Based on a recommendation by partsbara, I picked up some La Trappe at my local brew store today... I wish it came in a bigger bottle a'la Chimay. I was also temped to buy a bottle of Monty Python's Holy Grail Ale... maybe next time.

Feast ye peepers:

I always have the opportunity to go to Louisiana for work, but have been very reluctant. Maybe I can con N8 into cooking and sharing his booze if I decide to go.

Are there some hills down there?

My girlfriends family is from New Orleans. Got to love the cooking from those parts.

We have some hills in the northern part where I'm at. I am about 3 hrs from Dallas and 5 hrs from Nawlins...

that's a pretty nice work-around...we were expressly forbidden to bring any booze back in our shipment from ireland...not that we would have; it was cheaper to buy stuff (even irish whiskey, as long as you could find it) in the states.

nate, were those shoulder (ie, 'gigot') chops?

i've had a chinese food (takeaway and leftovers) the last two days...time to cook some real food tonight.

one last question N8; is that issue of Cooks a new one? i've not seen it yet.

Yes and yes.

I thought about adding a hint of fresh mint to the rub but MizN8 only planted peppermint and spearmint in the garden so I passed. As it turned out, the fresh rosemary was flavorful enough and no one missed it one bit. In fact it may have been too much.

It's too bad you can't bring about a pound of that "special Dutch parsley" back with you.;)
