How can one help a friend through a breakup? Just like the question, the answer is tedious. As a friend begins his recovery after the end of a relationship, there is truly only one way to tend to him and that is by means of unrestricted, 24/7, one-sided attentiveness. True friends will nod their heads in agreement, a buddy's breakup marks the start of a trying test of friendship.Lars usually goes with the BBQ Combo ($15) of Ribs & either Briskit or pulled pork. I like their briskit, but the pork is more tender. I've had the BBQ chicken here too, and it was pretty damn good also.Here's something you don't usually see at a baseball stadium. Wow Bao is a Chicago area chain that features steamed hot buns filled with your choice of chicken, slow cooker pulled pork food.com, beef or vegetables. They are sold individually or by the half dozen.You can also complement your main dish by using any number of tasty side dishes. How does Corn on the Cob and Garlic Herb Butter sound? Or maybe you want to try some slow cooker pulled pork-Roasted Potatoes or maybe a superb Potato Casserole. There are a lot of options to add a unique touch to any meal.If those were the first three words that came to your mind when you read "U.S. Cellular Field," then you're a Cubs fan who hasn't been to 35th and Shields in about five years. Ever since the White Sox decided to renovate the pathetic dump of a stadium that was Comiskey Park II, the stadium that the White Sox call home has improved every year and turned itself into one of the better places to watch baseball in America. The area around U.S. Cellular Field is improving, too (case in point: there's now a Starbucks on the corner of 35th and State. If that doesn't spell progress, I don't know what does).To keep your lean cut of meat tender, I suggest cooking your healthy pork roast in a slow cooker. The slow cooker will gently cook the meat without removing any of the juices. If you choose to leave the layer of fat on the roast, put it fat side up so that the fat can help keep the meat moist. By the time your healthy roast is done, it will be so tender that it will be falling apart. I usually let my roasts cook 10 to 12 hours on low, but the time will depend on your slow cooker and how hot it gets.Open now for happy hour and dinner but Elements Restaurant and Bar will expand sometime in September for lunch. I like that they have nightly specials; I have my eye on Wednesday night crab cake and Thursday night Prime Rib.The last stage of the friendship breakup babysitting is entitled Another Fish. It is so called because it is the point at which one can actually see their buddy considering a new partner. It might be the girl on the Max or the guy who lives down the street, one never knows until it presents itself. As a friend, one notices when one's buddy (perhaps for the first time in a very long time) watches a woman walk across a restaurant, flirts with a metermaid, or smiles at the college students crossing the street. It is the rekindling of something that was dampened and is now alight with renewed enthusiasm. Whatever the case may be, it is also the reward for a friend who has stood by and endured the second hand obstacles of a breakup.
