When Francis and I were in Gainesville, Florida this May, our family friend Wade discovered Francis had never had real barbeque.

Our herb window box is going nuts and the sage is especially lush. I’d like to cook with it more, but am rather stuck for ideas that don’t involve carbs/fat. (I can think of tons of things that involve potatoes or pasta!)
I know it goes nicely with pork, but we don’t eat much pork. Francis’s [...]
