One butt will make a lot of meals for you. Braise it in beer or apple
juice/cider slice and make a meal to eat with a knife & fork. Shred a
portion for pulled pork sandwiches, shred in bigger chunks and fry
(brown in a skillet) for carnitas. Use the carnitas for lots of SW or
Mexican type things. Cube some to make chili verde and then use those
leftover chili verde to make enchiladas and tamales.
