I’m so sorry this happened to you but I also just want to say: this is one of the best, most sincere, out of the box pieces of recipe writing I’ve read lately. Look how these lemons turned into some delicious ass pork shoulder! Brava to you, Nora!

Oh Nora, loving kindness will prevail over swindlers. You are awesome. In the meantime, your recipe will be served here over rice. Who knew fresh Rosemary added another world of taste. And I use tempeh for my veggie protein. Big fan, ~Denny.

Nora, I am so sorry this happened to you. Sometimes we are just vulnerable. In a perfect (or even imperfect) world, we hope George and his ilk will meet their Karma one day. Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipe.

I made this dish last weekend and it was absolutely divine! It had a depth of flavor I hadn't tasted in a really long time. We went to a very highly rated restaurant the next night and their braised meat dish fell completely flat by comparison. Going back and cooking everything you've posted so far! Thank you Nora, hope the sting of being swindled has faded somewhat!

Nora! Boo! I’m sorry, that sucks. But I am very sure this pork shoulder does not.

Omg Nor I’m so so so sorry 😣 Zelle is a tool of Satan I swear. Please don’t feel dumb, they practice these cons over and over, perfecting THEIR recipes and they work dammit!! This looks SO good.

I mean...way to turn life's lemons into fall-apart pork shoulder with lemons! So sorry you were scammed and know that it happens to the best of us. (The first time I tried to sell something on Facebook Marketplace I was immediately scammed and felt like such an idiot.)

Also hi! This is Anjali, formerly of The Kitchn -- happy to see you here and loving your Substack!

And just subscribed to your substack... looks incredible, and I can't wait to follow along :)
