Pastor & the Donkey - Rated PG

The pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won, The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again, and It won again. The local paper read: PASTOR'S ASS OUT FRONT

The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the pastor not to enter the donkey in another race. The next day, the local paper headline read: BISHOP SCRATCHES PASTOR'S ASS.

This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the pastor to get rid of the donkey. The pastor decided to give it to a nun in a nearby convent. The local paper, hearing of the news, posted the following headline the next day: NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN.

The bishop fainted. He informed the nun that she would have to get Rid of the donkey, so she sold it to a farmer for $10.The next day the paper read: NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10

This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the nun to buy back the donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run wild. The next day the headlines read: NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE

The bishop was buried the next day.

The moral of the story is: Being concerned about public opinion can bring you much grief and misery...and even shorten your life. So be yourself and enjoy life.

Stop worrying about everyone else's ass and you'll be a lot happier and live longer!

Hillbilly Pork Loin

Cooked a great Pork Loin over the weekend.

Ingredients;

One whole boneless pork loin (approximately 8 lbs)

Directions;

If using charcoal briquettes arrange two piles, one on each side of grill

If using a gas grill with three elements only use the two outside elements

If you only have two elements like most of us you will need to put foil in the middle of grill to keep from burning the outside of the pork loin during grilling. Using this style I would recommend turning the loin frequently.

Using any of these grilling methods you will need to keep the heat low.
Rub the entire pork loin with rub as shown below. Place pork loin on grill in center (on foil if using two burner gas grill)

Grill for twenty minutes per pound

At fifteen minutes per pound check grilled pork loin in three places with Meat Thermometer. Close to each end and in the middle.

It is done when it reaches 160 degrees (Its ok after 150 degrees and better moisture)

It is well done at 170 degrees for those of you who are squeamish about pork

After reaching desired temperature turn grill as low as you can (with charcoal grills-shut all your air sources)

Coat entire grilled pork loin with Barbecue Sauce, grill five more minutes

Let grilled loin rest about ten minutes before slicing (I would still recommend a board with a trough as juices will still flow and can make quite a mess)

Enjoy

Rub Ingredients

INGREDIENTS
4 tablespoons brown sugar
3 teaspoon yellow prepared mustard
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons dried cumin
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon rubbed sage
1 teaspoon dried thyme

Place the brown sugar and mustard in a small bowl. Combine with the back of a spoon. Add the remaining dry ingredients and combine well. Pat off excess moisture from the pork with a paper towel. Rub the dry ingredients all over the surface. (The brown sugar with clump at first, but will eventually spread as the pork sets.) Place in a baking dish and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Check occasionally to spread the rub more evenly.

Jay Leno - Quote - Smart guy

The quote of the month is by Jay Leno :

"With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks,"Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?"

Excerpts from a Newsweek story..

Before 9/11, and before Iraq, there was an inexperienced Texas governor who won the presidency — after a few legal hitches — on a relatively simple pledge: to restore honor and integrity to the Oval Office.

Tempting Fat

The coming crackdown on trans fats.

Put your hands in the air, and step away from the cookie.

That's the message from New York City, where the health department has just ordered the city's 25,000 restaurants to purge nearly all trans fats from their menus. Restaurant owners are terrified that other cities will follow. In the dough business, like show business, New York leads the way. If you can't bake it there, you can't bake it anywhere.
The whole world is engulfed in a war on fat. On one side are health crusaders. On the other side are food sellers and libertarians. Lately, the health costs of obesity have prodded politicians into the war, shifting the balance of power to the crusaders. Still, Americans draw the line at food. You stamped out our cigarettes, you made us wear seat belts, but you'll get our burgers when you pry them from our cold, dead hands.

How To Speak Republican …… or Democratic.By Jack ShaferPosted Wednesday, Dec. 6, 2006, at 7:02 PM ET

In recent weeks, major U.S. news organizations have started using the phrase "civil war" to describe the unpleasantness in Iraq, prompting a brawl between liberal and conservative commentators.
Speaking on the left, Eric Boehlert derides the press for only now calling the mayhem a civil war. Boehlert accuses various organizations, which include NBC News, the New York Times, the Miami Herald, the Christian Science Monitor, and the Los Angeles Times, of accommodating President Bush by keeping the phrase out of their coverage for three-plus years. The administration abhors the phrase, preferring "sectarian violence."
