Lawdwaz Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I fished a bit today then mowed the lawn. My daughter and wife were working so it was just sonny boy and I for dinner. We had a Hormell pork tenderloin in the fridge but it was marked "Use By July 1st 2014". Considering those things are packaged probably months ago those "use by dates" can mean something. I guess we'll see how tonight and tomorrow go because it was delicious. I torched the BBQ and dusted them with Bad Byron's Butt Rub. As they neared the desired internal temp I spread some Sweat Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce on them and finished them off. They were spectacular! I heated up some leftover peas, we split a sweat potato and I made a salad. Not too shabby! Hopefully we don't get sick and croak as that July 1 date is still in the back of my mind.................................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The leftovers will make tremendous sandwiches.......... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
