am i doing something right?

(1/1)

Nate:
so last weekend, I made a small pork butt for some really good friends that lives around the corner from me.  they were both in the army (female was an E-6/12years and the male was an E-8/retired). 

well last night, I was offered money to do up some pork butt for them again.  I said that I would take what ever the meat cost but I would not take anymore.

in saying all of that, I guess I am getting this smoking thing down pretty darn good?  what do yah all think?

Feels good huh? I've been asked to cook for hire too, and it's sure vindication that you're doing something right. Wish I had a bigger smoker! And more time! Way to go, keep it up... And may your smoke be thin and blue!

Nate,

Not too far from reality, you opening a real Nate's cookin' corner. I'd come for darned sure! So just today, I went over to a nearby artsy-fartsy farmers market sort of place to score some seasoned olive oil. Well there in the corner of the building is a new barbeque place. The guy doing the cooking outside notices me sniffing and yells out, "Smells good doesn't it." To which I responded with a north/south head shutter. After the olive oil thing, I march over and notice a pic of a young Marine. I compare the facial features with the guy behind the counter. I figure this is the same guy, a few decades removed.

"Marine eh?" I queried. He says yep, you? I said Army and before he gets finished saying whatever he was conjuring up, I say in a very loud voice, "I pulled more Marines out of a jam than most of you jar heads can count so save it sarge, and get me something to eat!"

That got a good laugh and he and his wife fixed me up with like $50 worth of pork, brisket, smoked eggs, coleslaw, beans, and who knows what.
I was right, retired Marine NCO! I thought of you, Nate...Could be you...

KensAuto:
Dang that looks good Mr Nate.

Most of the people I know would pay me to NOT cook for them. :-[
