Ok so I haven’t blogged in a while but it’s certainly not for lack of subject matter. We are living in the truly historic times; times that our grandchildren will ask us with wonder what it was like to be alive then.
After stepping back from the brink of what appeared to be economic oblivion on a global scale, America is remaking herself… she is engaged in the most epic make-over which started with the election of Barack Obama and was punctuated with the passage of the health-care bill, both monumental historic events.
Blogging about the fantastic meal I had at Dinosaur BBQ in Harlem a couple of days ago just seems too trivial for these times. I mean President Obama is signing nuclear disarmament treaties, Supreme Court Justice Stevens is stepping down and the Stock market is moving into really strong territory again but all I can think about is that brisket, chicken and ribs that was smoked to perfection before being slow cooked and anointed with a savory thick sauce that was the very definition BBQ. Add to that mix a Cajun style potato salad, delicious mac and cheese and some baked beans that would make any western cook sing it’s praises and you got a meal that ranks up there with world events.
If cowboys ate like this the West would have been lost not won because they would all be fat and sleeping. Oh… did I mention the cheese-cake that came with a separate container of whiskey caramel sauce to drizzle over it. MMMMmmm.
What a meal, and sharing it with friends just made it all the more enjoyable. I’m going to tell this story often to my grandkids.
