Weekend at the Lake

It is Labor Day weekend but feels pretty much like a normal weekend. My school district is not off on Monday, so it is just a two day weekend here. Even so, I am enjoying some restful puttering.

Carne Guisada is in the crockpot.

I have not tried to make it before, so it will be interesting to see how it turns out.

Terry decided that he was in need of smoke, so he is smoking a pork butt. It is looking good so far, but needs another 8 hours or so...

I think he is trying to make up for his last attempt which was not at his usual level. He tried to shortcut the process, and it just didn't work. We'll see if he can redeem himself!  We are certainly going to have plenty of food...anyone want to come for dinner? Seriously...

I bought a mister which Terry put in the hickory tree on Friday. All the birds love to come for baths a little cool down. I thought the hummingbirds, in particular, might like it, but it seems that they are mainly interested in food. There are swarms of them and we are filling the feeders twice a day!

Happy Labor Day weekend to all! We have food if you are hungry and in the neighborhood...REALLY....
