#1 & Only Son to turn 18 on Sunday -- He will be home alone and returning to school while Ku & I will be returning from Salado :silly:

Found a 5+ # Frenched pork loin at Sam's a while back and saved it -- a favorite of growing young man's ;)

LBGE went very hot at 400 and gave me a new "do" for Saladao :S , but wrestled it back to 375 and cooked to tasty goodness :laugh:

Brined in 2/3 c Kosher salt, 1 c fine sugar, ground bay leaves, ground sage, and a bit of dried mint from last year's harvest -- all in 10 cups water for 4 hours; rested 2 with Raging River on underside. Sure was nice to have a bit of bone, but not that impossible to cut through chine bone :blink:

Cooked over drip pan on lower AR (used MBGE grid) for 45 minutes, flipping from fat down to up at 30 min.....temp ranged from 117 - 145 at 45 minutes, so added some water to the pan for about 5 minutes, then went direct on lower level for 10.

Served with baby bella gravy, mixed rice (wild, brown, and jasmine) pilaf, and asparagus tips.

Happy 18th Birthday, Tall One B)
