With all this North Carolina talk going on around these parts, it'd be a disservice not to have sides with that, and when I think North Carolina barbecue, hush puppies are right up there with slaw as a must have on each plate. As a kid growing up in suburban Virginia, hush puppies were exclusively found in seafood establishments, and were the only redeeming part of them in my mind. This led me to think of hush puppies as lone wolves—the only thing edible from our otherwise horrendous outings to Red Lobster and Long John Silver's. It wasn't until I had them next to some chopped pork that they were reinvented in my mind as one of the greatest barbecue sides out there.

How I love to lament the state of Mexican and Tex-Mex in NYC. Seriously, it's pretty atrocious. Luckily, being married to a Texan, I get my fair share of the good stuff throughout the year, but while not under those big, bright shining stars, Mexican is almost strictly a home cooking venture. Besides a few of the more authentic Mexican joints near my office in NY, I rarely ever see tomatillo salsa—which is always served right next to the red stuff in TX—and that's a down right shame. This is like the crack of salsas—once you have some, it's pretty futile to ever try to get yourself off of it.

It's been over a year since my last recipe post, and what do I go and do for the first post returning this blog to form, toss out the grill and take to the fryer! Don't worry, barbecue and grilling is on the menu, but I recently let you Meatwavers decide what you would like to see at the Meatwave, and a side of fried pickles was unanimously choosen, with one loyal reader asking to see the process. In the interest of giving the people what they want, I proudly present to you the fried pickle.

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.

It happens almost every summer, it comes closer to the end of the season and I start wondering where it all went. In a mad dash to fit in as much fun into these fleeting days, I find myself less and less plopping down in front of the computer, choosing instead to be bad to my blog in pursuit of all else that I had neglected during the prior months. Since time is such a commodity for me this time of year, I've also found ways to cut the time I spend in the kitchen, without giving it up completely, starting with this quick and delicious recipe for Tangy Pit Beans.
