Believe it or not Team Sergeant, Miracle Whip gives the cole slaw a better taste than mayo. I've tried both. (But I would only use mayo in potato salad!)

I ran the smoker yesterday. Made some collards too.

The pork shoulder was brined for 36 hours, then coated with dry rub. Went on the smoker at 5:45 am, came off more than 12 hours later with an internal temperature of 205. I wrapped it in foil after 5 hours.

The chickens were stuffed with slices of lemon and orange. Two of them also got parsley, rosemary and thyme inside. Different dry rubs on all three chickens. They were on about 3.5 hours, came off with internal temperature of 165 in the breast, 180 in the thigh.

By the time the food was ready, I was too impaired to remember how great it was.

Miracle Whip:
water, soybean oil, vinegar, high fructose corn syrup, sugar, modified corn starch, and dried eggs


Real Mayo:
SOYBEAN OIL, WATER, WHOLE EGGS AND EGG YOLKS, VINEGAR, SALT, SUGAR, LEMON JUICE, CALCIUM DISODIUM EDTA (USED TO PROTECT QUALITY), NATURAL FLAVORS.

Difference, no sugar, real eggs. Sorry Charlie, I'll use real or make my own.... And to be fair my mother raised me on Miracle Whip, now she asks me for recipe ideas........

Question Brining?

RL,

What did you brine your pork shoulder in and did you brine the chicken also?

HH6 was sick so, I cooked her an egg white, parmesan cheese, crabmeat and spinach omelet.

I brined the pork shoulder in a Myron Mixon pork injection. Used his rub and vinegar sauce too. I can post the recipes later if people want them.

Chickens were not brined. I use lemon and orange inside the cavities to keep the meat moist.

I would've been spitting all over my computer screen!

BTW...I use chicken or pork stock to cook the greens in and good copy on the injection guys.

I made my own pork stock with ham hocks and onion, and used it with chicken broth. I'm telling you, Guy, I am Sammy Davis Jr. in reverse.

I slow cook the ham hocks, onions, chicken broth, with a can of ginger-ale & coke/pepsi for at least seven (7) hours in a six (6) quart crockpot.

Remove everything, let the liquid cool down and skim the fat off. I don't use much salt since a lot of family members have high blood pressure. Instead of salt, I use vinegar and hot spices.

When the wife makes collards, she uses chicken stock and and a ham hock; delicious, but I definitely wanna try this...

Chicken cordon bleu tonight.
Pound 'em flat, coat with softened butter, add thyme, swiss and a slice of ham, roll 'em up. Roll 2 strips of bacon around it, secure with toothpick.
Dunk in egg/milk, coat with flour. Dunk again and coat with breadcrumbs/garlic salt/oregano/shredded parm.
Bake until done.
Rosemary potatoes and green beans.
