For my latest Better Than Leftovers entry, I smoked about 50 pounds of Boston butt roasts the other day. We gave away free pulled pork sandwiches for the fall kickoff of the Dayton Vineyard’s vineyardMEN ministry. We had a great … Continue reading
Yesterday, I did my first “Better Than Leftovers” post. Today, I’m doing the next one, mostly because I used the same beer can chickens to make both dishes. I’ve done stuffed poblano chiles before, which prompted me to do them … Continue reading
