OK, so after the last blog I'm sure everyone is hungry!
Well, this past weekend we had over friends from our church small group for a pulled pork BBQ extravaganza. I finally got the smoker fired up (brought from the U.S.) fired up for the first time in China. I was looking forward all week to going to Metro (previous blog where the boys are standing in front of the hanging pigs) and selecting my cut straight from the animal. When I got there and walking into the refrigerated section, I found that they already had deboned shoulders ready to go. I selected a 15 pounder!
Also, I picked up what I thought was a kielbasa that I was going to pop on the grill with a little sauce. Turns out it was nasty (although some nice people said it was good). I think once you've had kielbasa done right, it's hard to have anything different. I also put a few chickens on the smoker for an alternative to the pork.
People brought home made corn dogs (I must get the recipe), coleslaw, baked beans, an array of side salads, and amazing desserts. I had also brought back a few sauces from the U.S. (Pierce's, Sticky fingers, Trader Joe's - yes, like everything at TJ's it's actually pretty good), so there was something for everyone. Overall, it was a great welcome back!
Sunday night I converted the leftover pork into tamales with some masa I brought back from the U.S. They turned out pretty well, but it took a few hours...
