Garlic and Rosemary Pork Roast

I got this hunk of meat for sandwiches and other endeavors and I figured the easiest thing to do would be to rub it down in some sort of mixture and slow cook it in the oven. If you don't have the time to slow cook it, don't make it. It will be dry and tasteless, just like your personality. Let's begin: Finely dice up two large sprigs of fresh rosemary (discard the stems, stupid), mince eight cloves of garlic, and smash it all up with some salt and olive oil until you get a sticky paste.
Put your slab of pork (mine was 2.75lbs) in a baking dish and rub your paste all over that bitch. Make sure it is fat side up.

Put it in the oven at 450 deg for 10 minutes, lower it to 250 deg and let it cook for about an hour and twenty minutes. The general rule is 30 min a pound. Let it sit for at least 15 min before cutting into it. If the flavor is too strong for you (sissy), you can scrape the paste off and the flavor will still remain but it will be more subdued. Eat it.

Shit I Made That You Don't Give a Rat's Ass About

Hey losers. Here is some of the garbage I have made over the last month or two. Nothing special to see here. Let's begin:
This is so stupid easy you will finally be able to put your George Foreman grill back on the shelf. Toss some red potatoes and whole peeled cloves of garlic in olive oil and salt & pepper. Arrange as seen above and top with whole rosemary sprigs. 400 for 30 min (toss potatoes halfway through). Remove fish from dish. Toss potatoes and return to oven for another 10-15 min.
This is a pineapple-chipotle salsa that was pretty fucking sweet. I don't really remember how I made it but it had brown sugar and vinegar in it I think. I also cooked it and added the tomatoes at the end. Fuck, I wish I remembered how to make this.

This was just a sandwich I made with with bomb ass ham I got at this Bavarian joint. It was unreal.

Oh yeah! I made these scotch eggs that made me shit a brick. I just wrapped a hard boiled egg in seasoned ground pork, rolled it in bread crumbs and deep fried it. I made four of them.

I broiled this steak and it turned out pretty well. I think I will continue to broil my steaks when cooking them indoors. That sauce is like a sour cream and horseradish thing but it looks like I chopped up pickles or some shit and put them in there . The red beans and rice were courtesy of Zataran's.

I had this applewood smoked ham I got from New Seasons and I was loving it in sandwiches but I thought I would toss some in a quiche. I mean, why the fuck not? Looks like I used cream cheese and green onions as compliments.

For the 9,000th time here is some blacked catfish. Always turns out perfect.

I had a bunch of leftover buffalo bolognese and I used it as the base for a pizza. It was actually incredible. I would highly suggest it.

For the 10,000th time here are some fucking crab cakes. Always turns out perfect.

I got these chicken wings and I used the buffalo shrimp technique on them. Delicious.
So that's what you missed. Dissapointed?
Good.
Eat it.
