Slow cooked







K. and I pawed through acres of collectibles at the Round Top Flea Market. In the September heat of Texas. Without a shopping cart. Without a clue. When we stopped for a well-deserved lunch break, it was at the crowded Legal Tender Saloon in Warrenton. Ordering at the counter was a lot like the long ago Saturday Night Live Weekend Update for the hearing impaired:

One pulled pork sandwich, please.


W-HUNNN PULLED PORK SANDWICHHHHH!


Oh, um...a cucumber salad, and I guess, one lemon bar.


W-HUNNN CUCUMBER SALADDDDD! W-HUNNN LEMON BARRRR!


Really tasty. Almost worth the hours of staggering around in the relentless heat! After returning to Chicago, I made pulled pork using tenderloin, cooked slowly (3 hours) with apple cider vinegar and red pepper flakes.
