so a week ago, the weather was BEAUTIFUL, and the lovely three-day memorial weekend was about to begin, and so i stopped off at whole foods on my way home from work to start the weekend on a good note. and i filled my cart up with delicious delicious fruits. and then i saw corn, and it looked so so good and was 3 ears for $1. 3 ears. $1. absurd, right? so i bought some. and then i went over to the meat counter, because i wanted to try this lamb recipe i found a few weeks ago. but they didnt have the cut i wanted, and so instead....i decided to get some pork, to make pulled pork! again, a first for me. but it was JUST PERFECT for throwing in the slow cooker saturday morning before going out for the day. throw that together with my cucumber and tomatoes from the farm share, and we have a perfect summer meal!
the corn...was probably the best corn i have had in a long time. didnt need butter, didnt need salt, it was just fresh goodness. i think it is going to be a corn summer for me, it is so simple. reminds me of my first weekend in sydney, 3 years ago (man that was so long ago!) when we went down to bondi beach, and there was a little festival going on, and they were selling corn on the cob on a stick. amazing. and did you know that blue ribbon sells bbq sauce? it does! which is quite tasty when you make pulled pork with it. not as good as stamey's though. sometimes i want to go visit my uncle and grandma down south, JUST so i can get some stamey's. yum! i topped this meal off with some white sangria - apple and watermelon and white cran peach and white wine and yum yum yum.
