What a year/ Happy Father's Day

Wow, can't believe I haven't posted in almost a year.  In that time I have worked at a BBQ joint and gotten through a six month intensive massage therapy program.  My clinicals are done and I have one week of class to go, then it's a board exam and state licensure.  My life is in a constant state of flux, and I love it.  As I look forward to a new career that I am absolutely in love with, I'm planning a special day for myself tomorrow on Father's Day.  I will be getting up at the crack of dawn to get my smoker going and start water for a batch of my Ambler Asbestos Ale.  The boston butt is dry-rubbed in the fridge, I will also be jumping on the bacon-wrapped-date bandwagon with fresh pork belly slices that I'll be smoking.  I'm also planning on smoking garlic for some kale and cold smoking goat cheese for a salad that will include broccoli sprouts, mixed greens, pine nuts and heirloom tomatoes.  If all goes according to plan I will be done brewing and cooking by about noon, with a much needed break for breakfast prepared by my three year old, then I'll sit back and relax with my amazing family and wait for the dinner bell.
I'm so incredibly grateful for all that I have, it truly is a magical world we live in, even with all of its faults.  That's all for now, I'll take pics tomorrow and post.
Be Well, Give Always, Take Care of Yourselves and Your Love Ones, Spread Peace!
