We had started a fun tradition while living in Washington. We would BBQ something big on conference Sunday and invite someone over for dinner. Moving across the country threw us off track, and it took us a year to get settled in to where we could start this tradition again. On Sunday we grilled a 7 pound pork butt for 6 hours. It was tasty, moist, tender and beautiful. It could have used a little more smoke, but we are still learning. We invited the kids’ piano teacher, Joanne, and her husband Randy. Joanne is a great teacher and friend, along with being the kids’ surrogate grandmother here in New York. They brought a very rich chocolate cake that had a cup and a half of oil in it. Definitely not low in calories.
We enjoyed watching conference this weekend. The kids survived it anyhow. I especially enjoyed Elder Bednar’s talk on prayer, and President Monson’s final talk. It has given me lots to think about and work on.
