Husband is back on cooking duty with this one. Meat and potatoes, couldn’t you tell?! We had missed out on getting the pork butt at the farmer’s market for a few weeks since the pork vendor was sold out, but we managed to score one this week. Husband rubbed the butt (HURRR) with his own blend of paprika, maple sugar, toasted onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. The rub isn’t all local, but it’s the smallest part of the meal, so we’ll allow it. The pork butt went into the smoker for six hours at which point, we deemed it done. On the back of the plate is a summer favorite around here, a grilled peach with blue cheese, then potatoes, and red cabbage cooked in balsamic vinegar (on the grill in tin foil). Pretty easy, and all cooked outside, keeping the house cool!
