Skier’s Dinner
If you’re not fussing with a smoker*, pulled pork can be one of the most low-maintenance/high-reward foods out there.

And though it’s nice to not haul around my winter coat all the time, honestly, it’s kinda interfering with the natural psychological build-up of my Christmas spirit. I have the twinkling tree, the advent calendar (chocolate, of course!), and the window wreaths. …
