But George Smiley isn't quite ready for retirement—especially when a pretty, would-be defector surfaces with a shocking accusation: a Soviet mole has penetrated the highest level of British Intelligence. Relying only on his wits and a small, loyal cadre, Smiley recognizes the hand of Karla—his Moscow Centre nemesis—and sets a trap to catch the traitor. |

 Warmer weather calls for simple, and cool, recipes. White BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwiches fit that perfectly. What is white barbecue? It’s a mayonnaise-based sauce from Alabama. But it doesn’t taste like mayonnaise. It adds flavor and moisture and is something completely different from what you expect in a barbecue sauce. These sandwiches use shredded rotisserie chicken, so there’s no need to heat up the kitchen. My favorite thing about this recipe? If you have any leftovers, toss the chicken and the sauce with cooked pasta for a completely different meal. the recipe! |
