"One little piggy lived in a stray house. The wolf huffed and puffed and blew the little piggy house in. One little piggy lived in a log house. The wolf huffed and puffed and blew the little piggy house in. One little piggy lived in a brick house. The wolf huffed and puffed but this little piggy house stood the test of destruction."

- Inspired by The Three Little Pigs

2 packs pigtails 

2 16oz water 

2 tablespoon applecider vinegar 

black pepper (seasoning)

salt (seasoning)

ground turmeric (seasoning)

2 dried basil leaves 

2 garlic cloves

1/2 stick of unsalted butter 

your choice of barbeque sauce 

Rinse pigtails in water. 

Warm your dutch oven pot while you are seasoning the pigtails. 

Season the pigtails with black pepper, salt, and ground turmeric. Season to desired taste. 

After the pigtails are seasoned, put the pigtails, butter, and garlic cloves in the dutch oven pot until seared. 

When the pigtails are seared add water and apple cider vinegar. This is the beginning of a homemade brine!

Add dried basil leaves. Bring brine to a boil. Then, simmer on medium-low for 15 to 25 minutes. 

Next, drain the pigtails with a colander. 

Once the pigtails are drained return the pigtails to the dutch oven pot on low heat.

Add your choice of barbeque sauce. Stir until all pigtails are coated.

Turn heat off when pigtails are completely coated. 

Ready to serve!

Basking In the Wind

 Mango Latté Recipe 

Enjoy a cool mango latté on a smooth easy going day. A mango latté is effortless to make and timeless. If your children like mangos trust me they will enjoy this fun to make recipe. Unless they are mad at you and refuse to even taste, hahahaha. I enjoyed my mango latté as I sat on the porch in my own serenity. ENJOY:

1 can Kesar Mango Pulp (14 oz)

2 egg whites 

1/4 granulated sugar 

1 teaspoon of confectioners sugar 

A pinch of nutmeg 

   

In a medium bowl, pour the Kesar Mango Pulp. stir the Kesar Mango Pulp to separate clumps of pulp found. set aside.

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites on high using an electric mixer (best results). As you are beating the egg whites add the granulated sugar. When you add the granulated sugar you should start to feel a thicken in the egg whites. Beat the egg whites for about 1 1/2 minutes without cease and or according to your preference of homemade whip cream. 

Now for the fun part!

Layers💋Bring your bowl of Kesar Mango Pulp to front and center. Sifter the confectioners sugar on top of the Kesar Mango Pulp to ensure maximum usage of 1 teaspoon. Then, spread the homemade whip cream to layer the top of your Kesar Mango Latté. 

(optional) Sifter additional confectioners sugar for garnish.

Dust the finish touch with a pinch of nutmeg.

Let cool in the refrigerator for 25 minutes before drinking. 

FYI: To imitate a churred topping, combine the confectioners sugar and nutmeg as garnish to finish the drink. Then Refrigerate for 25 minutes before drinking.
