So I made the pancetta Brussels sprouts with a couple exceptions. I had to substitute macadamia nuts for the chestnuts (BIG mistake...) and salted pork belly for pancetta (BIGGER mistake...), but, all in all it was okay. It was my first attempt, and, as I sat in my chair and tossed the pork belly, I realized something. I need a bigger skillet. I had to transfer everything to a saucepan, and it caused the sprouts to fall apart a bit, because I had to stir instead of toss, and also, the macadamias didn't toast off properly. Also needed a hand grater to grate the lemon zest, and Brooke had to cut the pork for me because A) The knives we have suck, and B) My hands are useless for fine motor skill requiring functions...*sigh* The point here is I need a lot more equipment, and I'm starting to be afraid, a new body to actually pull this off, lol. We shall see. Keep me in your prayers, and...
Jesus Loves You and So Do I!
