pops day
Posted by Sherry on June 18, 2007
Somewhere along Mauri’s fathering years, his kids started calling him Pop. It stuck. So while other dads celebrated Fathers Day yesterday, tonight we celebrated Pops Day. The two local sons and their wives wanted to do a meal at one of their homes, but their pop talked them into coming over to our house because he had a Boston Butt roast in the freezer and deemed this the right time to defrost, rub, marinate, and smoke the life out of it. They showed up around 6 with appetites and a strawberry rhubarb crisp for dessert. Just about that time Mauri was pulling apart the roast for pulled pork sandwiches to die for. There’s nothing they could do to honor their pop more than to enjoy his lovingly smoked meat.
Here we are, appetites satisfied, at least for now.
