Time to make the donuts!

It's 4:47am....headed to the Joint to start prep for lunch - beans, potato salad, slaw, pies, chickens, ribs. Then my weekly admin work for my P&L. Welcome to the restaurant business.

whole hog

this past winter we quit cooking whole hogs on our pit (which is smack dab in the middle of the Joint) because it was too cold.  Actually the temp wasnt really the reason, we had to winterize our patio and in doing so if we cooked hogs the smoke had nowhere to go.  So its 78* today with a low of 52* tonight and that means the pit is coming out of hibernation.  Got a 197# hog going on tomorrow and it will be done about 3-4 on saturday afternoon.  Ill try to get some pics posted.  Its good to be back writing on the ol' blog again!
