Vegetarians, I’m sorry. We tried. Really, we did. Nights like this are precisely why there is a “failure” category.

Thanksgiving ’08: Homeward Bound, Part 2

Thanksgiving ’08: Homeward Bound, Part 2

Okay, maybe it took nearly 13 hours to get home from North Carolina yesterday – yay, holiday travel! – and possibly my back is still molded into the shape of a 2005 Honda Accord passenger seat.

The Dodge & Graham Horse and Pony Jamboree: Part 2

Here’s a man who really knows how to massage his meat. A barbecue in North Carolina isn’t really a barbecue unless some part of a pig is being cooked, and the Horse and Pony Jamboree did not disappoint.  Dodge (actual first name), the better other half of the HPJ, created an intensely flavorful pork shoulder, ...

The Dodge & Graham Horse and Pony Jamboree: Part 1

I need something wide and shallow. Here’s the exciting thing about this post: you’ll get to feel like you’re PART OF THE ACTION.  No, I haven’t invented smell-o-blogging or taste-o-blogging, but after spending almost 10 hours with Graham and Dodge, 2 chefs from the chi-chi Sanderling resort here on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, ...
