Meatocracy Rules
With the dire times we're currently living in, it's more important than ever to express your rights in our glorious Meatocracy. Make a vote for meat by leaving a comment letting me know what you'd like to see or eat this weekend at the final Meatwave of the season, Yes Meat Can. Working together, I'm confident the Meatwave will be triumphant!

Penultimeat
It's a sad time of year, the Meatwave is winding down, with only one left of the season now. To make the most of the time we have left together, I made sure that Penultimeat was a huge porky feast. No one does pork like the Filipinos, so I went to the store, bought a 9lb pork shoulder and divided up into 3 different Filipino treats.

(Sans)Tandoori Chicken
Indian is one cuisine I have rarely attempted to make at home. Since the closest grocery to my house abounds with Indian specialties, I always feel like I should be cooking it, but Indian recipes' lists of ingredients and procedures usually tend to be prohibitive, especially with such an inexpensive and delicious Indian restaurant only blocks away. Contemplating a move in the new year, I thought I should take advantage of the access I have to these spices and pastes and learn how to cook some of my Indian favorites. The grill, of course, was the first place I started.

Meatier than Thou
Due to a trip deep into the heart of Texas, among other scheduling obstacles, it had been four long weeks since the last meatwave. With this unacceptable lapse in time, it was imperative to bring the meat on in full force this past Sunday to ensure our winter withdrawal didn't set in early. So I set out not only to keep the good times coming, but also to prove that we all are truly Meatier than Thou.

Sweet! Potato Salad
With a cold rain currently falling outside and 4 previous days of high temperatures below 80 degrees, it's time to face facts, fall is upon us. Although the summer harvest is still kicking for a couple more weeks, I think it's about time we settle into reality and look to the months ahead. Possibly the most exciting part of this change for me, aside from the upcoming election (yes, it is possible to stare at an election map for three hours straight), is the sweet potato's return to my regular diet.
