    I had cold slaw, a vinegar sauce (thanks SoFlaQuer), a ketchup based sauce, potato salad, smoked brats (not homemade... but smoked home of course), lots of beer, and wine. we also had chips, apples and fresh vegi's to keep everyone happy while food was cooking.

    May 13th... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

    I think the shoulder is coming out great! its at around 128F and pretty much stuck there sence a bit ago... it seems to have plateaued more than once. Its such a hot day out here in New Orleans, so I have to be in and out. I can't watch it the whole time (or I'll be a piece of charcoal myself)...
