Mother's Day Smoke

[oakville smoker]

Its almost here. Mother's Day.
Every year I have the same conversation with my girlfriend that she is not my mother or the mother of my kids.
But there seems to be a sense of entitlement here that requires fulfillment.  I am somebody's mother and its Mothers Day !

So who is doing what for dear old Mom?  Surrogate or whatever.  I am thinking a big honkin yard bird, brine for a couple of days,
add a touch of cure as I did with the turkey back at Easter, inject with Cajun butter, wrap in bacon and smoke away.  Serve with
some twice baked taters ( she says a day without taters is like a day without sunshine ) and crank out some apple themed dessert
as that is her favorite

That sounds wonderful.  Hope she is pleased.

I've been called a mother, or something like that, but they never cooked for me.   ???

Sounds like you'll have plenty of company and a lot of food OU.  I made the bacon wrapped green bean bundles for the first time last week and they just vanished.  Make plenty.

My #1 daughter and SIL are coming over to cook this weekend, probably Mexican.  All I have to do is supply the beverages.  But I'll probably also do some salsa that was posted here recently with the smoked veggies.  Fortunately, there will only be 4-5 of us.

Have a good time and congrats to Taby.
