Loving my grill

 I bought a small charcoal grill a while back for Mom and I to enjoy. Nothing fancy, just something we could use on the weekends to make burgers and stuff. 

This past weekend I took a small pork shoulder Mom had in the freezer, marinated it with mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Spanish Mojo, BBQ sauce and herbs and spices. I wrapped the shoulder in tin foil for the first hour of grilling, then removed the foil and let if finish on the direct heat.

I also bought some corn on the cob and soaked them in water for a few hours and placed them on the grill during the last hour of cooking.





I also found some unsalted pork skin which I later tossed into my deep fryer for crispy Chicharrones (Fried pork rinds). I softened some butter in a nearly empty bottle of minced garlic.

 

I let the grill do all the work!



Once done, I slathered the corn with the garlic butter and served up slices of the pork with a side of the fried pork skins!


Simple yet delicious!

En la cocina con mami (In the kitchen with mom)

My mom had a pretty good health scare around Memorial Day Weekend. It scared the whole family actually. There is nothing that makes your heart sink worse than getting a phone call from your brother saying they are headed to the emergency room. Mom looked weak, pale and fragile. She had severe pneumonia and the added stress also led to a mild heart attack. She was placed in ICU but within three days, moved to a regular room for one night and then released. I was planning to visit mom and dad for Memorial Day weekend anyway, but the call ramped me into full gear and soon my three dogs and I were Chattanooga bound. My parents are up there in years, both 89, and up until this incident mom was relatively healthy. Dad too. Luckily the fact that they eat well and live right meant my mom was soon on the road to recovery. My dad and I learned to monitor her medications, prep the nebulizer treatments and make sure her oxygen lines were clear and everything was running smoothly. But mom...
