This morning I asked Vince if he would mind if we have cereal for breakfast. I told him I have to bake the fruit cakes, get the pork butt in the smoker and make gumbo and if I could leave off cooking breakfast, that would be really nice. He said “I’ll cook!” I don’t think he’s ever fixed breakfast (or lunch or dinner). He just isn’t a cook and for the most part, he’d rather have a store bought frozen dinner than cook where I’d walk across hot coals to keep from eating something like that. So, he fixed bacon, eggs and toast and it was wonderful!
Part of what I was wanting was to avoid having the breakfast dishes to clean up and I still had to do that but hey . . I got breakfast that I didn’t have to cook.
Fruit Cakes
The fruit cakes are in the oven. Vince “licked” the bowl. I told him he might not should be operating the chainsaw after consuming that much alcohol. Seriously, it wasn’t that much but before baking, you can definitely taste the brandy.
Seasoned Pork Butt
The pork butt is seasoned and in the smoker. I’ll let it smoke all night and we’ll have that tomorrow for our meal.
I’m taking a break before I start the gumbo but it’s time to get up and start chopping onions, bell peppers, celery and making a roux. Once that’s all simmering, then I can get back to knitting on Nicole’s sweater.
