This meal wasn't exactly what it would have been had we been in the states, but it hit the spot. My husband is very homesick right now and without knowing it he prepared a cure for dinner. He asked me for a roast when I went to the store Sat. night and pork shoulder was on sale so I got that. Plus I know it is Garrett's favorite. Sunday morning he made a BBQ rub for it (from our newest Jamie cookbook-"Jamie's America"), braised it in a pan and put it in the crockpot. When we got home from church Sunday afternoon I made our favorite Jamie Oliver salad to go with it and some rice with olive oil, salt and pepper, garlic, ginger, and a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg. It tasted wonderful with the pork.
This meal was not just yummy it was great comfort food that made G feel less homesick. He likes it here, but is also feeling very homesick for all the comforts, food, and people at home.
This is G's Jamie picture. Jamie's photographer takes lots of pictures of half eaten plates of food that somehow look really fantastic.
