Cuban Fried Pork Butt, grilled, thick cut, sweet potatoes w/ a balsamic glaze served with garlic tomatoes and okra. Pork Butt chunks and Mojo marinade ingredients including a fresh made Mojo paste. Ready for an 8 hour refrigerator marinate. The rest of the ingredients. Grilled Sweet Potatos. Thick cut on Cassiopeia at 375* direct. Total cook time about 75 minutes. Fried Cuban Pork Chunks and fried onions. Grilled Sweet Potato chips with a balsamic glaze served with garlic tomatoes and okra.

Timing started a little off but I tweaked it so everything was done at the same time. Going to do this one again. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
tinyfish Posted January 29, 2016 Report Posted January 29, 2016 And who said rain was a bad thing...another fine meal Charles.
Rak Posted January 29, 2016 Report Posted January 29, 2016 That is a delicious looking meal, I especially like the Okra side dish!
ckreef Posted January 29, 2016 Author Report Posted January 29, 2016 And who said rain was a bad thing...another fine meal Charles.Unfortunately 2 days of rain this week means I'm definitely working Saturday and maybe Sunday to make up for it and it's supposed to be sunny in the mid 60's this weekend. I would have rather eaten a crappy meal and worked then gone riding the motorcycle this weekend. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

MacKenzie Posted January 29, 2016 Report Posted January 29, 2016 A very tasty looking dinner, ck. At least your storms run away, we have one coming this afternoon and it won't be running any place but it will be blowing every place. All schools cancelled for the day.

At least your storms run away, we have one coming this afternoon and it won't be running any place but it will be blowing every place. All schools cancelled for the day.The cold northern winds tends to blow a storm past us fairly quickly. The tail end usually sucks warm air up from the Gulf of Mexico so we get a cold storm followed by a few warm sunny days. If we get a 1/4" of snow they would shut the schools down. I'm sure it takes a lot more than that to close schools where you live. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
