 | Mystery Diners-This Week-Deanies - Gris Gris on 6/8/13 at 1:56 am I watched the tape. I'm fascinated by the restaurants in New Orleans who are doing this. This is the third one in about a month and the hokiest one yet. I could see the earpiece on the guy playing a waiter trying to catch the manager. They're not even trying to make this look real anymore. ...

ETA: I watched the episode again. The brine was the same except I saw some spring onions in it and he used lime juice, Meyer lemon juice and just put the hal...

 | Lemon Thyme and Lemon Balm Uses - Gris Gris on 5/1/13 at 12:17 pm Yard guy keeps planting lemon thyme instead of English, though he did put some English in this year. I have way more lemon thyme, though. Smells great, tastes great, but I've never used it. I imagine it would be great with fish.
Anyone use lemon thyme regularly and, if so, for what?
ETA: Ad...

 | Bone In Pork Sirloin Roast in a Crock Pot - Gris Gris on 4/22/13 at 2:17 pm I've never cooked this cut before, but I did over the weekend and I like it a lot. Not as fatty as a butt or shoulder or it didn't appear to be to me. There was plenty of fat, but more "solid meat" parts than the other cuts.
I trimmed the thick piece of fat from the top and dusted it in seasone...

 | If You Haven't Been to Casamento's, Just Do It! - Gris Gris on 4/4/13 at 11:08 am Seriously, anyone going to New Orleans or living there should make it a point to go to Casamento's unless you don't eat fried food, oysters on the half shell or chargrilled oysters. In that case, don't go. Keep in mind that it's closed for the summer, so plan accordingly.
When you go, expect to...
