You do know that "OutofFoil" is pretty jealous right now, right?

There was an IPA in the garbage bag?

Mmm, that actually sounds good.

Melt 1 1/2 sticks of butter, then add a cup of brown sugar and a tablespoon or two of molasses.

The cayenne/spicy idea is a complete aversion to me. I like some sweet and spicy stuff, but stuff like that is just way too big of an extreme in differences in taste.

Im making pulled pork sandwiches today. I was wondering if anyone had experience on what kind of sauce or juice I can make when the meat is done. Once the pork is slow cooked all day and shredded, what can I soak it in? I usually just put BBQ sauce on it plain on a bun, but I want to try something different.

This is in my familial wheelhouse.

Any hot sauce that has a prominent vinegar taste will work well.

You can even make your own (though the recipe recommends that you let it sit around for a day or two):

That sounds delicious...ive always been a very big fan of NC style BBQ.

I don't know how familiar any of you are with the Export/Delmont area of Western PA, but there is a small bakery called Donut Chef. Its next to the Wagon Wheel restaurant and is simply incredible. They make and sell loafs of bread, rolls, dough nuts, and its as fresh as can be. The bread is amazingly soft and they also sell a cinnamon raisin bread that is to die for. The dough nuts are made fresh every morning and the glazed are so light and fluffy they are amazing.

the perfect scallop...3 minutes to cook. 25 minutes to clean the char off the pan.

I like just cooking it slow with a can of root beer, no sauce needed.

I second this recommendation, I don't use anything but Carolina-style vinegar sauces for pulled pork. In addition to directly saucing the meat, you can also toss the sauce with some shredded cabbage to make slaw, and then you put some slaw on the bun with the pork (slaw on a sandwich might sound weird to some, but it should be a familiar concept to Pittsburghers).

I think I posted this already, but I ran across something called Sawsawan ng Bayan at a recent trip my local Asian grocery store. It's a Filipino sauce made from coconut vinegar, chiles, and other spices. Swap out the coconut vinegar for cider vinegar, and it could be a spicy Carolina vinegar sauce. And the label recommends using it on lechón: Filipino barbecued whole hog. I wonder if some good ol' boy from North Carolina once ended up in the Philippines, or whether it was a happy case of convergent evolution.

I cook mine for about 14 hours, pull it, mix it with some Frank's Red Hot, then a little Sweet Baby Ray's Hickory & Brown Sugar sauce...but not enough to make it too moist. Then serve on a soft roll with a little coleslaw on top (that's Memphis Style).

I'm trying my hand at a new dish tonight. The very nice Middle Eastern woman who owns an amazing spice shop shared the recipe with me. It's called chicken biryani. It's basically a chicken and rice dish with a really unique sauce. Right now the chicken is marinating in a mixture of yogurt, masala and curry powder, star anise, clove, bay leaf, cardamon, cinnamon, coriander, garlic and ginger. Then it gets cooked with onions, tomatoes, more spices and served over a saffron infused rice. Fingers crossed it turns out okay.

My wife has started reading pinterest and is going to make some chicken casserole tonight. it will probably suck but at least she's finally trying to cook

If not, there's always the all you can eat sushi train for $15 across the street... But I doubt it will be bad.

We can always get a Debonaire's Double stuffed crust... Cheesegriller sausage rolled up in one crust with another roll of regular cheese in another roll of crust. Two stuffed crusts, one pizza = genius

It's basically like chiken tikka masala, which I make on the reg. it's my favorite dish that I'm capable of cooking.

It's a little like chicken masala, but not quite. I've never made anything like this, there were so many layers of flavor. I was really happy with the results!!!
