I threw together this quick pasta dish for our second anniversary tonight, and it sort of reminds me of Julie- beautiful to look at, and then filled with such rich gooey warmth it just made me glad that I was smart enough to order such a great dish.

Uh, something like that. I'm not exactly good with the mushy stuff, but I've got the most perfect wife I could have ever wished for.

Julie has some family in town that had never been to the Grand Canyon, and because it's our anniversary tomorrow I tagged along. I've been there before, but it's still an absolute thrill to look at something that vast and awe inspiring.

Back home today, and headed to bed early.

Served with a smoked shallot and asparagus orzo.

Too busy to write a detailed post, and I think it'll be more fun if I just answer any questions you have about it in the comments. Anyone?

I hope you're all having a good weekend. I haven't posted a Funny lately, so here's one from Jerry that really cracked me up.

Have a great weekend!

Working on it!!

UPDATE 6/13: Still not fixed on the main page, if you want to comment use the Archives to select this month, then you can comment on the post. I've got this thing just about done, but I found the bug this morning, not sure when I'll get around to fixing it. Sorry!

UPDATE 6/13: Fixed? Try commenting on the main page, if it doesn't work try commenting through the archives. I think it was just a case of server burp this morning...

Pecan Smoked Pork Shoulders

About 6 hours in my smoker with pecan wood only, after one load of charcoal to get things going. They got another 3 or 4 hours in a low oven after that.

We served this with an ancho pasilla cream sauce to our guests as part of my birthday bash. More stuff to come!

I'm utterly amazed.

P.S. You know what makes a great birthday present? Survival Spice®!!!
