A while back, I posted a bit of a cheater’s recipe for the Black Pelican’s Citrus Rosemary Brined Chicken. I saw it on Diner’s Drive Ins and Dives and had to recreate it. The first time I made it, I didn’t use the Demi-Glace; I couldn’t buy it in my small town, where I was helping out my folks. It wasn’t until later that I came across Cheater’s Demi-Glace by Cook’s Illustrated.
The chickpea (sometimes called Garbanzo beans) has been around since Man began cultivating and is a main staple of many diets. Somehow, the lowly chickpea, here in the States, isn’t given the love it deserves.

Maybe the lunar eclipse of the blood moon we had last week affected my mind! Y’all know I love a good scratch recipe but this Crock-Pot Slow Cooker Pulled Pork or Brisket has me breaking that little rule. Oh, I’m such a rebel…

Here in the States, we have a dirty little secret. You won’t often hear it spoken of, but It seems like all of America is in love with meatloaf – even vegetarians and vegans find ways to duplicate this homey dish, and I’m seeing meatloaf making its appearance on pub & restaurant menus.

I haven’t been posting much on this blog; I stopped in to see my Dad, Chuck and Step Mom, Pat, in early June and basically never left…so for this summer at least, I’ve traded in my city life in the Twin Cities for a small town in South Dakota. Quite a shocker but we’re making do and working things through and having a pretty good time as we do so.
