Christmas Dinner Comes Early This Year and A Holiday Barbecue, because why not!
very year (normal year anyway) we have Christmas with The Picky Eater's family the weekend before Christmas. Usually everyone comes down to our house, they're from Kentucky - not that we should hold that against them - and we celebrate with snacks, and dips, and other things that are easily transported from KY to here. This year that changed for reasons that I am still not completely clear on. All I know is that The Picky Eater announced, as I was doing dishes no less, that it had been discussed and I would be smoking a pork shoulder, and we were going to be celebrating the birth of our Lord 4th of July style.
So, Christmas-In-July-In-December or something like that.
Pulled Pork Barbecue
It's summer and I live in the south. Something is going to get smoked. When you have a big backyard full of people to feed, it’s hard to beat pulled pork that’s been smoked until it’s fall-apart tender. It does take a little time (okay A LOT of time) - it’s not hard to make but does take some patience. The great thing about pulled pork is you can serve it as a plate, or grab a bun and some cole slaw and it's pulled pork sandwiches for everyone!
