This is why U2 is so awesome.

On July 2nd in Nashville at U2′s latest concert, a blind fan was standing with a sign that read “Blind Guitar Player”. At the end of the concert U2 has the blind fan come up and play with them. Amazing.

Although my favorite contestant Dia Frampton did not win last night I think this was one of the best performances of the night.

Here are the lyrics to this song.

Landslide by Stevie Nicks.

I took my love, I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
Till the landslide brought me down

And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well, the landslide bring it down
Oh, the landslide bring it down

One of my favorite new shows of the year is The Voice. In this video one of the contestants Dia Frampton who is a children’s book writer rocks Kanye’s Heartless. It was brilliant.

I made Green Sauce. Not sure why I made it – I could be wrong but I think its been almost 3 years since I last made Green Sauce.

Green Sauce is something I came up with that is similar to pesto and chimichurri. I started making this before so many recipes were available online. I remember having something like this when I grew up in Argentina. I thought it had parsley and maybe cilantro and some other ingredients. Not being sure of what I made I think someone that had the first batch started calling it the Green Sauce so the name stuck. Now with the internet and blogs and online recipes I think this is closer to chimichurri which is an Argentine condiment that you put on grilled meats.

Back to what I was saying about making the Green Sauce last night. Not sure why I stopped making it – maybe its because Green Sauce reminds me of a different time in my life. Its funny how food is attached to moments in our life. Maybe, I stopped making it because people who had it and liked it started making it on their own. Who knows but I made it last night and it was kinda like sitting down with an old friend you have not seen in a long time. It was nice.

Here is the recipe.

1. A medium bunch of parsley – leaves only. Make sure you thoroughly wash and drain.
2. A medium bunch of cilantro – leaves only. Make sure you thoroughly wash and drain.
3. A 1/4 cup virgin olive oil.
4. A 1/4 cup of red wine vinegar.
5. 3 cloves of garlic. Cloves is pieces not the whole head or bulb. Don’t use anything from a jar.
6. 1/2 a jalapeno – remove the stem and seeds.
7. 4 tablespoons of Kosher salt. Don’t use fine salt.
8. 1/2 cup of cold water.
9. 1 teaspoon of black pepper.
10. A small sprinkle of Greek oregano. Take a sprinkle of oregano and place it in the palm of your hands and rub your palms together like Mr. Miagi. Doing this will give off the fragrance and then add it in to the sauce.

Secret stuff never revealed before.
1. 1 teaspoon of Adobo Goya seasoning.
2. 1 1/2 teaspoon of sugar. (this is important – good food is the ying and yang of salty, sour and sweet)
3. A couple of scrapes of lemon rind.

Put all ingredients except water into a blender or food processor. Then add 1/4 cup of water as you blend or process. Add more water if the mixture starts getting hard to blend. Adjust salt after you have completed the blending.

Thats it – enjoy. If you tried making it – leave a comment below.

Well it is May 21, 2012 and the world is suppose to end – well actually the rapture is suppose to take place. In honor of rapture day – I am putting up REM’s incredible appropriate song “Its The End Of The World And I Feel Fine…” Which I guess is what I feel about all of this end of the world stuff…

Since my brisket came out so well last week I’m trying pulled pork.

One of my friends asked me about a recipe. The recipe is a mixture of an old recipe by Alan Richman from GQ and world famous Dinosaur BBQ’s book page 44. The recipe is fairly easy.

1. One big honkin’ piece of brisket from Walmart.
2. Liberal amounts of kosher or sea salt.
3. Black pepper.
That is it.

What is the most important and what the Dinosaur BBQ book shows you is how to make the fire and the smoke without having to go to Texas or get a huge oil drum and make it into a smoker. This is the most important part.

Texas Brisket Now On The Grill. Another ten hours of being caressed in hickory smoke and it will be great.

Today I’m making Texas Brisket. This will be a long process but the results are so incredible.

I am fighting the urge to get me a bumper sticker that says “My child is an honor student”.

Where do you get a bumper sticker like this?

Do they give you one after my son gets his Honor Society secret decoder ring or does it come in a packet in the mail?

If you have two vehicles in the home do you get 2 stickers?

Can you ask for stickers that color coordinate with your vehicle?

Is there a certificate that you have to carry around just in case we get pulled over by the Honor Society Police?

Should I ask for the short and long form version of the Honor Society Certificate of Honorship just in case my son’s Honor Society status is ever questioned?

When you see other vehicles with an Honor Society bumper sticker do you honk and wave or just go by and nod with a raised fist of solidarity?

Do they make Honor Society bumper stickers that can double as EZ-Passes?

Can you get better or reduced rate parking at National Museums?

So many questions…
