After celebrating the new jobs of two of our friends at Jumbo Seafood in Newton MA (I am already thinking of excuses to eat there again in the near future), I had to turn my attention back to the Spoon. I had been meaning to cook this recipe during the week, but it never seemed to happen. As with most slow cooked meats within this recipe collection SS tells us to brown the meat in oil on all sides. After doing so, I added a healthy portion of red wine, some vegetable stock, mustard powder, cloves, pepper, and sugar to a sauce pan and waited for it to boil.
While waiting for the sauce to boil in an extremely tippy copper bottomed pan, I chopped up two green apples and added them to the pork pan. Once the sauce was boiling I combined it with the pork and apples and put the whole thing in the oven. I baked it at 400 degrees for twenty minutes, and then lowered it to 350 degrees for 45 more minutes. It smelled great but I just wasn't hungry. My fiance and I let it sit longer than we should have because of our lack of hunger and it was a little dry. I served it with a green salad and home made dressing.
Unbelievably, there was no butter used in the making of this recipe. Go figure.

I was thinking what could make your blog better and the answer is more bloopers. The formula of "SS said this and I did this and it was great" works but I think you've mastered it so there's little surprise. I'll give it more thought but there needs to be more paragraphs that end with something like "... and then my blouse caught fire". We'll have to figure out how to put you into those situations.
