Pork, Brats, Chuckies & Chevrolet

[Jim Lampe]

the other day (I lose track- very busy, blurry week) fired up the Weber grill

about a 2lb hunka pork loin brined for 8 hours, then seasoned with Penzey's Arizona Dreaming

with apple wood for smoke, on at 350 degrees indirect until 145ºF inside

rested, sliced.....

...then served with garden fresh peppers & onions with melted gouda cheese atop
(those beans were also for our garden)

the BEST pork loin I've had in YEARS!
the next day was BRAT DAY so we grilled up some from Jacob's Meat Market in Appleton WI

also a few cobs of corn

served the brats with sautéed onions, garlic pickles & carrots then all peppered up.
the corn was mayo'd and dusted with red pepper flakes.

I agree jims truck looks very nice......i went with a 2013 f-150 and its a sweet ride , brother. You wouldn't go wrong.

 

[James Payne]

Can I trade a truck for some of that pork loin?! Looks great!

 

[Jim McKelvey]

Looks great Jim! The truck and the cook! I can't recall the last time I've had a "new" new car. Yours looks likes it's in great condition!!! One of my favorite songs by Springsteen was "Used Car" cause we always had a pretty beat up used vehicle - even had one that wouldn't go in reverse for a while. Nieghbors used to give my dad a hard time - but he was spending all his $ on his family...not cars.

Now the neighbors come from near and far
As we pull up in our brand new used car
I wish he'd just hit the gas and let out a cry
and tell 'em all they can kiss our asses goodbye

Love the truck and the cooks. I've bought my last couple of trucks 2nd hand. Save a ton of money and still low mileage. My last "new" used truck I bought in 2006, it was a 2005 and its still going strong without the first hiccup.
