It may have the been the best thing I've ever made. I think I ate four sandwiches myself. I am absolutely making this again, and soon. Tongue

sounds great.. I find bread is absolutely key in a good sandwich-- quality, freshness and type of bread makes all the difference

that would be a novel way of re-treating the shed

Thanks for the tip...the party's on Sunday and my preparation/"research" to date has been nil. Now I find out my wife's uncle, a real BBQ "connoisseur", is coming, so the pressure is on! Smile

The latest issue of Cooking Light magazine has a recipe for pulled pork shoulder. Just an FYI.

hope the cake worked out prog-chick. As I recall, frosting a cake isn't so easy at first.

We do a version covered in chinese flavouring (five-spice, star anis, soy-sauce etc) and honey, sprinkle with pine-nuts; wrap in foil and sling on the barbie till cooked. Rip it to shreds and serve with hoisin dip on flat-bread with shredded spring onion (scallions). Like Pekin duck at a fraction of the price.

What?

Today I did some good ol' American cheeseburgers on the grill with a little seasonings, worchestershire sauce and honey mixed in. Also wrapped little fingerling potatoes in foil and added some garlic, vidalia onions and basil, plus just a little chicken broth to steam them. Lastly, I cut up some peaches, plums and mixed them with a little sugar with some fresh blueberries tossed in.

It was colorful, if anything. The fingerling potatoes had these long ones that were a deep purple. Delicious, too.

I found some ideas on preparing pulled pork on the web - going to try it some time later this summer - after we get back from holidays (leaving next saturday).

Tonight I'm going to prepare some greek oriented stuff: gyros with pitah bread and tzatziki, and a vegetable mix of grilled zucchini, eggplant, patatoe onion and tomato with fresh herbs.

Pulled pork??? wassat?

I am killing time during the baking of a cake....... another birthday in the houshold, and it has become tradition to so if you can beat the mum on these occaision for asking for the most ridiculous themed cakes...... I'ved pulled off everything so far, but as they get older the "ideas" get more advanced and one of these days, I am going to fail my task!

They know of course I get as much (sometimes I wonder if not more) joy out of the whole thing as they do..... so tonight we are making a cake on the theme of a recent camping trip...... I'll post pix after the b-day party (tomorrow!)

Wish me luck prog-chefs!

PC x

ps....I make a wicked BBQ sauce!
I'll post the recipe!

I haven't had good pulled pork in a long time, I'm sure you'll find some ideas.. it's pretty popular. Don't forget some slaw for the sandwiches or on the side. You gonna make your own BBQ sauce?... that's something I'd like to try.

OK, so we're throwing a birthday party for my son in a few weeks. I want to do a pork shoulder slow and low, and get some awesome pulled pork sandwiches for people to enjoy (in addition to the usual picnic fare). If anyone has any recipes for such they'd like to share, I'm all ears (or in the case of reading a website, all eyes). I've done this before and it came out pretty good, but I did things ad hoc and didn't write anything down.

HI Prog chefs!

I keep meaning to pop in here........ but I am either cooking, or working..... so no time..... However, I am having 5 minutes 'me' time in a lull to thought I would pop in and share....

I am in the middle of preparing Birthday Banquet for the beloved and some old (dreadfully old!

) friends.

For dessert I have invented a pud to die for "Pina Colada Pavlova" Meringue base, them covered in fresh pineapple which I caramelised in caster sugar and rum..... then I plopped over a heap of whipped cream/coconut cream/sugar mixture...... topped it all of with more pineapple and coconut flakes.
I have made coconut ice-cream to go with.
YUM YUM YUM!!!
I think we'll all vomit!!! or get incredibly fat!
Hey whats old age for?

I'll let you know how it goes...... gotta stir the ice-cream now!

PC x

that really does sound great pc, I love pineapple, and the coconut cream.. oh yeah...
