Sorry for the lack of blogging and the absence of Meaty Mondays this week! From traveling and trying to finish up grad school it has been a pretty busy last few weeks. In my free time (ha!) I have been sending out resumes and creating a portfolio website. Check it out here -- its not nearly done, but at least I have almost the entire Africa unit up! Russia, the EU, and more to follow!!
Things are staying busy here in Gainesville. With the semester wrapping up and the job hunt almost in full gear, I am surprised I am even finding time to write this recipe down!
No pics today... just the assurance from my husband that this is probably "the BEST" fried chicken he's ever had... and that's sayin' something. Gotta thank Paula Dean for the recipe:
My interest in cooking grew a lot during undergrad -- I loved cooking for my roommates, trying new dishes with them, and exchanging recipes. Ever since Josh & I got married, I have been trying out new main courses trying to appease his need for spiciness and flavor and my picky-eating syndrome. Some have been a complete bust, but others are completely AWESOME. Half in order to share these recipes with you and half to remember them and not let them get mixed in with some of the more mediocre recipes, I began thinking about posting them (with a few pics for kicks). Some of these "Monday" posts might be full of awesomely prepared meat dishes & moments while some might tell of horrible stories I encountered in the kitchen, but Josh said it would be okay for me to write about them all as long as I don't become like Julie & Julia... which I couldn't do anyway since I have other things to do around the house besides cook, could probably not afford to cook braised duck or raspberry Bavarian cream frequently, and do not really have the stamina to cook every night of the week ;)
The following is probably THE BEST pulled pork I have ever had in my life...
