HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

   Where there"s smoke there"s BAR-B-QUE! At 8:00am I fired up the coals.I thought I was going to be smart and get a head start on my grilling before the heat got so bad. WRONG!!! For the next 5 hours I proceeded to cook about 100 lbs of pork. I put 4 hind quarters, each in the 20 to 25 lb category, plus the backstraps of two hogs on to grill.

   The good news is it tasted terrific! It was juicy and tender. My Mom made some potatoe salad , baked beans, and cole slaw. We all got our bellies full, and had enough left over to fed all of us for the next few weeks. Maybe by that time I'll be lucky enough to get another hog or two.

   Hope everyone had a happy and safe 4th!
