You know that scene in Dirty Dancing when Dr. Houseman tells Johnny he knows he’s not the one who got Penny pregnant?
He’s all, “When I’m wrong, I say I’m wrong.”
(The moment is at 4:28, in case you’re interested — or in case you just wanna watch pretty people dirty dance.)
ANYWAY, when I’M wrong, I say I’m wrong too.
So, here’s one of the ways I’ve been wrong lately: I think I may have been too hard on the Spicy Calabrian Pork Ribs.
They’ve been sitting in my fridge since I made them on Monday and I’ve been snacking on them all week. I’m liking them more now than I did initially. I think maybe the marinade needs to be made a few days in advance so the flavors have time to marry. I might try this experiment another time. (If I do, I’ll totally get back to you.)
The other experiment I want to try?
Involves the maple chile glaze from this pork chop recipe. I think I want to put THAT on pork ribs as well. This brings me to another thought….
It’s possible my pig obsession is getting out of control.
I keep telling myself at least it’s not as bad as this guy’s:
I mean I haven’t declared my love on my car yet….
But I probably would wear one of these to work out.
If you suffer from the same affliction, you can buy these shirts here.
An intervention may be necessary.
Even if things ARE a little out of control, I’m not ready to stop the obsession yet, so let’s just keep oinking, K?
Yesterday I promised you the recipe for Balsamic Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Onions, so here it is.
They were a huge hit with Spence the Spinosaurus.
I had some bacon leftover after I made the dish, so I decided to candy it with spices and maple syrup. (Recipe to come.) Then I cranked up the Kygo, and danced in my kitchen while I waited for my candied bacon to cook because that’s what lunatics people do.
Just try to listen to this track and not do a little dirty dancing of your own.
I dare you.
I double bacon candy dare you.
