More recipes for you and yours

Glory be to Bev who gave us a kick in the pants.  I've been trying to think about why I don't post anymore.  Not even on my own blog and I can't figure out why.  I feel like I have nothing new or interesting to say or show.  But it doesn't have to be new or interesting, it just needs to be SOMETHING!    I can do something at least.

So to keep with the recipe theme:
Our Bishop brought over some smoked pork that he smoked in his smoker.  And he had some sauce in a squeeze bottle to go on top of it.  The pork was very good, most smoked meat is.  But the sauce!  Holy Canoli!  I loved it!!  It took the meat to the next level.  So I made some pulled pork in the crockpot and then made this sauce, some potato salad and biscuits.  Oh Mama!  A great break the fast meal.  But let me warn you, this sauce has a kick to it.  A little goes a long way.  Believe me.  It makes about a cup but you don't need much to flavor your meat.  I asked him for the recipe & he said he came up with it himself.  Here it is:

1 cup cider vinegar
2 Tbls. brown sugar
1 tsp. cajun seasoning
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tsp. coarse black pepper
1 tsp. red pepper flakes

Heat the cider vinegar enough to dissolve the brown sugar.  Add remaining ingredients.

I came up with a different kind of potato salad a few years ago.  It's kind of weird, but I like it.  I don't have exact measurments because I just kind of put some of this and some of that.

Cooked, cubed potatoes ( or if you're in a pinch you can use canned whole potatoes and cut them up)
mix together mayonnaise, a tsp. of lime juice, a dash of cayenne pepper, salt and pepper to taste, sliced black olives, sliced green onions.  That's it. 

Happy Fall ya'll!
