Picked a 10 pound pork shoulder for a mere $8 last Sunday! Looked recipes up on the internet and decided on this one.
All from scratch ingredients. It was well worth the effort.

Try a Momofuku Bo Ssam pork shoulder sometime. It's a great long time/low effort pork shoulder recipe and my go two party meal for 6-10 people. And the leftover pork shoulder (if any) is only flavored with salt and sugar, so is very adaptable for carnitas or many other next day recipes.

I've had David Chang's Bo Ssam at the original Momofuku Noodle Bar in the East Village nearly 20 years ago...it's where I plagiarized his kimchi fuji apple salad as I sat next to the kitchen watching the chefs. You had to make a reservation in advance to have the Bo Ssam...

We had dan dan noodles at a David Chang Noodle House somewhere in NYC. I think he opened the faster, less expensive Noodle House later. I bought his cookbook, which is great.

Any really good place to get them in the Seattle or preferably the eastside area? I've had them at Doughzone and a couple of other places. Always tasty and I won't be in NYC anytime soon!

Pork shoulders/Boston butts freeze well. You just have to plan ahead and start thawing 2-3 days before you want to cook it.

Made one last month. Absolutely stupedous!:p
 
Bone broth mixed with some homemade chicken broth. Some Chinese pork, pork belly, bok choy and a couple of well marinated eggs. The eggs tasted fantastic but didn't look great, soft boiled of course. Added some Hosion and Sarachia! Great way to use some leftovers!

Caught up with family friends last night, made homemade paella with squid from winter squidding and blackmouth bellies on the cast iron.

Ribs on the smoker! Will finish in the oven if they're not ready! About a 2 hour smoke and about to wrap them! Corn and asparagus as sides!

Will let the ribs rest, wrapped til 6pm. Temp showed they're done, 200ish degrees! We'll see if I'm patient enough to wait!

Turned out perfect! Not quite fall off the bones, which is how I've read is best to do. The bark was fantastic and the corn was the best of the year!

Where do you find decent corn this time of the year? Up here when you peel a bit of the shuck back it looks like an Arkansas dental nightmare.
