You rock! Everything’s looking great! Pics are good enough to taste 👊🏼
 
Ok...here we go. Turned out really good. It's weird because my mind is telling me Italian beef, while my mouth tell me pork. Flavors were on point, kids approved and went back for seconds. Made a jalapeño popper dip to compliment the fries. I'm stuffed and ready for a shower and some bourbon.

Alright, 4.5 hours in, temping at 155ish, gonna let it roll to about 165 before getting it in the pan with the liquids. In the meantime, have the dough made and formed for the hoagie rolls, proofing as we speak. Now that its officially afternoon in WI, time for a cocktail....Brandy Old Fashioned Sour. 😀

The wife and I try to make the majority of stuff we eat and feed to the kids. The less processed store-bought crap, the better....

"Anything worth doing is worth doing right."

As for the cocktail, its a Wisconsin-style brandy old fashioned sour.
-
Add a sugar cube and a few dashes of angostura bitters to a glass and muddle.

Add a maraschino cherry, 2 bar spoons of the cherry syrup, and an orange wedge. Muddle but be sure not to muddle the orange's rind otherwise it'll be bitter.

Fill the glass with ice and add 2 ounces brandy. Top with a sour soda...I prefer Jolly Good Sour Power. Squirt is fine if that's all you can find.

Garnish with a spear of a few cherries. I prefer Luxardos.

Enjoy. They're addicting.
 
WOW that all looks so good! best looking sami ive seen in a while! Great work!
