Speaking of hot dogs, I made a "Michigan" a few weeks ago that was really good. You can buy the special sauce at most mainline grocery stores (it's probably produced en masse in Michigan), steam the buns, boil the hot dogs, and serve it with mustard and chopped onions. I think it fits very well as a lunch dish!!

Michigan Blueberries

The berries are in and I have me a 10# box, made some pie filling today. They are really big and sweet. Will also make some syrup and freeze a bunch of whole berries.

Save enough to actually put IN the pancakes! (I'll be right down.)

Catfish freshly caught from the river out back of the house, rolled in cornflour and fried. Fresh tomatoes from the garden and baked potato wedges.

Just finished off the left overs from last weeks recipe experiment. Really worth a go if you like pork tacos. I cooked at 250 for 3.5 hours instead of the recommended 350 for 1 hour. Used 3 extra metal skewers to keep the tower from falling over. Was REALLY nice!

Looks really good and pretty simple, that method probably renders the fat out of that pork shoulder pretty good. Thanks!

Thanks for that, blue. Looks like I'm going to have to try it this week. I have a picnic roast that looks fatty enough to be good.

I meant to say 250 degrees for 3.5 hours. Silly fingers! I had meat sweats as I was typing the original post.

Summer memories

Our daughter has always had an interest in cooking; Chopped, Cupcake Wars, etc. are staples on TV. A couple years ago we gave her some professional cooking lessons as a Christmas gift. She's enjoyed cooking for us, but things are really taking off.

This summer, she put together a list of countries and regions with the intent to cook from one area per month. Well, she and we enjoy it so much that her 6th grade brother has joined in with preparing his own (with mom's help) meals as well. Over the past month, we've had meals from Hawaii, France, Morocco, China and Brazil. Each kiddo makes a meal complete with a Powerpoint and regional music while we eat. They're making some good food, and judging from the smiles on their faces, some good fun. It's just something that they want to do

France: ratatouille, chicken francese, madelines (shaped as Star Wars charachters...hey, the chef is a 6th grade boy This was a yummy meal!

China: Marinated chicken, handmade eggrolls, hand made sweet wontons

Brazil: Brazilian Chicken A Mineira, Po de Queijo (cheese bread), and Beijinho de Coco (coconut candy, super sweet)

Morocco: citrus shrimp, couscous w/vegetables and gold raisins, dill sauce and sfenj (basically donuts) So yummy!

Well, I had to do a little re-engineering. I switched from the Pisa School to the Egyptian School. I think I'll do it on a rotisserie spit next time.

I thought the roast was boneless but it wasn't, so I made pork stock, too. It was a big bone so I'm going to save it for making a remouillage (a procedure that I just learned making the stock and a word that I can't pronounce).

The outcome was very tasty. Besides the ancho chili, I used hot chili powder that we bought in Hatch, NM. I'll use more next time for a little more heat and probably add a little minced garlic for personal taste.

Over all, it's a relatively easy meal except for that stacking thing.

remouillage

us chefs just call it a second stock........

Not sure I'd take the time and effort to make a second stock unless I had a lot, and I mean a lot of bones.

Do you roast your bones before making the stocks?
