Quick Eats: Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

Today's post is brought to you by the letter F, for Fire Marshall. (I'd tell you the whole story, but let's just say our oven at work was disconnected and we had no way of making our usual Friday frozen pizzas.) So in order to make sure we could maintain a happy office I offered to make one of my favorite things: slow cooker pulled pork.

The Basics: Hard Boiled Eggs

This is probably the simplest of recipes I'll ever post unless there's a need for a how-to on boiling water.

Brie and Pancetta Stuffed Pork Chops

You all know by now that I like cheese and I love meat. We found these wonderfully thick pork chops for sale and my first thought was, "STUFF THEM!"

Braised Beef Cheeks, aka Beef Butter

I have a philosophy about new foods:

Try anything once, twice if you like it, three times to make sure.

Quick Eats: Flatbreads

Howdy, neighbors! I apologize for leaving you hanging for the past few weeks. Summer school has been a tour du force and I haven't had much time to myself. I have quite a few posts pending, so expect to see some catching up in the next week.

After a rough day of work I needed to decompress a little bit before jumping into writing a final paper and writing up the take-home final exam. Ms. Hightail had made some amazing cucumber dip and we had nearly run out of my favorite flatbreads from World Market that went so well with it. I poked around on the Internet a little bit and found a recipe over at Stresscake that seemed pretty easy to handle. (And the site seemed fitting!)

The Basics: Whipped Cream and Butter

Milk is amazing. It's just as simple as that.

Möbius Steak: Accepting Delicious Defeat

I didn't fail the test. I just found 100 ways to do it wrong.

Not everything goes as planned. You study something, follow the directions, and you find your end product is a total flop. I always think it important to refer to them as "learning experiences" and to try and find something positive despite the lack of success.
