Perry used his master Pit Boss skills on a 12 pound pork butt yesterday. While the smoker was warming up, he covered the meat (and my countertop) with Weber’s cowboy rub.
After around 8 hours with applewood smoke, the meat was done and ready for me to tear apart. After covering it with my secret homemade bbq sauce, I popped it in the oven for around 30 minutes.
Next, I called the Pesky neighbors and invited them to eat with us. They were here in 10 seconds flat. Seriously… like sliding in the gravel driveway and jogging to the front door fast. 😉
What came next was predictable.
When bellies are full, some menfolk think it’s nap time. Mr. Pesky, for example, couldn’t hold his eyes open. That’s what happens when you get a belly full of restaurant quality smoked🐷butt.
Now you know: Hummingbirds, with their tiny bodies and high levels of activity, have the highest metabolic rates of any animals — roughly a dozen times that of a pigeon and a hundred times that of an elephant. To maintain those rates, hummers have to consume about their weight in nectar daily.
