OK, all this talk about Carolina BBQ sauce, cole slaw, and hoo-hahs

[Moondog]

(can't forget the hoo-hahs) has made me hungry for some eats. Later this afternoon I'm off to the grocery store (terra incognita for me most of the time, and a scary proposition all of the time) for some pork and rub ingredients.

Going to fire up the smoker, do a couple of Boston Butts low and slow, and have some pulled pork (no jokes, please) tomorrow. Hmmm. Have to invite some people over to eat it. Maybe I can prevail upon them to bring sides .....

[Tuesday Afternoon]

1. don't forget the buns.............

:yoiks:

[Moondog]

5. Aw, dammit!

I forgot the buns! Son of a bitch. Good thing the grocery is only a mile away ....

2. And everyone's gonna watch Caligula, Director's Cut

:P

[HopeHoops]

4. That's one weird fucking movie.

"What's the password"

"Scrotum"

[Moondog]

8. There's a pair of ladies

who live next door who I'll probably invite over, among other folks. One of them runs a catering company. They are a couple, describe themselves as "lipstick lesbians", and since they're my friends and really not into the whole Caligula genre, I'll probably give that one a pass, and wait for some other occasion to run the racy hetero semi-porn. Besides, there will probably be a couple of guys there that haven't met these ladies, and watching the interaction will probably be amusing all by itself.

16. I was kidding about that movie as a serious suggestion anyway,

what with all the inuendo flying around here lately ;)

Maybe record some of the eps of Coupling on BBC instead :D

[Soylent Brice]

10. just added that to my netflix. thank you.

i haven't seen that movie in almost 10 years.

it's amazing what your mind deletes to make room for other bullshit.

[kentauros]

15. I haven't seen it in a lot longer than that!

I saw the R-rated version when it came out. The only seats left were in the front row. That certainly made it an even weirder movie-watching experience ;)

3. Okay, what is a hoo-hah (in terms of food, I mean)?

Never heard of that except being used to describe something else ...

[Moondog]

6. Well ...

it all began here - http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x9035513

7. Okay ... I saw that thread earlier but didn't see the explanation of it meaning "on the fly."

Thanks. :hi:

[Moondog]

9. Well, back to the grocery ....

[Moondog]

11. Got the buns.

This has already been a large PIA. I sure hope I'm in the mood for pulled pork tomorrow.

x(

[kentauros]

14. "PIA"?

As in, Zadora? ;)

Relax and enjoy it. You'll do all right :)

[Tuesday Afternoon]

17. you have to post your recipe for coleslaw ...

have fun. :toast:

[Moondog]

18. My recipe for cole slaw?

Lady, you give me far too much credit. I'm using yours!

:think:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

19. it was the easiest one posted...

:D

got beer?

[Moondog]

20. Not yet. But I will.

What is pulled pork without beer? It would be uncivilized!

[kentauros]

21. Ah, just gimme the beer.

That beats meat any day, unless you're using a meat-analogue

[Moondog]

23. Cheers!

I'm not much of a cook. Which is a shame because I have a pretty well developed palate. So this probably won't be vegetarian / vegan friendly. Except for sides, and whatever else other folks bring. Plenty of beer, however, should remove some of the sting.

:toast:

[kentauros]

26. If you follow the recipes, you usually can't go wrong.

Cooking is like being a chemist. Things usually work out. The main thing is getting the spices just right. Do that, and people won't notice if the meat is a little under- or overdone ;)

If you like to read and/or collect cookbooks and related books, I recommend "The Complete Book of Spices: A Practical Guide to Spices and Aromatic Seeds" by Jill Norman. Plenty of info on using spices as well as spice blends from around the world :D

[Tuesday Afternoon]

22. it would be uncouth!

cheers :beer:

[Moondog]

24. Back atcha!

Cheers! :beer:
