close chicky


Sure it was marinated in fresh lemon juice, with a dry rub. But it was also bathed towards the end in my home made molasses and tomato and beer and garlic and fresh herb SAUCE !

memorial day 2003


Just a little SNACK !!! There was two chickens marinating in fresh lemon juice and a happy dry rub made by ME. 3 hot italian sausages from Rick’s Meats in El Cerrito (the good ones), a hunk of country style pork ribs with a spicy dry rub, sandwiched with bay leaves, tied and bathed in olive oil. Oh and a all week marinated beef roast and a few burgers! As I said, just a little ol’ snack.

Gramm’s Sauce Finished


Thanks again Gramma, this ‘mater sauce really turned out well. I simmered the baby back ribs in the tomatoes for a few hours. Let it sit over night to gather more flavor. First thing I did was warm some garlic in olive oil, toss in some fresh basil and mix it into the warmed sauce. That, some pasta and fresh grilled Atlantic salmon and we were SET. Thanks.

Simmer of pork tomato Italian Love


Here is the simmering portion of the tomato based sauce of baby back pork rib love. Man, it only has another hour or so to simmer then it is EAT TIME. The smells pouring from the kitchen have been first rate. Of course it helps to have made buttery cookies in the breakfast hour ….

Rinsing Pork


It isn’t necessary to wash raw pork before cooking it. Any bacteria which might be present on the surface would be destroyed by cooking.

Pork Burrito Love


Okay, so I’m dying already. Here it is 7:30 Thursday morning and this is what I find in my Inbox. I know it was probably meant for dinner or a huge lunch, but am now thinking BREAKFAST.
Thanks Joe ?

Cleaving it Twain

Listen up people, if you need to cleave meat in parts you need this cleaver. It’s available from MY knife dealer, whom I purchased many a blade from and completely trust. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=11660&item=3223960906
