This recipe is as sacred as they come. I’ve been keeping it tucked away in a box on a top cupboard shelf for safe keeping, bringing out only for special occasions for these past 18 or so years. To disrespect or disregard the wonderfulness of this recipe, is, simply put, a crime. As the title

When I saw this week’s assignment “Blue” I knew immediately which photo I wanted to share. This one, my favorite of all of the photos I took in Rome. Like so many things in life, you have to see things in person to really appreciate them, but just look at the blue in the angels

Christmas growing up? Completely awesome! We went from “It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown” to about two weeks of eating Halloween candy, then two more weeks and it was Charlie Brown’s Thanksgiving special which pretty much catapulted us into pre-Christmas excitement because about a week after that we hit “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer”.

Pulled pork is an awesome go to recipe to have in your repertoire for pot-lucks, big gatherings, make ahead lunches, and teen aged boys.
