Wearing of the Green – a bit of Irish Folk Lore

What are fairies – little whispers of the future.

A bit of folklore or not?

In Ireland two distinct fairy types exist—the trooping fairies and the solitary fairies. You will find the trooping fairies in merry bans about the hawthorn tree or at feasts in gilded fairy palaces. They delight in company, while the solitary fairies avoid large gatherings, preferring alone and separate from one another.

The trooping faeries are the major and presiding residents of fairyland; but the solitary ones (leprechauns, selkies, banshees, merrows, etc…) have greater interest in mortal affairs and therefore are generally more familiar to us. Their favorite foods are pea soup, ham and cabbage, with bit of stout and some lovely scones or biscuits…

Fairies exist all over the world. In Ireland they are the ’sidhe’ (pronounced shee), a name they have retained from the ancient days. Look under bushes and circles of stones that crop up all over Ireland—called fairy raths and you will find trooping faeries. The fairy raths crop up in pastures all over Ireland, and the farmers never plow them up for fear of disturbing the fairies that live there and bringing down some bad luck upon themselves.

If you want your children to be brilliant, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be geniuses, read them more fairy tales. ~Albert Einstein

It’s Crocktober!

We make our signature dish with fresh garlic!

Whisk and Spoon Bourbon Pulled Pork

Time to pull out the crock pot. This Whisk and Spoon signature dish uses trimmed boneless pork shoulder. It cooks long and slow in your crockpot with our homemade Kentucky Bourbon BBQ sauce until it is tender and falling apart. Our secret ? Use plenty of fresh garlic gloves kept whole…

Ingredients

Trim up 1.5 pounds of pork shoulder and cut up in large pieces (3 or 4) and place in a large freezer storage bag.

Add to bag:

2 cups ketchup
¼ cup tomato paste
1/3 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoon liquid smoke
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
½ cup packed brown sugar
3 to 4 drops of hot pepper sauce
1 garlic bulb (break apart the glove & keep whole)
1 small onion – chopped fine
1/2 cup bourbon (drinkable)

Squish it all together and lay flat in your freeze until game day. Thaw in fridge and empty bag of pork and BBQ sauce in crock-pot. Cover and cook for 6-8 hours on low or 4 – 5 hours on high. Remove pork from crock-pot and place in dish. Take two forks and pull apart pork to shred. Add as much BBQ sauce as you wish. Serve with slaw and cornbread.
