I wanted more flavor, something a bit more exotic and enticing. This recipe for pork shoulder is a slow [...]
We are working hard over at Chez Us with implementing some new things on the site. Trying to iron out schedules now, so bare with us while we neatly tie up some loose ends. You may or may not know that I (Denise) have been doing some recipe development for a few fine folks. One [...]
