Thursday Night Smackdown: Now With 100% Less Pork!
Get ready for a whole lotta beige. I’m having a very love hate relationship with pork right now. On one hand, pork is unbelieveably delicious, and bacon is one of my major food groups. On the other, exposure to 18+ hours of smoking pig has left every one of my pores, hairs, lungs, bath towels, ...
