Sober But Hopeful Days, and BBQ Sauce

 

            I was certainly wrong about one little detail yesterday. It turns out that the price of a gallon of organic apple cider vinegar is a heck of a lot more than half of a roll of quarters! Goodness sakes! Yes!

            But, just to stay on topic a little, I offer you Bulgar Wheat's North Carolina BBQ sauce recipe. He said that it was meant to be mixed with pulled pork.

            Ahem, here goes:

• 1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 cup hot water
• 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 Tablespoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon black pepper, (ground I'm positive)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cayenne

            To tell the truth, I have never encountered pulled pork. There are authentic bbq places up here, but I almost always go for brisket.

            One thing about these real bbq places that mystifies me are the slices of plain white bread they serve with it. Huh?

            Now that the recipe section of the blog is dealt with, I will attempt to say something not completely vacuous about these few days in January.

            We all know what's up. It feels like a pivot point. In a way no different than it's ever been, but so much more overt! I feel like crossing my fingers.

            By the way, I wonder if crossing the fingers was originally some sort of silent prayer demo? Wiki thinks so, but others consider that spurious.

            As usual, I pray for a gigantic fizzle of all the rotten plans of the usual suspects!

           

            Now, we shall see what we shall see!
