This is true but I eat it for convenience most of the time. I am not terribly hungry usually (that is one of the things Mr. Grief has done to me) and it's fast in the air popper. Nutritionally, it is a bit carb high, but also has some great dietary fiber, decent fat profile, not so great but some protein (about 3g) plus iron, magnesium, B6 and potassium which are all very friendly to women - esp. the B6.
Today, I am heading to a local store to purchase as many pork butts as I can for G's memorial party. I am worried I won't have enough food so I will probably go way the hell overboard. The store (Schnuck's for those of you in Mo/Il) has them on sale for 99 cents a pound. They also have ham super cheap too so I will buy that as well.
I was going to have my b-i-l do the smoking, but my cousin and a good family friend built a GIANT smoker (it is a thing of beauty - will try and get pics) and are going to do the Q for me. I have already bought a couple of prime briskets (thank you Costco - fucking 3.19 a pound for beautiful meat) and most of the supplies. I changed the venue because I am to 200 people for certain. A good friend of ours is a member at a local gun/fishing club so it will be there; plenty of parking, a kitchen and decent bathrooms. G and I went to several parties there and he always liked it (the clubhouse was built in the 1800s and the property is beautiful).
I don't know why I am sharing all of this - but I am excited for the party G would have loved. I have so many people from out of state (KS, IN, IL, NM, CO, GA, MA) coming. I just want it to be a full on Life Fest!
