Xingu Smoked Pork Loin

3 Lbs pork loin, trimmed of silver skin and fat.

1 bottle Xingu Black beer

2T Crushed dried rosemary

2teaspoons liquid smoke

2 cloves garlic minced

2T Brown sugar

2T S and P

Boil the beer and add garlic, liquid smoke, rosemary and brown sugar, let it reduce to about half. Rub the pork with the salt, pepper and some rosemary. Set oven for 450 and brush beer liquid on the pork to make it moist. Put in the oven and let roast till 150 degrees, also reduce the beer mixture until it is a light syrup. During the cooking process baste the pork with the mixture until cooked to 150. Take out and let sit for 5 minutes so it can reach 155 degrees.

Any other Dark beer will work, Yeungling dark Lager will work nicely and also Guiness, though they do not have the slight coffee taste that Xingu does. If you use another beer add 1T coffee grounds in a sachet de epic to the beer boil, but don’t leave the grounds in for too long.

24 609 795

Finding a job is damned near impossible here in ATL. Upon searching and applying and searching some more nothing is panning out. Unemployment is very high, the USA unemployment rate is not 8.1%. That means over 24,609,795 people are unemployed… We are so fucked, or at least I am. If 24,609,794 people can’t find work how the hell will I. Just keep on praying I guess.

SCURVY!!!!!!!

Well I thought I've heard it all... but I was wrong. Today while chatting online I was told of a band, not a rock band, not a metal band, not even a country band. No... but a Rapping Hip-Hop Pirate Band. Yes I said it, I will say it again... A RAPPING HIP-HOP PIRATE BAND!!! Captain Dan and the Scurvy Crew, if you haven't heard of them well heres a link to thier music, click here. I could not believe it. The music actually sounds like one of those electronic drums you buy at Target. Upon listening I enjoyed it, it made me want to jump up and drink some rum! Give a listen, tell me what you think, if you like them buy the album (they need money for rum).

It Does EXIST!

Yes my friends! REJOICE! The Museum of Salt and Pepper Shakers does indeed EXIST!!!! PRAISE THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY!!!! THE SALT AND PEPPER SHAKER MUSEUM!!!!!!!

Just a pathetic rant…

I can’t help but wonder, what the hell is going on with my life… 24 years old, divorced, unemployed, living at home, and well lonely. I have been job hunting for ages and every lead I come up with gets shot down. Either they aren’t hiring or I just don’t meet the qualifications. I am soon going to be forced to find a job in retail or something of the sort, just so I can make money and hopefully get an apartment. Also being sick for the past week and a half has not put me in good spirits, not being able to work out has made me weaker and I can also feel my muscle turning into fat… the gym always made me happy and I can’t go until I’m well. I dunno, things seem to be going downhill for me and I can’t seem to pull myself out of the maelstrom no matter how hard I swim. Even Disney is not hiring any one for culinary positions, that’s just not right…

Drivin’ Me Crazy

Well Mikey got into ANOTHER accident. I can’t understand how this kid gets into these situations ALL THE FREAKIN TIME! I mean when I was in college I had one accident, I slid into a guard rail in an ice storm. Mikey has had one major accident and now he’s on his second in a span of like three months. I feel sorry for the little fucker because he has to deal with my father who is less than forgiving when it comes to accidents whether or not it is your fault or not. So now he has to deal with the wrath of my father…poor kid. My older brother too has had way more accidents than any of us, he bought a brand new Ford Focus when they first came out, about a month later he decided to ram it into some guys ass, totaled. My father seems to get rear ended by every shmuck on the face of the planet, and every truck on the road want to kill my mother. Driving is a fucked up thing down here in the ATL, I am beginning to wonder if I should start to wear a helmet…
