Butt Stains
As mentioned in the previous post, I've recently taken up the fine Art (note the capital A) of North Carolina barbecue - slow and low, smoked to pieces, tender as a mother's love, aw hell yeah. The preferred cut of pork for barbecue is called a Boston Butt, hence the title, though it actually comes from the shoulder region of a pig. Thanks to the generous donation of a Weber smoker by my former housemate Mr. Jason Alexander Bissey (Chef at Rue Cler), I'm able to spend upwards of 14 hours at a time devoted to craft of creating perfectly pulled pork to pile high on a bun and smother in cole slaw. Sweet Jesus is it good.
UNC Press recently published a facinating book on the subjet Holy Smoke: The Big Book of North Carolina Barbecue if you'd like to learn more.

Chicken Shit Bingo

The first time I witnessed chicken shit bingo was at a sweet honky tonk called Ginny's Little Longhorn in Austin, TX (short film). I had just endured four long days of intense live music at SXSW and the three hours spent at Ginny's sippn' Lone Star far exceeded all of that. So when some funds needed to be raised for Ms. K's trip to Italy to attend Terra Madre - we thought this would be a delightful way to spend an afternoon - listening to fine bluegrass music by Rob and Mary D of the New River Rock Skippers while breaking several laws gambling with friends and eating some delightful BBQ made by yours truly.
Mr. George graciously loaned us two of his finest hens from his Lil' Farm out on Arthur Minus Rd., so if you happen to shop at the Durham Farmer's Market, do stop by his stand and show your appreciation.

Yes We Can

Barack Obama
Senator from Illinois
President Elect
Acceptance Speech, Grant Park, Chicago, IL. Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2008
The protection of democracy and freedom should be journalism's highest aim. In my lifetime, I've never experienced a better example of a healthy, functioning democratic system than this election. The system has never been perfect, but this was a masterful revision.
But seriously, what the hell am I talking about? The liberal media has always loved an election; ref., http://stuffjournalistslike.com/
Here's what Mr. Lange and I found round the way on Tuesday.
The day after we pieced together a slideshow with the work of two other photographers, Eric Kaufman and Jenny Warburg.
