy was it yummy! I completely forgot to take a photo of the cooked pork butt (which is just what happens in 2020!), but believe me — it was delicious! And we’ll have tons of leftovers this week!
Happy New Year everyone, let’s hope that 2021 will less challenging and maybe a little bit more “normal”! I’ll settle for a little bit less interesting…
