Friday afternoon, 3:16pm update

Just got back from Cash & Carry, my new favorite store in the world (thanks Big J et al. for the tip). Costco, do you know about this place? Sure, I can't get a couch or tires here, but no membership fees. And the prices are definitely cheaper

Sounds like a most excellent start to the weekend!

Turns out there's one about 3 miles from my house, up near Portland Meadows. I like that even though they have mostly bulk, it's not all bulk. Like you can buy one can of soup, or a vat of it.

I always take people into the deep freezer- which they keep at 20-40 below, so they can feel what it's like to live in Fairbanks. cheekyassmonkey lasted about 15 seconds in there before scampering out.

That's so fucking creepy. Except for adding in the Fairbanks part, of course. :)

Uh, at 11lbs, and at 1 1/2 to 2 hours per pound, shouldn't you put it in now? Unless, you're going to cook it on high or something.

[littlebluedog]

I do an hour per pound at 220, but I also short-cut that by wrapping in in foil after a few hours and braising it in an oven. Unless you have a water smoker, wrapping it after 4-5 hours helps prevent it from drying out.

[polarbear]

Well, I know people with your grill that just put a pan of water in their smokers and that works for them. -shrug-

[littlebluedog]

Haven't tried that, but I do spritz every couple hours with a mixture of bourbon, apple juice, and water.

Tell you what, give it a try tomorrow and let me know what you think.

Sounds like a good day :)

[littlebluedog]

It was. :)
