About 80 people, lots of wonderful food. I did five pounds of pulled smoked pork and have maybe a few ounces left. Treats for the dogs tomorrow.
I have a Trager smoker and from time to time, I will get a pork shoulder and a beef brisket from the Costco business center (they do restaurant supply - really high quality) in Lynwood, brine it, smoke it and then portion it out and cryovac it. A couple days ago, I pulled about five pounds out of the freezer and slow cooked it today for eight hours in some good apple cider.
Came out nice and tasty - no additional seasonings needed. When I have more time, I will make four BBQ sauces - Earth, Fire, Air and Water - regular tomato molasses, regular with a lot of hot peppers, a Carolina vinegar sauce and a Pennsylvania Dutch mustard sauce. I also do a big batch of coleslaw but that takes three days to prep and I had other things to take care of. Next time.
Surf for a bit and see if I can get enough things done tomorrow to make it up to the farm - may stay here tomorrow evening too. Definitely Friday for a couple of days.
