Crowning the Queen of Stuftivus

"I didn't know that eating pork improved sexual activity," Fernandez said in a meeting with representatives of the swine industry late Wednesday. "It is much more gratifying to eat some grilled pork than to take Viagra."

So says President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner of Argentina. Between issuing true political pork to subsidize the pork industry of Argentina and promoting pork as a benefit to an active sex life, President Fernandez de Kirchner is hereby dubbed the Queen of Stuftivus II.

In her honor Smokey suggests a Saturday evening dinner with your honey featuring a menu of oysters and champagne, followed by bacon wrapped pork sausage on a bed of pulled pork with a Guiness, finished with a chocolate souffle and small glass of Tokaji.

What a great two days for Stuftivus! On Thursday we get our muse for Stuftivus II and today we find our Queen for Stuftivus II!

Now off to cook some pork for dinner!

Stuftivus II Finds Its Muse

Stuftivus I centered on the Bacon Explosion. From the simple email from Sister Sharon about the Bacon Explosion came an explosion of commentary on Facebook about when Dennis, aka Smokey Stuftivus, would be embarking on such a culinary journey. The answer begat Stuftivus. With the help of Reno Mike and some pork products it was a rousing, and rotund, success.

Now Sister Sharon has descended from Mount Novato with yet another delight. The Brandcheezie (pictured compliments of its home at Brand BBQ Market in Chicago). Some thoughts.

First, "cheezie" is in the name! Harkens "E-Z Cheese". Possible substitute for gorgonzola or blue cheese? Squirt some E-Z Cheese in that big guy? Harkens my E-Z P-Z Pasta N Chee-Z would would be a fine side dish for the Brandcheezie.

Second, while the original Brandcheezie is fried, I think Reno Mike and I showed our grit at Stuftivus I in being able to grill huge amounts of bacon wrapped pork wrapped bacon, so the Stuftivus version of the Brandcheezie will not doubt come to grill.

Third, is there a better Muse out there for Stuftivus II than the Brandcheezie? If so I don't know that I want to know. Smokey will be dreaming of sausage stuffed with cheese wrapped in bacon glazed with barbecue sauce and alcohol.

Coming soon the official date for Stuftivus II: We thought about fish, but its still about Pork!

You know what won't be at Stuftivus II, or any Stuftivus!
