Looking good so far.....I really like TT's and am a BIG fan of the Costco meat & pork offerings. Although, I've never done the whole bag b4 lol. Looking forward to the details and more pics of the finish....Willie

Sliced it up...

















Very tender, moist, a little bitter should mellow out for Sammie's tomorrow.
