Default Easter Lunch/Dinner...Linner? Dunch?

Whatever...we ate at 2p.m.
Yesterday I went to Iowa Meat Farms and snared me a 6lb Boston Butt (pork
shoulder). Came home, made a rub of brown sugar, kosher salt, ancho chilis,
white and black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and powdered rosemary
(from Penzey's). Wrapped the shoulder and let it sit in the fridge until 8
this morning. In the meantime, I also soaked some hickory, mesquite and
apple wood chips in a 1/2 and 1/2 mix of apple cider and water. This morning
I filled my smoker box and got the grill ready, and took out the meat to let
it get the chill off. Smoked it for almost 5 hours. Wrapped it in foil and
finished everything else: South Carolina Mustard Sauce, Carolina Honey
Sauce, veggie pizza (not really a pizza, but so yummy!!), fruit salad, pasta
salad, and beans (made the day before yesterday and reheated).
Wow...I missed pulled pork over the winter. I forgot how yummy it is! I even
gave Lucy (our mini schnauzer) a helping, which is a rare treat for her.
There's Tiramisu (authentic, yay!) in the fridge for dessert...not exactly
traditional, but neither was the rest of the meal!

So...what did you eat???
