Well, there are a lot of things I could be doing with this next hour or so that I have to spare... And blogging is probably not the most productive choice... But then again, I don't know if I'll have the time to blog again before the shower. So . . . Spring break and plans for the wedding shower continue. It's been a great week. It's going by really quickly. We've been knocking off some projects here and there, and enjoying the rest of the time as a family. The week has been a lot more relaxing than I thought it would be--yay for "keeping it simple"! I'm doing another BBQ. Yeah, I know... I could have been a little more creative with the menu. But I figured with 50 people on the guest list, dainty appetizers could get a little labor intensive. Not to mention--for a "his and hers" shower, I can't imagine the guys getting really excited over finger foods... So, we spent last weekend butt pickin' again... I bought somewhere just over 30 pounds of pork roast and our home was filled with the dreaded stench...er...aroma of pork roast once again. I would have loved to have done it on the grill, but it takes a lot longer and would have been impractical to do the roasts one--or maybe 2--at a time. So, I did them all at once on Sunday when at least I could be gone for half the day. We brined the roasts in the refrigerator overnight Saturday, and after we managed to break the meat drawer, we made a mental note that 30 pounds (4 pork shoulders) each in a 2 gallon bag of brining solution is maximum capacity for our refrigerator. I wish I would have thought to take a picture! ... Oops. Thankfully, many hands make light work, and my family offered to help out: Would you believe that my husband enjoys seasoning pork roasts? (Wish I would have came across that information sooner!) Beth Marie sprinkled the roast with seasoning and Mike rubbed it in--they made an excellent butt rubbin' team:
My freezer is once again full of pork:
...so I hope everyone comes hungry on Saturday... Cause I DON'T want left-overs!
