         The life and times of Mark and Paula Persons
 
Monday, June 10, 2013:

It all started with the Thursday, June 6th edition of the Brainerd Dispatch newspaper. 

There it was, a recipe by Diane Hoglin for pulled pork sandwiches.

The interesting part is that the pork was to be slow cooked in root beer.


Chef Paula

  
Chef Paula took to the idea right away.

After cooking in a Crockpot for most of the day, the root beer was poured off and the meat separated into nice size chunks.
 
She put plenty of BBQ sauce on and let the pork cook some more.
 
That gave her time to prepare watermelon.

It is a real favorite with Paula especially in the summer.
 
Paula had picked up some very interesting bread/sandwich rolls.

They were more dense than regular bread and somewhat rectangular shaped.

Sliced down the center, they were perfect to hold pulled pork.
 
On the plate with a summer salad, it was terrific.

Anyone who says you can't buy happiness, hasn't dined at Gilbert Lodge.
Quote of the day:  Chef Paula did it again.   Mark    < Back to previous story Ahead to next story >
