Ribs a Long Time Coming

Meatup

I'm assuming that by now you are armed with a spice grinder and a homemade, world class rub. If you're not, you should know that I am very disappointed with you. I mean, you had two days to get this together, how much more time and motivation do you need?!!?! Well, if it is a matter of motivation, how about making something insanely delicious out of that rub...something like Mike Mill's Apple City Barbecue Grand World Champion Ribs?

A Trip Back to the Islands

A Filimeato Feast

What was I thinking when I attempted to make Filipino BBQ last week from a cookbook? Why would I ever do that when I have direct connections to family from the Philippines that could have warned me what I was doing was wrong? I don't really know why I chose to do things the way I did, but I made sure to correct the problem before the grand Filimeato Feast. I went straight to the source for a recipe, provided by the bbq maker in the gf's family, and the end result was everything I ever wanted.

One is a Lonely Number

Bourbon-Brined Pork Chops

Memorial Day weekend and the days preceding were jam packed with non-stop adventure in an effort to cram in as much as possible for our out-of-town guests. We went everywhere from the Bronx Zoo all the way down to Coney Island. Eating was non-stop as well, since how can you come to NY without eating at Burger Joint, Nathan's, Lombardi's, UFC, Pomme Frites...and the list just keeps going. So after all the weekend excitement, Monday night rolled around and I found myself oddly alone for dinner.

Cooking for one is always a challenge for me, because I find it easier, and more economical, to cook for a crowd. So I went in search for a recipe that could easily be adjusted for one, without having leftovers, since the rest of this week I'll be out and about again. I chose a Bourbon-brined pork chop, seeing as I already had all the ingredients at home (besides the meat) and it seemed like a meal well suited to make for one.

Pork Disaster

Guajillos

So I thought it would be fun to try to make something different to gear up for Cinco de Mayo and break away from the usual fajitas, tacos, guacamole (not that there's anything wrong with that). I turned to one of my favorite cookbooks, Mexican Everyday, in search for something that would possibly make the holiday a little more authentic, which is where I made my first big mistake. We all know that it's appalling for residents of NYC to attempt to make authentic Mexican food (salsa in particular) and I don't know why I ever thought that I would be an exception to this rule.

Parting Gifts

Vietnamese Ribs

It's been long, too long really, since I fired up the smoker and got things going again. Sure there were efforts put forth, but mainly laziness prevailed over good intentions and I have not produced any barbecue since October (gasp). I'm not sure this weekend would have changed that either if it were not for the thoughtfulness of my now ex-co-workers.
