Pork Chile Verde
The tomatillo is a plant of the nightshade family, related to the Cape gooseberry, bearing small, spherical and green or green-purple fruit of the same name. Tomatillos originated in Mexico, and are a staple of that country's cuisine. The fruit is surrounded by an inedible, paper-like husk.

Long Lake Lentil Salad
This recipe comes from my friend Jacki. She calls it Long Lake Salad. Du Puy lentils or French green lentils were originally grown in the volcanic soils of Puy in France, but now they're also grown in North America and Italy. They're especially good in salads since they remain firm after cooking and have a rich flavor. They cook a bit slower than other lentils. I used golden raisins and dried apricots instead of currants and added goat cheese and toasted walnuts.

Baby Back Ribs
Baby Back Ribs - I asked my good friend Dave (who is a rib connoisseur) to test this rib recipe for me. I was watching Restaurant Impossible with Robert Irvine and he made these ribs. It was really the method he used that I was interested in. I have made ribs many different ways, but he swears by this method. You can use your own rub recipe and your favorite BBQ sauce, but I have Robert Irvine's recipe below. Dave used Famous Dave's Devil's Spit BBQ Sauce. He said they were excellent. We have adapted this recipe by adjusting the timing and temperature.
