This. Except with 120 Instagram photos.
Great way to display lots of pictures cleanly
It tends to look cluttered without a frame

North Carolina Slow Cookin

Barbecue season is just about over, but there is still time for one last shot.

By now, me and the fam have exhausted most forms of barbecue. There have been way too many burgers, brats, and chicken burgers. We have even had some delicious ribs and steaks. But at some point, you gotta get a good pork roast going. It is heavenly, but the slow cooking nature might take some time.

It is real simple though. Light up the grill, and throw the pig butt on indirect heat, keeping the grill at 300 degrees. Let it steep in smokey goodness for 4-6 hours. It usually takes about 2 hours for each pound of meat. Or until the temperature of the butt is 195 degree.

Photo: 6 hours on the grill... pork ready to chop for N. Carolina style BBQ at the neighborhood party tomorrow. Nice job Greg!
Before we began the pork pull.

Your end result will look delicious, and make your house smell irresistible!
 
When the meat is doen to perfection, a slight "pull" with you fingers, and it comes fallin off.
Hence pulled pork. num. Stick it on a bun with some red bbq sauce and you have yourself a meal.

South Carolina style requires a heaping of coleslaw in the sandwich

 

But of you want to get real East Carolina style, you must use their famous spicy vinegar sauce.

Much like the recipe I made this weekend, but I used hot sauce and red pepper flakes
 instead of cayenne and there was no mustard in the recipe.

Perfectly Timed Photographs

Photography is such an art, but occasionally, it is pure luck. 

With all the new point and shoot cameras out there now though, some of us just get real lucky. Here are some seriously picture perfect photos that I found while stumbling around all things good on the internet @ http://www.stumbleupon.com

TGIF!

Thank the Lord it is Friday.
As the first day of school optimism fads, I realize how "on" you have to be every single moment when your teaching. Which can be very exhausting.

Here is my high five for Friday for the week.

1. I am Moving!
Gahh! finally, after the many blog posts about moving, it is starting to become a reality. My life is in boxes, and  I only have one more day in my parents house.

2,3&4. BBQ Mania
Yum. I love labor day.

~ I had a young adult bbq, with a real smokey grill, and plenty of lawn games

~ During lunch break, all the social studies teachers brought out a grill in the commons, and chowed down.

~ The rents had their own cookout, and since parents equal money. we had amazing ribs, chicken, desserts, appetizers, salads, and drinks.

5. My Students 
Over the past week, at least five students have told me that I am their favorite teacher, and I have their favorite class. Heck yes. Plus the stylin high schoolers who love my outfits. You know your doing good when   high school girls compliment you.
