Pork

---

Robin from Hippo Flambe with my most recent musings on pork The first time I heard about pork loin braised in milk I was working in a retail store and I was hiding from the manager with several other sales associates talking about our favorite dinners that our children also liked.

To start off this is my wife’s recipe. Regardless of how good of a cook I am we each have certain items that we cook and we don’t mix them up. For example; I make the sushi around here, she makes the meatloaf, I make the Fish, and she makes the Pork n Green Chili Enchilada’s.

Lardo. You wouldn't think that taking the single most unhealthy thing to come off of a pig carcass, layering it in salt, and putting it in a dark place for 4-6 months would yield anything decent. Truth be told, it sounds kinda scary. But the fact is... it does.

Well, that pretty much sums up all you need to know about our good buddy the flu-carrying-destroyer-of-civilization. This week, during the Salute to H1-N1, I want each and everyone one of you to hug a guy who's working a bbq. He may look like he's listening to the game, knocking back a cold brew and occasionally tending the fire... but in reality he is your front line of defense.
