Kyle recently purchased a Traeger wood pellet smoker and decided to grill a pork shoulder and vegetables this afternoon. He shared this photo with the family. I have several things to say about this. (1) Kyle is definitely his mother’s son and I am sure she is thrilled to see him developing skills as a cook (a statement that applies equally to his siblings). (2) If he sends this photo to my brother, he can expect to spend an hour on the phone learning all the finer points of smoking meat. (3) It is possible his family will heretofore refer to him as Meat Boy, since this was the label used on the iPhone app he uses to monitor the status of the smoker. (4) This seems like a lot of food for one person so I am guessing the meal may have been prepared for the benefit of a date. (5) I am free for lunch tomorrow as I understand there are plenty of leftovers.
