It was time to get my new smoker going, and since I had bourbon wood chips, I also used bourbon in the pork brine, thus the "double shot" of bourbon.

Brine
1/4 cup bourbon
1 1/2 cups coke
2 limes, juiced
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup salt
1 small pork roast

Combine all brine ingredients (except pork) with a whisk til salt and sugar are dissolved. Add to a large Ziploc bag along with the pork.

Brine pork for at least 24 hours, and up to 48, turning occasionally.

Prepare pork as directed in smoker's instruction manual.

Served with fried potatoes. Yummay!

Auntie Shels Nov 3, 2007, 8:12pm EDT
Yum! I had some leftover chicken so I threw together some chicken & rice, New Mexico style
☀ Aunt Shanny Nov 3, 2007, 8:15pm EDT
Thank you, Lar!

Hey!!!! I am eating Mexican all next week, Matt's gonna be gone. I'll eat all the stuff he usually doesn't care for so much.
Rob Appell Nov 3, 2007, 8:17pm EDT
WOOOOOO!!! Sounds like a party waiting to happen! I'm in! Smokin' and double shots! Two shots for the roast...two for me...two for you. Two more for the roast and a couple more for each of us. That's enough for the roast...more for us! I can't wait to see what you're making for dessert!
☀ Aunt Shanny Nov 3, 2007, 8:19pm EDT
I thought you might like this one, Rob. I MIGHT even let you put some Heinz on the tades.
Denise B. Nov 3, 2007, 8:20pm EDT
looks good
Rob Appell Nov 3, 2007, 8:24pm EDT
Who needs Heinz on the taters when you can soak 'em in bourbon sauce instead

It all looks good, but fried potatoes are one of my favorites...mmmm! You'd never guess what I'm eating for "dinner." Edamame...I bought these micro bowls of it in the pod at Sams today, and I've never tried it before. It is good. We brought pie home from lunch and we are having that, so we didn't really want dinner.
Auntie Shels Nov 3, 2007, 8:45pm EDT
Yes, drunken tades, Rob!
Rob Appell Nov 3, 2007, 8:52pm EDT
Shell's in for some...better whip up a double batch of spuds, mama! Have another snort with us!
Rob Appell Nov 3, 2007, 8:54pm EDT
Oh, by the way...I figured out what the "S." in Sue's name is. It doesn't stand for her last name. It's Sue Serious, too serious. Lighten up, lady...and party with us. Somebody get that gal a cocktail!
☀ Aunt Shanny Nov 3, 2007, 9:57pm EDT
Thanks, Denise.

Oh yes, bourbon sauce would be MUCH better on the tades than yucky ketchup!

Extra spuds coming up! Plenty for Sue too! And an extra cocktail...
Dani B. Nov 3, 2007, 10:02pm EDT
