I’m in quite a way. \u00a0The wife has left for parts unknown, leaving me to fend for myself. \u00a0I think I started slipping into a somewhat feral state mere hours after her flight took off. \u00a0I’ve been huddled at home on the couch for three days now, subsisting on fried egg sandwiches and a bag of stale corn chips I found in the back of the pantry. \u00a0I’m down to my last dozen eggs too, things are looking grim indeed.<\/p>\n
Honestly, that describes my weekend for the most part. \u00a0Sunday a friend took pity and invited me down to cook, always a good diversion. \u00a0He’s got a large gas grill, so we set it up for indirect cooking as best we could, threw a box of chips on it, and commenced to pseudo-smoking some pork butts. \u00a0Honestly it did a pretty fair job. \u00a0I will say I prefer a bit more smoke in my ‘que, but it was certainly an interesting experiment. \u00a0We were shooting for a batch of chile verde, so I roasted some veggies on my Weber before heading down there, and that lent a bit more smoke to the dish too. \u00a0If nothing else, the propane burners provided a much more low-maintenance day of cooking.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
