Where there's smoke...

Ahhh, to cook again. To have a sink, and running water, and a dishwasher... and the new counters. I'm in hog heaven. Speaking of hogs, I cooked a little pig today. Pork shoulder, onions and garlic that simmer in some brew with orange juice, ketchup, worshesheshester sauce and other related ingredients.

The pork was good. I recommend toasting the bread. Add extra grilled/sauted onions & sweet peppers for another flavor.

I like recipes that give me an excuse to try new ingredients. Otherwise, I'd never know what to do with things like horseradish root, or fish sauce. Our pantry of condiments, oils, vinegars and sauces is enormous. Well add one more to the collection, because this recipe called for liquid smoke. I've been so curious what liquid smoke smells like - because I hoped to heck it didn't smell like smoke. Would my meat have taste like ash? To my pleasant surprise, it smelled like BBQ'd, saucy ribs. Ohhhh it smelled so good (thank goodness).
