Tullybird Part II

What a wonderful feast we had Tuesday night. The pork was outta this world, and Tullybird made it along with Todd every step of the way!

Here they are, with Tullybird rubbing Todd's butt.

Rubbing it good

Pork butt, that is. She learned the importance of dry rubbing, and getting the spices in all the crevices and letting it chill overnight in it's happy spice jacket.

Tullybird learned to shred the beef. You don't slice it, or cut it. Gotta sort of pull it apart. She did great. That dark bark was soooo tasty (because of the wonderful butt rubbing).

Yay, it's dinner time!

And now for the drink of the evening. Oh. My. You guys have to try this. PB&J vodka with grape juice and sprite. Divine. It only took us 8 hrs to drink the entire bottle. It was so yummy. It was gone before I knew it.

Speaking of yummy. We had a cupcake at midnight. What do you get when a leprechaun and a cupcake get together? This wonderfully scrumptious delight.  I remembered a cake I used to make, and decided to make it again only as cupcakes.

Just mix a white cake mix by the directions and if it calls for liquid, use a little less.  If it doesn't call for liquid,that is OK. Add some creme de menthe, the green kind. Bake/cool them. Spread on some hot fudge topping (which is cold). Then fold some creme de menthe into some cool whip, and use to top the cupcakes. So good you gotta try it.


Wednesday evening included using the pork in enchiladas. And consuming pomegranate martinis. Oh yes it did.  I don't have any pictures from last night--it was pretty low key.  We must be gearing up for tonight.  When we celebrate Tullybirds BIRTHDAY! 

Happy Birthday to her!
