Tropical Storm Isaac pork butts

4 pork butts

"salt lick" clone - salt, pepper, garlic, cayenne

On the MAK 2 star 9pm last night. Program the pellet boss for 4 hours on SMOKE then 225F

Early this afternoon add some chicken breasts

Chicken is done

Buffalo chicken dip

My sons preferred method - stuffed inside a chibata roll

The first butt is done, into FTC

a few hours later, ready to pull

pulled and plated with Syracuse salt potatoes

Note that is has been raining horizontally all day, and we had a 30 minute power outage. The UPS I have on the MAK kept it burning the whole time.

That buffalo chicken dip looks fantastic. Is that something you put together? If so, please let us know.

The recipe is on the side of a bottle of Franks Hot sauce.

8oz pkg cream cheese
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1/2 cup hot sauce
1/2 cup bleu cheese crumbles
2 cooked chicken breast (we use the boneless halves)

combine cream cheese and ranch dressing in a mixer until smooth, then add hot sauce.

dice chicken breasts and add to mixer. When combined add bleu cheese.

Heat in a 350F oven for 20 minutes. No more or the mixture will "break" and get all oily.

what you saw was a double batch.

Beautiful color on that poke.

Great color on those butts, where did you get the name "salt lick"? That chicken dip looks amazing, sometimes those bottle label recipes are on point

Got power??

 

[FLBentRider]

Got power??

Yup - power, internet, etc.

Most of the non-arterial roads are at least partially under water. And some of the arterial ones.

Most of our area is closed - schools, my office, etc.

WOW, that is a lot of water!! Does all that water invite different critters (thinking snakes and gators) into your yard? Be careful and be safe.

I have never seen any gators in our yard, but we are several lots (about 1/4 mile) from the canals.

snakes on the other hand, we have, I have not seen any poisonous ones in a while, we have a dog that does not like snakes. So far the score is dog 3, snakes 0.

 

[muebe]

Wow!

Glad there was no major damage...
