I came across a little problem when I got to the store &#8211; no broccoli rabe! After muttering some swear words in Italian I decided to buy some radicchio, an anaheim chili pepper and some tomatillos and do an Italian\/Mexican fusion style topping. The cashier was quite baffled by the radicchio and tomatillos because even though he works at a supermarket that actually sells them, he&#8217;d never laid eyes on them before. I didn&#8217;t used to encounter this problem\u00a0 in NY and NJ, but I guess these aren&#8217;t ingredients that a lot of the residents of Hudson, Florida cook with.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/lifeinspice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/x_porksandwitch_01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"114\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/lifeinspice.com\/?attachment_id=114\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/lifeinspice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/x_porksandwitch_01.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1800,1221\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D90&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1338403254&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;30&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;800&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.066666666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"x_porksandwitch_01\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/lifeinspice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/x_porksandwitch_01-300x203.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/lifeinspice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/x_porksandwitch_01-1024x694.jpg\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-114\" title=\"x_porksandwitch_01\" src=\"http:\/\/lifeinspice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/x_porksandwitch_01-300x203.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifeinspice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/x_porksandwitch_01-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lifeinspice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/x_porksandwitch_01-1024x694.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lifeinspice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/x_porksandwitch_01.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>So I roasted the pork with only the salt, pepper and olive oil, per Martha&#8217;s recipe and cooked it low and slow. OMG &#8211; so tender, it melted in my mouth!!! Then I did up a relish with the radicchio, tomatillos, chili pepper and garlic by reducing them in some balsamic vinegar&#8230;YUM! The Birthday Boy was very happy!!!<\/p>\n<p>I must &#8216;fess up to one embarrassing error. When I made the sub I used in the photo I forgot the provolone cheese. So after I made a special trip to the store to get provolone cheese and broccoli rabe, I forget to add the cheese and they don&#8217;t have the broccoli rabe &#8211; sigh &#8211; but that&#8217;s cooking in the real world folks, stuff happens and you need to find a way to make it work anyway. It still was a wonderful meal and it showed me a whole new way to do a super tender pork roast.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone should have a very happy Martha Birthday, and if it&#8217;s not your birthday, then have a very merry Martha Un-Birthday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I bring you a very special, cousin Chris&#8217; birthday dinner edition of the Me n&#8217; Martha Project!\u00a0 Since we&#8217;re an Italian family, it made sense to make Chris a Roast Pork Sub Italian Style from page 103 of the &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/lifeinspice.com\/?p=113\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-113","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p77v4L-1P","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeinspice.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeinspice.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeinspice.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeinspice.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeinspice.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=113"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/lifeinspice.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":189,"href":"https:\/\/lifeinspice.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113\/revisions\/189"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeinspice.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=113"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeinspice.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=113"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeinspice.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=113"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
