Extenuating circu-perhappenstances

[hotwine]

WW, I've read this posting several times, and keep coming back to it for the really nice images it conjures up. I poked fun at you on another thread for using mesquite instead of oak in your smoker, but that's all it was. I'm impressed with the time and care you put into preparing that wonderful meal. So many people seem to think "outdoor grilling" means pushing a button on a propane burner and getting it over with in 10 minutes or less; the whole idea of spending an entire day preparing a meal would be horrifying to them. They don't understand what it's all about - that barbequeing takes time, and lots of it, or you wind up with trimmings from your saddlemaker's floor. And just look at all of that wunnerful juice they could enjoy, if they just took the time to do it right!

Congrats on what must have been a really wonderful meal.
