Nate smoked 10 pounds of pork shoulder this weekend and we are all once again super glad we got him a Traeger grill for Christmas. Going to re-purpose the pork for enchiladas with a red sauce and tacos with pickled onions.
Quick hand surgery update: procedure ended up not happening last week but is instead scheduled for 1/25. So I’m planning to cook a lot this week, then next week getting Hello Fresh for the kids and Nate to cook. Not at all excited about the assessment by the surgeon last week but grateful for professionals who can fix this useless thumb for me.
