Original Post:
First off, Happy Mothers Day to all you wonderful mothers out there. My goodness, where would we be without you guys…
We are having our Mom’s over for dinner tonight. I am in charge of the cooking and have decided on a big feast from my Southern Living Cookbook.
For starters, there is the 6.5 pound Boston Butt that I just stuck in the oven:
it was marinated in orange juice, brown sugar, oregano, garlic and onion powder, chili powder and some other spices. Oh man, does it smell good!
She is in the oven for 4 hours. I will update as I start cooking the other dishes which include: edamame succotash, cauliflower and leek puree, tomato Florentine and berry cobbler for afters!
The edamame succotash could have used a bit more seasoning, but it was good:
The tomato Florentine was probably the best, well, besides the meat.
The finished product!
Oh man the meat was very tender and juicy and the seasoning was to die for. I will definitely do it again.

Dude, quit raising the dang bar! I don’t want to have to come over there and slap you.
Heh
Whats a Boston Butt?
Good plan. All the mothers covered and your wife doesn’t have to do anything. Don’t make her do the dishes now!
No dishes for her. The funny thing is that I got a little behind and the mothers and my wonderful wife insisted that they help, so I let them make the berry cobbler!
It was wonderful!
Filler, Boston Butt is a pork roast.
