I started the pork last night, letting it sit coated in the dry spice rub overnight. I know its not exactly in the tradition of K.C. bbq (which is more sauce-based), but I really like the flavor of meats cooked with dry rub. I found a recipe for a spice rub mix, originally published in Cook’s Illustrated. I of course made my own alterations to it. Here’s what I ended up with.

I was feeling pretty darned good about myself yesterday. The garden beds are nearly ready for planting, and our beautiful bunny repellent border was planted. Marigolds…everyone told me marigolds work wonders against bunnies.
So you may imagine my suprise and horror when I peered out my bedroom window first thing this morning to find not one, not two, but THREE bunnies hanging out at the marigold border as if it was the hot new night club in town. And I believe that one was munching on the marigold leaves.
