SHANGHAI RUBBED PIG'S MEAT

 
A TABLESPOON OF 'SHANGHAI RUB'....(IODIZED SALT, GARLIC SLICES, CHILLI PEPPER AND CURRY POWDER) SPRINKLED ONTO BOTH SIDES OF THE RAW FLESH, THEN COOKED IN AN IRON SKILLET, WITH AVOCADO OIL UNTIL DEEPLY CARMELIZED....THEN DEGLAZED WITH COGNAC...PROVED TO BE WAAY TOO SALTY FOR MY PALATTE....SO, I WASHED MUCH OF THE 'RUB' AND SALTY, REDUCED WINE, UNDER RUNNING TAP WATER, AND DRIED IT WITH A TOWEL.....RETURNED IT TO THE STILL HOT SKILLET, FLUSHING IT WITH WORCESTER SAUCE AND SOME RED WINE....AGAIN, REDUCING THE LIQUID TO A SAUCE......STILL, A BIT 'SALTIER'  THAN I WOULD HAVE LIKED....BUT, TASTY ENOUGH WITH A BOWL OF WILD RICE.....AND A CUP OF GREEN TEA......

  a visit, yesterday afternoon, to what used to be Loehmann's Plaza......now, renamed a more 'fashionable' Brighten Park...brought about a 'dinner stop' at "Eataliano-Kitchen-Atlanta", where our waitress insured us that this was the 'best Italian restaurant in Atlanta'........The food was a bit disgusting, however....... I asked "Are your chicken wings as good as the ones at Thaicoon...down the street? "...... So, minutes later a plate of greasy, underseasoned 'wings' appeared, accompanied by some wilted, tasteless 'celery sticks' and rubbery 'carrot sticks' and a bowl of el cheapo ranch dressing.....the 'commercial' kind that comes in those huge plastic jars..........ugh!......then come the desserts.......my dinner companion had a sugary chocolate brownie...made, of course, from a commercial mix.....(add water and, maybe, an egg and a cup of saturated liquid fat......probably corn oil), dump on some
