Yeah...for real...
I bought an 8 pound pork butt (so hard having grown up with three brothers to be able to say or type pork butt without laughing inside 😂) . . .anyway. . . I bought an 8 pound pork butt to give one more whirl to my tomatillo/pork recipe before the cold and 8+ inches of snow came. I only needed 4 pounds for the recipe, the meat was on sale, and a huge 8 pound chunk, so I got the whole thing and just figured I'd make some other pork butt (hahahahaha) recipe.
So, I did.
Still with me, or have you left for that little known and far less exiting place called Instagram?
Pork.Butt.
Hahahahahahaha!
Anyhoo...it got to be emergency, find-a-recipe-and-make-it-now, time for the second half that I naturally didn't put in the freezer, so this past Sunday before church I did one of my famous recipe searches..."best pork butt recipe" (hahahahahahaha) and found the one through the link above.
Let me tell you what!!
Despite the fact that I thought I read it was a 2 hour cook time after the 1.5 hour sit time...and the recipe actually says a 4 hour cook time...and the fact that it actually took 10 hours...
I AM NOT KIDDING HERE, IT FINISHED AT 11:30P.M.
Despite all of that...
It was and still is ABSOLUTELY delicious.
I even got to use 15 cloves of my home grown garlic.
Honestly, I am more astounded than bragging or anything when I mention such delights as my home grown garlic...for real, I'm astonished that I manage to pull such a thing off, that it works out, that it's in my pantry, and that I did that by throwing some cloves in dirt a year ago...really, for some reason, it's so fun to me!
So, tonight at dinner, Livia takes a bite of the pork butt (hahahahaha) and says something like, "Hmmm, I guess I thought it would be chicken." so I replied, "You mean when I said we were having pork?" "Yeah," she said, "Like it would taste like chicken or something." "Nope, I said, it's pork so it's going to taste like pork."
And at that point, I had to use all my restraint humanly possible so as to ensure a few more bites were had and not say...
"On top of the fact that it's pork, its actually PORK BUTT!"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Um...wow...you still here?

Ok, let's have a pic.

They would have really liked to know mom served up some pork butt back in those days.
