Recipe: A series of step-by-step instructions for preparing ingredients you forgot to buy, in utensils you don't own, to make a dish the dog wouldn't eat. ~Author Unknown
I've been sitting on the driveway all week long, day and night, waiting. For what??? I'm waiting for the shipment of MY BOOK. Many, many books. The thing about sitting on the driveway is that you notice the extreme temperatures this time of year in Atlanta. Sweating one minute, chilly the next. Then there are the bugs. If their is a mosquito within 700 miles of me he will find me. (that's cuz I'm so sweet righ?.Or maybe the fact that they love Oscar de la Renta parfum). You get to see lots of neighbors passing by. They stop and say Hi and their dogs visit my lawn (swell)., At any rate I decided to cook a pork butt and make some barbeque because my Son In Love in coming in this weekend. So I put the butt on the grill. Then I went back to my driveway sitting. I got distracted and didn't want to leave my post because I knew Mr. UPS would arrive around 5pm. I was cookin the BUTT low and slow (this is the South people). This was the result...I believe there was a bit of a flare up on the grill. HOLEY OVER COOKED BUTT!
Debbie came by and was showing me this quilt. So stinkin cute.I showed her my butt. She laughed so hard she was cryin. She told me that maybe I could make one of these quilts one day. I told her that would never happen if I keep serving burned pork REAR END! It is now 9 am...I have lit the grill AGAIN, and now I'm cooking the Son In Love some wings, and it is back to the driveway,neosporin on all my insect bites and I've got a long extension cord and my featherweight hooked up out there. Its going to be a lovely day!

I've got a life-sized picture of you out there at the end of the driveway with your featherweight at the end of a long, heavy-duty orange extension cord - HAHAHAHA!!!! Too funny!
My DH said that's just bark... chop the butt up and it will all blend. LOL
Do you have a Green Egg? Highly recommended for low and slow cooking.
Saw your book at Little Quilts. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Will miss your signing this weekend. I'm in the neighborhood of GBTB... got to pay the balance of my registration fee for Paradise Retreat in January! WeeHee!!!
How very funny!! (We lived in Athens, GA for 18 years, so I know what you mean about sweating one minute and chilly the next. Also the bugs! Hated the No-see-ums"!) Sorry about your first attempt with the pork butt. That is frustrating! I am a master of the crock pot and leave the grill and smoker to my husband, who doesn't forget it halfway through the cooking!
Nothing like a burt butt!!!
Yeah that does look a bit over cooked..lol It happens to the best of us!
Your poor butt.
Oops! Our works canteen lady used to say "if it's brown it's done, if it's black it's b*ggered":D
You are just tooo funny!!! hope your books come soon!
Lol, I love your humor...thanks!
Mr. UPS will ring the door bell! And he better hurry because I am waiting on my copy of your book! Happy quilting!
Oh yea....just a tad too well done!! I hope your books get there so you can get out of the driveway!!
Photo please. I want to see you quilting in the driveway. lol You are hilarious! Sorry about your rear end. Consolation though, don't they call those "burnt ends"? There's a joint on St Simons that sells it for a lot of money to northeners... How far are you from the interstae? Just a thought.
P.S.
CUTE quilt!!!~
I was thinking, you might have spawned a new idea for a "block party". :)
Everyone sitting outside quilting. Hey, we wait SOOO long for nice weather down here, time to enjoy it!
You and I must have the same blood running through our veins, the bugs love me too. On Cumberland Island, we had ticks and I'm so glad to not live there full time anymore. whew!~ enough already. Our renters are still in the honeymoon phase I think. lol
You are a hoot Pat!
Well at least you got some else to serve up to your son-in-love.
