Re-run of a German comedy show from 1990. The host crashes the social democrats' party convention and asks some big whigs about his chances to become party chairman.

To Gerhard Schröder (at the time newly elected prime minister in Lower Saxony) he says he has to think about his retirement after all. Schröder comments that that's commendable and adds with a wry grin that he has already made some plans for that time.

Sometimes comedy is even funnier in hindsight.

My wife is away so one of the things I usually do is try out different manly recipes.  For example I'll usually make some beer-basted brats.

But this weekend I'm trying to do pulled pork.  Cripes, I've never seen a recipe I had to start 24 hours in advance.  First the pork shoulder had to sit in some bring for 12 hours.  Now it's sitting on my BBQ, with the heat as absolutely low as it will go, with a bunch of wood chips.  Here's hoping it turns out.

Never marinated anything? I recommend:

Doc's Volatile Steak Marinade or Sauce

4 oz Jack Daniels Whiskey

3 TB Honey

3 Tb Worcestershire Sauce

1 tsp White pepper

1 TB Tabasco sauce

2 Garlic cloves minced

1 TB cinnamon ground

12 oz Guiness Stout

4 oz Peanut oil

3 tsp salt

2 oz Soy sauce

Start with a saucepan. Mix the Guiness Stout, the Jack Daniels & the oil. Add the Worcestershire & tabasco sauce. Bring to a slow boil & add the white pepper, garlic, salt, cinnamon, & honey. Mix well, turn off heat, and allow to cool to room temp. Use immediately or store in a glass jar in refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Smells like hell when preparing it, but the steaks were very nice after soaking in this for 24 hours..

Well yeah, I've marinated before.  But usually that just meant marinating earlier in the day for a couple of hours (although I did a flank steak marinade that had to sight overnight).

I guess the freaky thing for me was not only did this have to sit in the brine for 12 hours, but the cooking time is another 10 hours.

I don't care what anyone else says, Neil.  You're ok in my book.
