Granny's gone and done it again

Now I know why it is called the butt. I see the padding. It's been smoking for 10 1/2 hours now.

Ma will return when we can get her computer running again. It did an update and in the process lost her password. Microsoft ought to pay to have it fixed. They broke it.

We think of butt as the back part. Yet if you butt someone, you do it with your head, correct? As a head butt..

The term "Boston butt" comes from the practice of New England butchers packing pork shoulder into large barrels called "butts" for storage and transportation. The name "butt" stuck even after the practice of barrel packing was discontinued.

I believe wine is also stored in butts. I don't know why they are called that, though.

Language is weird.

350 years ago you could call an English woman a wench and she would feel complemented. Don't think I'll be calling one that today or tomorrow...

That one is just shaped sort of like a butt with a layer of padding to sit on.

The smoker is still idling along at 228° now. Going to take it up and 10:00 and check the internal temp. If 170° or less It's going in the oven at 170° until we wake up in the morning.
