Char Siu Bao

Growing up in Texas, I spent summers at my grandparents' Chinese restaurant in Waco. Day in and day out I was surrounded by typical Chinese-American dishes: sweet and sour pork, chow mein, egg drop soup. One day a week we'd escape to Dallas to get away from what some of our customers would call 'the best Chinese (pronounced chah-neeze) food, better than that stuff they serve in China (again, chah-nuh).' We'd go for dim sum.

In our quest to reach the bottom of the deep freezer before I need it for a wedding cake, Todd pulled a precious pork roast along with two variety cuts - hearts and kidneys - that he'd decided would make fine andouille sausage. It's about this time of year when we start hankering for sausage - and so he cracked open our water-stained copy of Charcuterie and went to town.

I push the button and look around. I'm alone. It's silent except for the passing cars and the occasional station identification from the music they pipe into these places. I hear five clicks and it's my turn to punch the keypad again.

Pig Pooling

For the last three summers, we’ve been lucky enough to buy part of a hand-raised pig from a local farm. Our friends Dave and Rebecca Buchert run the Island Family Farm on Anderson Island, and we’ve been buying meat from them for a happy few years.
