One thing that is mandatory, when it comes to Mother's day, there has got to be some good food being made. The other thing that seems to becoming mandatory is that I am required to make Smoked Scotch Eggs for the big family Mother's Day Brunch.
This time, instead of having some preseasoned ground pork, all I had was some regular ground pork that my BIL gave me. So I worked with it.
Since the pork wasn't seasoned I rolled the eggs in some rub to begin with.
Then I flattened out a quarter pound of the pork and added the egg.
Meanwhile, got a chimney load going and got the UDS ready with some apple wood.
Once the UDS was blowing blue, the Scotch Eggs got the rub down, and then on they went.
Now, I could have just left it at Scotch Eggs but, I decided to make some Heart Stoppers while I was at it.
While those were finishing up, off came the eggs to get sliced up.
Then it was time to head to brunch!
Yep, they were met with rave reviews and 32 Smoked Scotch Egg quarters were destroyed within 5 minutes of arriving.
Then it was time to get ready for some stuff for dinner. The Smoker got rolling again and I added some Hickory to the mix.
I happened to find a Pork Loin thing on sale and figured it was worth throwing on the smoker.
Then there just happened to be some Meatballs and Bacon in the fridge. So... MOINK!
Everything went on.
At the same time, dinner quickly became a mass feeding at the In-laws house and I said I would do grill duty. The only problem was the running back and forth between the smoker at my house and the grill at theirs but, my lovely wife stepped in and took over the grilling duties.
The MOINK came of and quickly vanished....
The burgers were being handled with supreme care.
She really isn't a fan of getting her picture taken at times. :heh:
The burgers and brats hit the table along with some ho dogs.
Then it was time for the pork loin to make it's debut.
Honestly this was one of the moistest most tender pork loins I've ever had but, the flavor profile they infused it with was very very strong. I kept tasting it for a couple of hours after eating it and was rather irritated by that.
Overall though, it was a great Mother's Day filled with family fun and spectacular food.
