It was such a nice day and all I had planned was cooking with the oven. Putting the oven on would have made the house too hot so we went out for Chinese. It was yummy!

OOOH! I love Outback's French Onion Soup.

Don't ask me what I ate. I have no idea what it was. It was some kind of turkey roll up thing. I had to stop by Walmart and I was hungry, I saw a ready made food in the bakery section and plopped it in my buggy.

Boston Butts are popular Pork Shoulder Roasts that groups often smoke or barbecue and sell at fund raisers around here. It's very good!

I had actually never thought of the name, but you got me curious so I found this:

So what is Boston butt?

It's a fresh pork shoulder roast. Carma Rogers, an information specialist with the National Pork Board, says the term "Boston butt" originated in pre-Revolutionary War New England. Some pork cuts were packed into casks or barrels also known as "butts" for storage and shipment.

"The particular way the hog shoulder was cut in the Boston area," Rogers said, "became known in other regions as 'Boston butt.' This moniker stuck and today, Boston butt is called just that almost everywhere in the U.S."

It's also called Boston shoulder roast, pork shoulder butt or just pork butt.

Some labels don't include "pork roast" with the Boston butt part because butchers assume cooks know this

So there you have it. It was never my intention to insult anyone, of course. I mean, I can't help it if Bostonians don't know their butts from their shoulders.



Just kidding..really...now put that down!!!

Thanks for the INFO alabamaalan! I kind of knew what it was, but couldn't explain it as well as you did.
