This is a guest posting from some Dutch colleagues on a new online experiment in fostering dialogue on climate change. Bart Verheggen has asked us to host this quick introduction. We are interested to hear if you think this is a good idea.
Guest Commentary by Bart Strengers (PBL)
ClimateDialogue.org offers a platform for discussions between invited climate scientists on important climate topics that have been subject to scientific and public debate. The goal of the platform is to explore the full range of views currently held by scientists by inviting experts with different views on the topic of discussion. We encourage the invited scientists to formulate their own personal scientific views; they are not asked to act as representatives for any particular group in the climate debate.
Obviously, there are many excellent blogs that facilitate discussions between climate experts, but as the climate debate is highly polarized and politicized, blog discussions between experts with opposing views are rare.
The discovery, early 2010, of a number of errors in the Fourth IPCC Assessment Report on climate impacts (Working Group II), led to a review of the processes and procedures of the IPCC by the InterAcademy Council (IAC). The IAC-report triggered a debate in the Dutch Parliament about the reliability of climate science in general. Based on the IAC recommendation that 'the full range of views' should be covered in the IPCC reports, Parliament asked the Dutch government 'to also involve climate skeptics in future studies on climate change'.
In response, the Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment announced a number of projects that are aimed to increase this involvement. ClimateDialogue.org is one of these projects.
We are starting ClimateDialogue with a discussion on the causes of the decline of Arctic Sea Ice, and the question to what extent this decline can be explained by global warming. Also, the projected timing of the first year that the Arctic will be ice free will be discussed. With respect to the latter, in its Fourth Assessment Report in 2007, IPCC anticipated that (near) ice free conditions might occur by the end of this century. Since then, several studies have indicated this could be between 2030-2050, or even earlier.
We invited three experts to take part in the discussion: Judith Curry, chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology; Walt Meier, research scientist at the National Snow & Ice Data Center (NSIDC) in Boulder, Colorado; and Ron Lindsay, Senior Principal Physicist at the Polar Science Center of the University of Washington in Seattle.
Future topics that will be discussed include: climate sensitivity, sea level rise, urban heat island-effects, the value of comprehensive climate models, ocean heat storage, and the warming trend over the past few decades.
Our format
Each discussion will be kicked off by a short introduction written by the editorial staff, followed by a guest blog by two or more invited scientists. The scientists will start the discussion by responding to each other's arguments. It is not the goal of ClimateDialogue to reach a consensus, but to stimulate the discussion and to make clear what the discussants agree or disagree on and why. To round off the discussion on a particular topic, the ClimateDialogue editor will write a summary, describing the areas of agreement and disagreement between the discussants. The participants will be asked to approve this final article, the discussion between the experts on that topic will then be closed and the editorial board will open a new discussion on a different topic.
The public (including other climate scientists) are also free to comment, but for practical reasons these comments will be shown separately.
The project organization consists of an editorial staff of three people and an advisory board of seven people, all of whom are based in the Netherlands. The editorial staff is concerned with the day-to-day operation of researching topics, finding participants for the discussion and moderating the discussions between the experts. The main task of the advisory board is to guard the neutrality of the platform and to advise the editorial staff about its activities
The project leader is Rob van Dorland of the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI), a senior scientist and climate advisor in the Climate Services section and is often active at the interface between science and society. The second member is Bart Strengers. He is a climate policy analyst and modeler in the IMAGE-project at the PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL) and has been involved in the discussion with climate skeptics for many years. The third member is Marcel Crok, an investigative science writer, who published a critical book (in Dutch) about the climate debate.
We welcome comments here and are happy to answer any questions regarding this project. You can also send an email to info [at] climatedialogue [dot] org.

I tried using getmxrr() to validate the domain portion of email addresses in enquiry submission forms, and there is a curious effect with some top-level domains when checking non-existant domains.
With sdlkfjsdl.com, since the domain does not exist, getmxrr() returns false, as expected, and the returned mxhosts array is empty.
But with sdlkfjsdl.gov, getmxrr() returns true, and the returned mxhosts array contains one element: NULL
With sdlkfjsdl.org, getmxrr() returns true, and the returned mxhosts array contains one element: '0.0.0.0'
With sdlkfjsdl.co.uk, getmxrr() returns true and supplies one MX record: uk-net-wildcard-null-mx.centralnic.net
So to validate the email domain, it would seem one has to check the returned mxhosts array to exclude the possibility of mxhosts being returned as NULL, 0.0.0.0 and wildcard ...

At a White House event with children who wrote him letters after the Dec. 14 school shooting in Newtown, Conn., President Obama today said the nation cannot wait any longer to do what can be done to reduce gun violence.
He unveiled a series of executive actions and calls for legislation that is sure to spark sharp debate in Washington. The steps he's taking, as expected, include calling on Congress to pass legislation banning "military-style assault weapons" and expanding background checks for gun buyers. He also announced 23 executive actions — such as "legal barriers in health laws that prevent some states from making information available about those prohibited from having guns" — that don't require Congressional action.
The president's various measures, the White House estimates, would cost about $500 million to implement. The Washington Post calls them "the most expansive gun-control policies in generations." They would be "the most sweeping changes to gun laws in nearly two decades," says the Wall Street Journal.
"Gun rights advocates," as NPR's Scott Horsley says, "have already promised stiff resistance." Even before the White House event, the National Rifle Association was calling the president an "elitist hypocrite."
While Obama promised to "put everything I've got into this," he also said that "pundits and politicians" will fight his proposals and claim he's waging an "all-out assault on liberty."
"The only way we can [get] change is if the American people demand it," he said. Americans, added Obama, need to "stand up and say 'enough.' "
The president also said that he has no wish to infringe on Americans' Second Amendment rights, but is taking "common sense measures that have the support of the majority of American people."
Vice President Biden, who joined the president at the midday event, lead the task force that developed the plan. The effort was launched in the days after the mass shooting at Newtown's Sandy Hook Elementary School.
We live blogged as the announcement was made and afterward.
Update at 12:45 p.m. ET. Key Points Of The Plan:
-- Obama is calling on Congress to pass legislation to "reinstate and strengthen the ban on assault weapons" that was in place from 1994 to 2004.
-- He wants a law passed to prohibit the sale of ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.
-- The administration says "Congress should finish the job of protecting law enforcement and the public by banning the possession of armor-piercing ammunition by, and its transfer to, anyone other than the military and law enforcement."
-- The federal government is taking executive action "to provide incentives for schools to hire school resource officers."
-- "The Departments of Education, Justice, Health and Human Services, and Homeland Security will release — by May 2013 — a set of model, high-quality emergency management plans for schools, houses of worship, and institutions of higher education, along with best practices for developing these plans and training students and staff to follow them."
-- An increase in efforts to "reach 750,000 young people through programs to identify mental illness early and refer them to treatment. ... The administration is calling for a new initiative, Project AWARE (Advancing Wellness and Resilience in Education), to provide this training and set up systems to provide these referrals."
-- Obama is directing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other federal scientific agencies "to conduct research into the causes and prevention of gun violence." Congress has in recent years barred those agencies from using federal funds to "advocate or promote gun control." The White House argues that "research on gun violence is not advocacy; it is critical public health research."
Later today, our colleague Liz Halloran will be reporting about what's likely to happen to the president's initiative — particularly the legislation he'd like to see.
Update at 12:25 p.m. ET. White House Statements:
-- Summaries of the 23 executive actions.
-- A "fact sheet" on the president's plan.
-- A broader look at the plan.
Update at 12:16 p.m. ET. "Let's Do The Right Thing":
Speaking of those killed in recent mass shootings and those who try to protect Americans from such harm, the president ends his remarks by saying "let's do the right thing ... for them and for this country that we love so much."
Then, he sits down to sign the 23 executive actions.
Update at 12:10 p.m. ET. American People Must Demand Change:
While he vows to "put everything I've got into this," Obama also says that "pundits and politicians" will fight his proposals and claim he's waging an "all-out assault on liberty."
"The only way we can [get] change is if the American people demand it," he says. Americans, adds Obama, need to "stand up and say 'enough.' "
Update at 12:07 p.m. ET. Universal Background Checks, Ban On Assault Weapons And 10-Round Limit On Magazines:
The president calls on Congress to pass legislation that resurrects the expired ban on sale of assault weapons, puts a 10-round limit on ammunition magazines and creates a system of "universal background checks" — closing the so-called gun show loophole. "You should at least have to show you are not a felon or somebody legally prohibited from buying" a gun, he says.
Update at 12:04 p.m. ET. The Executive Actions:
The president begins to talk of the 23 executive actions he's taking today. They include support for schools that want to hire "resource officers" and develop emergency plans. And he's telling the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to study the causes of gun violence.
Update at 12:02 p.m. ET. "We Can't Put This Off Any Longer":
Saying that "every day we wait," more Americans will be killed in gun-related incidents, the president says "we can't put this off any longer."
Update at 11:54 a.m. ET. "20 Beautiful First Graders":
Biden begins with words about those killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School, and he thanks the family members who have come to the White House today for the announcement.
Those killed at the school were "20 beautiful first graders gunned down in a place that's supposed to be their second sanctuary," Biden says, and six adults who were trying to protect them.
The nation, he adds, has a "moral obligation" to do what can be done to prevent another such attack.
Update at 11:51 a.m. ET: The White House Event Has Begun.

Free Fight
"I think a lot of Brazilian MMA fans know who I am now, but I hope to acquire more exposure there. At UFC Rio would be terrific." - Mario Miranda
The first time the name Mario Miranda popped up back in 2010 for his UFC Fight Night match against Gerald Harris, a blitz from the media took place in order to dig up enough information about him. The power of Google helped a lot, mainly with his record, previous titles and the academy which the "previously unknown Brazilian" was training in. But it was not an easy task to go in-depth into Miranda's story without a face-to-face conversation.
Miranda made the move from Brazil to the USA without thinking about a bright MMA future. He had a gold medal in the South American wrestling championships 11 years ago, a feat which didn't make him famous in Brazil or bring any extra attention. So before his UFC debut, all the wrestler and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt dreamed about was getting some recognition in his motherland.
Yet now, leading up to his fourth UFC fight, against fellow wrestler Aaron 'A-Train' Simpson on this weekend's UFC Fight Night card, Miranda enjoys plenty of prestige in his country, even though he doesn't live there anymore. These days, it's easy to find articles in the local and mainstream media newspapers talking about the native of Niteroi and his fights in the world's premier MMA organization. It's something he's waited for, and now he's having fun with it.
"Seeing it (the publicity) unfolding is funny; I think I'm famous where I live now (Washington), and in other places people look at me, and they recognize me, but don't know from where," he said. "I think a lot of Brazilian MMA fans know who I am now, but I hope to acquire more exposure there. At UFC Rio would be terrific."
So the wish is the same as before, but with a different view. He's received such recognition even though he has fought twice on the undercard while compiling a far from stellar 1-2 in the UFC. And while he became a familiar face after destroying former middleweight title challenger David Loiseau in two rounds, Miranda also saw the doubters come out when he got beaten by decision at the hands of another former 185-pound title challenger, Demian Maia. Now it bears pointing out that Miranda faced Maia on short notice, replacing Alan Belcher, but there's a price to pay to swim with the sharks, and what he paid was seeing the small holes of his game exposed.
"I don't want to take any credit away from Maia," he said. "But the short notice influenced my game plan, plus I didn't get a good conditioning program with two weeks of preparation. Maia has a different style of pulling guard and it's uncommon to adapt to in such a short time. Perhaps, if I had more weeks, I could be looser and follow the planned strategy."
On the other hand, fighting on short notice showed that he was on call when a last minute injury could harm the card. And in case of 'Super' Mario, the result was a renewal of his UFC contract after the unanimous decision defeat.
"I believe the UFC sees my potential, and I'll always come to fight. I accepted the short notice fight and I think it's important to be considered loyal to the company."
If Mario couldn't use his "Super Powers" in a short notice fight, we can expect, at least, a lot better fighter for his middleweight duel this weekend against Simpson. Knowing about the fight since the end of last year, Miranda could spend his time completely focusing on the upcoming match, as he worked on many aspects of MMA in order to avoid the assumption that this will be a wrestling match involving North and South America.
"I was able to take time off and then go back to training, so I started my preparation early," Super Mario said. "Wrestling was a part of my preparation, but not exactly the focus. I want to win the fight convincingly trading punches, grappling, or with ground and pound. I know he's an excellent wrestler with heavy hands, but I think I'm better technically, and conditioning could be the X factor for this contest."
Seen training with 185 kingpin Anderson 'The Spider' Silva before his last fight, Miranda couldn't repeat the sparring with his fellow Brazilian, but not because Silva didn't bring much luck cornering the shredded 'Super' Mario, but due to the location of the training and the specialties of Simpson.
"Silva prepared himself for UFC 126 in Rio de Janeiro, and Simpson has a very different style of the majority of the guys who train in Black House in Los Angeles," said Miranda, who promises a stellar effort. "Both of us need this victory, my determination won't fade, and we have everything here to make an excellent fight."

Every sheet of our stunning Japanese Chiyogami paper is meticulously produced by hand. The individual layers of colour are silkscreened on one by one requiring careful registration of screens. The base paper is a combination of kozo and sulphite and the pigments used are fade resistant resulting in a strong, soft and versatile decorative paper ideal for many different applications!
To learn more about how Chiyogami is made, click here.
Chiyogami, which means thousand generation (chiyo) paper (gami), was developed in Japan during the Edo Period (1603-1867). The fashionable kimono textiles being produced in the Yuzen area of Kyoto inspired the papermakers to produce small-scale paper imitations intended for use on dolls and tiny household items, such as tea tins. Many of the patterns contain highly symbolic imagery, such as cranes for long life and plum blossoms and pine boughs for beauty and longevity.
Our Chiyogami papers, like fabrics, are stored in bolts. They will easily flatten out when rolled in the opposite direction.

It is the toughest unit in the toughest prison in California and one of the toughest in the country. The security housing unit at Pelican Bay prison is home to convicts who, along with their largely violent crimes, are suspected of being part of California's ruthless prison gangs, gangs that hurt and kill in prison and control all kinds of illegal activity inside.
Conditions in the SHU, as it's called, are harsh. A hunger strike now is in its third week and its calling for reforms and limits on how long prisoners can be kept in isolation, and the state is making changes. Corrections officials are working to move some prisoners out of the SHU. Michael Montgomery of member station KQED, along with the Center for Investigative Reporting, met some of the prisoners who just emerged from years of isolation.
MICHAEL MONTGOMERY, BYLINE: In a classroom at a state prison in Corcoran, deep in California's Central Valley, 14 inmates are sitting around me in a semi-circle. The men seem relaxed, but many of the faces are washed out, the results of years in windowless lockup units.
SERGIO: Have you seen the cartoon where the little mouse comes out of a hole and he just, like, be all disoriented? That's how we feel right now, you know.
MONTGOMERY: That's Sergio. Like all the men here, he asked that I only use his first name out of concern that other inmates might retaliate for speaking to a reporter. Sergio is 53 and is originally from Southern California. He spent a total of 21 years isolated in a special security unit, mainly at Pelican Bay State Prison, which is at the center of the inmate hunger strike.
SERGIO: I'm still trying to figure out how to associate with people. It's all kind of strange, you know. It's gonna take a little while to get used to.
GEORGE: Being in the cell by yourself with all that time, if you're not doing nothing, yeah, your mind can start playing games on you.
MONTGOMERY: George spent a total of 17 years in isolation, also mostly at Pelican Bay.
GEORGE: You need to occupy your time. You need to do something creative. You need to feel good about yourself, because if you don't, it's like falling off an airplane without a parachute.
MONTGOMERY: The men here are part of a new program in California that is moving inmates out of isolation and into regular prisons. That is, if they're no longer considered a security threat. Most of the men were originally convicted of violent crimes, but they were held in isolation based on allegations that they were active in dangerous prison gangs.
Here, for the first time in years, the men can exercise, unshackled and in the open air with other inmates.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: I smell freedom. Even though we're on a main line, we still smell freedom.
MONTGOMERY: And even though there's concrete walls...
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: It doesn't matter, 'cause these concrete walls are further apart. In the Bay, there's only 20 foot walls is all you see, so you're in a large box. Here you don't see the wall, so that's freedom.
MONTGOMERY: Two of the men, David and Daniel, walk with me in the yard across a scruffy lawn under a scorching late morning sun.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #2: If you put a dog in a cage, that's all it knows. But once you open that cage and let him out in the backyard, he will not see that little cage 'cause that cage does not exist.
MONTGOMERY: There are dozens of so-called supermax prisons around the country, but what distinguishes California is the extraordinary length of time some inmates are locked inside what are officially called security housing units.
KELLY HARRINGTON: You know, it'd be great if we didn't have to have security housing units at all.
MONTGOMERY: That's Kelly Harrington, an associate director in the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. He says the units are necessary to control violent prison gangs, but he also says new rules will shorten the minimum number of years men spend in isolation and allow them to earn their way out through good behavior.
HARRINGTON: And when you're on a general population facility, you get the access to those enhanced privileges - contact visits, actually going to school, going out to a yard program. So that is the goal, and hopefully the men that are in the security housing units will see that as an incentive to go out.
MONTGOMERY: Across California, families of men held in the security units and advocates have staged protests in support of the hunger strike. At a recent rally near Corcoran, hundreds of people marched in scorching heat to the gates of the massive concrete prison. They carry pickets and banners saying long term solitary confinement amounts to torture.
Their message to the Department of Corrections, that changes being made don't go far enough.
CAROL STRICKMAN: They're going very slowly and many people have been told they're going to move but they haven't been moved. The actually number of people that have been moved, I think, is fairly small.
MONTGOMERY: Carol Strickman is a staff attorney at Legal Services for Prisoners With Children, an advocacy group. She says that while 200 inmates have been approved for transfer, 4,000 others remain in the security units. What's more, Strickman says the Department's new rules leave key elements of the old policy in place.
STRICKMAN: People can still serve lengthy terms, including life, in solitary confinement.
MONTGOMERY: Back in the prison classroom, the inmates, who until just a few weeks earlier were in isolation, reflect on some of their new freedoms, like phone calls home. An inmate named Armando says this can lead to confusion. Like the other prisoners we interviewed for this story, he asked that we not use his full name out of safety concerns.
ARMANDO: Some of us call the house and the family says, who is this? They can't believe it's you and they think you're playing a trick on them. Some people won't even accept the call 'cause they think you're kidding.
MONTGOMERY: But what stands out above all is human touch. California requires inmates in the security units to be in cuffs or belly chains whenever they're outside their cell or exercise areas. And they can only meet visitors from behind thick glass. Here is different. Daniel recalls leaving isolation and meeting his family without a glass partition.
DANIEL: Memorable, amazing, tender. All the emotions that you thought were not there resurface.
MONTGOMERY: How long had it been since you held hands with your mom?
DANIEL: Over, say, 14 years. And my sisters, like, 20.
MONTGOMERY: Still, even though they're out of Pelican Bay, the men face other challenges. Many California prisons are in perpetual security lockdowns and the promised education and work opportunities are few and far between, says Alex, an inmate who spent a total of 17 years in isolation before being transferred here.
ALEX: It may be better than the Bay, but we're still being warehoused, 'cause we have nothing to do. I think they need to put us - put in some types of vocations, work. Get us work. Keep us occupied.
MONTGOMERY: State corrections officials say they are ready to transfer more inmates out of isolation if they qualify. But for now, that effort is on hold as hundreds of prisoners continue a hunger strike. For NPR News, I'm Michael Montgomery.
GREENE: And that story was produced as part of a collaboration between member station KQED and the Center for Investigative Reporting. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Another new ingredient that I discovered this Spring was fiddleheads. Fiddleheads are young fiddlehead ferns that have yet to unfurl they leaves and they are only available for a short period of time during the Spring. I first saw them at the farmers market and later I was a bit surprised to also find them at a few main stream grocery stores. Of course, I picked some up right away to try. While looking around for recipes I kept coming across the suggestion to boil them for at least three minutes before cooking them over safety concerns for toxins.
The first thing that I did with the fiddleheads was a simple saute (after boiling them for 3 minutes) in some olive oil with some chopped up ramps and a simple seasoning of salt and pepper. I really enjoyed the sauteed fiddleheads and I would imagine that sauteing them in butter would also be excellent. A sprinkling of parmigiano reggiano might also be a nice addition.
Now that I had experienced the fiddleheads I was looking for a recipe to use them in. While I was thinking about them I was thinking about spirals and then shrimp popped into my head. I was also thinking about wanting to use the preserved lemons that I had made in a new dish. I decided to combine all of the ideas and make a shrimp scampi with fiddleheads and preserved lemons. Fiddleheads in a pasta with a buttery lemon sauce with shrimp sounded good. I also thought that replacing the garlic in the shrimp scampi with the in season ramps would be a nice touch. It is hard to go wrong with shrimp scampi and this Spring version with fiddleheads, wild leeks and preserved lemons also turned out great! The fiddleheads worked well in the scrimp scampi and they were really nice in the buttery lemon sauce with a background of wild leeks. The preserved lemons also worked well in the scampi kicking up the lemon flavour and adding a new texture. What a great way to enjoy the fiddleheads! I will definitely be keeping an eye out for them again next year!
Fiddlehead Shrimp Scampi
- 1/2 pound fiddleheads (trimmed and well cleaned)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 wild leeks/ramps (chopped, or garlic)
- 1/4 preserved lemon peel (chopped)
- 1/2 pound shrimp (shelled and deveined)
- 1/4 cup white wine (optional)
- 1 lemon (juice and zest)
- 1/2 pound linguine (cooked) (gluten free for gluten free)
- 1 tablespoon parsley (chopped, optional)
- parmigiano reggiano to taste (grated, optional)
- Cook the fiddleheads in boiling water for 3 minutes, drain and set aside.
- Heat the oil and melt the butter in a pan.
- Add the chili flakes, wild leeks and preserved lemons and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the fiddleheads and shrimp and saute until the fiddle heads are bright green and the shrimp is cooked, about 1-3 minutes per side and set aside.
- Add the wine and lemon juice and deglaze the pan.
- Simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the fiddleheads, shrimp, pasta and parsley and toss to coat.

There comes a moment in a monster hurricane such as Sandy when you question why you live on Long Island, this 118-mile-long spit of glacial debris deposited in the Atlantic Ocean from the mainland 20,000 years ago.
The Island is a fragile arm of dirt and sand precariously straddling the Eastern Seaboard in what can only be described as hurricane alley. It can, as Sandy proved, be a very dangerous place to live.
The moment of indecision came for my wife and me on Oct. 30, the day after Sandy slammed into New Jersey, buffeting Long Island's South Shore with 85-mph wind gusts while flooding communities south of Merrick Road with a 10-foot storm surge.
Katerina and I have lived on the South Shore for two decades. Our home, like thousands of others, was flooded by Sandy. In the early morning shortly after the storm subsided, we were sitting on our living-room couch, wondering what we should do next. The downstairs family room was still covered in seaweed and three inches of saltwater –– after the water level had reached 3½ feet during the storm, coming within inches of our main floor. One of our Subarus was still sitting in our driveway, but the other was in our neighbor's yard, immobilized by the torrent of seawater that rushed through our south Merrick neighborhood. Both vehicles were totaled. We lost our electricity and heat, and all manner of storm debris was strewn across our yard.
Our kids were asleep in their rooms after having stayed up past 1 a.m. Katerina and I had slept no more than an hour, and we were exhausted and cold. We felt as though we had lived through a nightmare, which played out under a full moon that cast an eerie glow over the Island, as if commanding Sandy to destroy.
Why not move upstate to Saratoga, where my brother lives? we wondered. Why not Bulgaria, my wife's home country? For that matter, why not Albuquerque, N.M., or Boise, Idaho? Anywhere but Long Island. The answer was simple: Long Island is our home.
For us, some of the most heart-wrenching images, besides the photos of the many homes that were razed by fire, were the shots of the Long Beach boardwalk, blown apart by the storm, its pine planks strewn about like matchsticks.

Saucy Mama was looking for recipes that were quick & easy for a family to prepare. Well, you can't get much easier than cooking in a crock pot. Throw everything in, walk away & hours later dinner is done. As for quick the hands on time on this recipe is no more than 10 minutes.
This made for such a tasty sandwich! Just a hint of spice (the perfect amount for a wimp like me) & a freshness from the lime. The meat was super juicy. I liked mine just plain on a roll while Matt topped his with some coleslaw & a slather of Saucy Mama's Chipotle Mustard for an extra kick. For a quick side dish we roasted some potatoes with the Chipotle Mustard. They got crispy & had a gorgeous color. Everything was served up with some steamed beans for a really easy statisfying meal.
Want to try making this dish yourself? Well I have four bottles of Saucy Mama's Lime Chipotle Marinade to give away. Leave a comment on this post & I'll pick four random winners on Thursday, August 13th. Please leave your email address in your comment so I can contact you. if you win! Sorry, I can only ship to the US and Canada.
Chipotle Lime Pulled Pork
hands on time: 10 minutes
cook time: 4 - 8 hours
1 1/2 lb pork shoulder
6 T Saucy Mama Chipotle Lime Marinade
3/4 c beer (We like the flavor beer adds but if you don't want to use it add chicken stock instead.)
1 t lime juice
4 soft rolls
Rub the pork shoulder all over with 4 tablespoons of the Chipotle Lime Marinade. Place in crock pot. Add the beer. Cover & turn the crock pot to high. Let cook on high for about 4 hours or low for 8 hours until the meat is fall apart tender. (If the meat is done before you are ready to serve just turn the crock pot to warm.)
With a slotted spoon take the meat from the crock pot & put into a bowl. Use a fork to shred the pork. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the Lime Chipotle Marinade and the lime juice.
Serve on rolls.

The expert roofers at Emmons can inspect your flat roof and determine if repairs will restore proper protection.
Metal Roof Repair
When you are looking for specialized and trusted metal roof repair, it pays to go with an experienced roofer.
