Mostly feast - today anyway.
Started out mesquite smoking a half bushel of fresh red bell peppers for the annual soup event in March We'll slice them up and freeze them. While they were working we started on a batch of Jeff's shrimp stuffed jalapeño poppers. I told my wife about a tip Jeff shared which was to file down the edges of an old spoon to use in cleaning the seeds and membrane of the jalapeños. I received the same look every husband gets when he has said something about a shortcut she's already figured out long ago. She opened the silverware drawer and handed me a grapefruit spoon. Ah, the price of being married to a culinary instructor....
Anyway, while the poppers are cooking, I've got two pork loins staging. One has an Asian rub the other has a Memphis style BBQ rub. I'll put them in after the poppers have worked for about 90 minutes. I'm using a mixture of pecan and apple for the poppers and the loins.
When I put in the pork loins I'm also going to add a 50/50 mixture of fresh apple cider and water to the pan.
I'll post more pics when it's all done.
