You Might Own a Caja China, if...

~Chef Perry Perkins~

• ...the term “going whole hog” isn’t metaphorical at your house.
• ...your neighbors have complained to your home owner’s association about “second hand smoke”.
• ...you demand that your spouse of 30 years leave the kitchen when you make a batch of your “secret” bbq sauce.
• ...you wore a brown wedding dress so the rib sauce wouldn’t show.
• ...you’ve ever used the phrase, “rub my butt” in front of your mother.
• ...If you have more roasting boxes on your deck than you have people living in your house.
• ...you take a notepad and pen to the zoo, in case you get an idea for a new recipe.
• ...you’ve ever had to adjust your roast-time for “blizzard-like conditions”.
• ...you have the only 6 y/o on your block with a Cajun Microwave instead of an Easy-Bake Oven.
• ...you can recite the exact “pull temps” for beef, pork, and chicken, but can’t remember your zip code.
• ...you’ve forcibly removed someone from your house for using ketchup.
• ...you grow 6 kinds of peppers, but your lawn has been dead for a year.
• ...you’re no longer allowed to recite “your version” of The 3 Little Pigs to your children/grandchildren.
• ...you’ve ever removed a wedding picture from a frame, because it was the only one that your “Best in Pork” certificate would fit in.
• ...you’ve ever stabbed someone with a meat thermometer for “peeking.”
• ...you named your twin daughters “Kingsford” & “Mojo”.
• ...you wish Glade Plug-Ins came in Hickory and Mesquite.
• ...your spouse has ever accused you of loving your roasting box more than them, and you replied, “Which one?”

Go ahead and add yours...you know you want to!
