Coca-Cola Ham
Fresh ham comes from the pig's hind leg. (You buy fresh pork leg to brine, not a cured, smoked ham.) Because a whole leg is quite large, it is usually cut into two sections. The sirloin, or butt, end is harder to carve than our favorite, the shank end. If you don't have room in your refrigerator, brine the pork in an insulated cooler or a small new plastic garbage can and add five or six freezer packs to the brine to keep it well cooled.
1 (6 to 8 pound) bone-in fresh half leg of pork with skin,
preferably shank end, rinsed, or boneless pork loin (see notes)
Brine
3 cups kosher salt or 1 1/2 cups table salt
3 (2-liter) bottles Coca-Cola Classic
2 heads garlic, cloves separated, lightly crushed and peeled
10 bay leaves
1/2 cup black peppercorns, crushed
Garlic and Herb Rub
1 cup lightly packed fresh sage leaves
1/2 cup lightly packed fresh parsley leaves
8 medium cloves garlic, peeled
1 tablespoon kosher salt or 1 1/2 teaspoons table salt
1/2 tablespoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
Coca-Cola Glaze With Lime and Jalapeno (recipe follows)
Carefully slice through skin and fat with serrated knife, making 1-inch diamond pattern. Be careful not to cut into meat.
To make brine: In large (about 16-quart) bucket or stockpot, dissolve salt in Coke. Add garlic, bay leaves and crushed peppercorns. Submerge ham in brine and refrigerate 8 to 24 hours.
Set large, disposable roasting pan on baking sheet for extra support; place flat wire rack in roasting pan. Remove ham from brine; rinse under cold water and dry thoroughly with paper towels. Place ham cut-side down on rack. (If using sirloin end, place ham skin-side up.) Let ham stand, uncovered, at room temperature 1 hour.
Meanwhile, adjust oven rack to lowest position and preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
To make rub: In work bowl of food processor fitted with steel blade, process sage, parsley, garlic, salt, pepper and oil until mixture forms smooth paste, about 30 seconds. Rub all sides of ham with paste.
Roast ham at 500 degrees F for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue to roast, brushing ham with glaze every 45 minutes, until center of ham registers 145 to 150 degrees F on instant-read thermometer, about 2 1/2 hours longer.
Tent ham loosely with foil and let stand until center of ham registers 155 to 160 degrees F on thermometer, 30 to 40 minutes. Carve and serve.
NOTES: When ordering a fresh half leg of pork, tell butcher to leave fat and skin on the outside intact, unscored.
To roast a 5-pound boneless pork loin, cook at the same temperature as the half leg, allowing about 20 to 25 minute per pound. Take the roast out when it reaches 155 degrees F. Tent loosely with aluminum foil until it registers 160 degrees F.
Coca-Cola Glaze with Lime and Jalapeno
1 cup Coca-Cola Classic
1/4 cup lime juice (2 limes)
2 cups firmly packed dark or light brown sugar
2 medium jalapeno chiles, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
Bring Coca-Cola, lime juice, brown sugar and chiles to a boil in small nonreactive saucepan over high heat; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until syrupy and reduced to about 1 1/3 cups, 5 to 7 minutes. (Glaze will thicken as it cools between bastings; heat over medium heat about 1 minute, stirring once or twice, before using.)
Makes about 1 1/3 cups, enough to glaze ham.
Makes 10 servings.

Kids: Duets Live at Dizzy's Club Coca-ColaView This Product at Amazon
As good as tenor saxophonist Joe Lovano's recent quartet albums featuring piano master Hank Jones were, they didn't prepare us for the sublimity of this two-man encounter. Duets Live has it all: brilliant and spirited individual playing, exceptional rapport, a terrific mix of songs and a luminous awareness of jazz in all its varied forms. What makes Lovano and Jones so compatible, even though they are separated by more than three decades, is the ease with which they each straddle and move back and forth across the line beween modern and pre-modern (in this, Lovano recalls Coleman Hawkins, one of the giants Jones backed). Much of the material is steeped in classic bop, but Jones points the way back to an earlier golden era with his lambent sparkle and Lovano comes at songs like "Charlie Chan" (his salute to Charlie Parker), Thelonious Monk's "Four in One," and Tadd Damerson's "Soultrane" from consistently fresh angles even as he applies his classic husky sound. Still a force at 88, Jones elegantly frees three of his late brother Thad's tunes from their big band trappings and in the solo spotlight pulls out stops on the standard, "Oh! Look at me Now!" It's a performance of gusty expression and poetic delicacy, slyness and warmth, and endless smiles. Is it too much to ask for a volume two? --Lloyd Sachs

Eric Roberts, young, charming, and handsome, does a rare comic turn as an American Coca-Cola executive with a honeyed Georgia drawl sent Down Under in this congenial little Australian comedy. As the zealous, unfailingly polite eccentric declares economic war on a veritable back-country feudal lord who runs his own steam-powered soda plant (Bill Kerr), Roberts's enchantingly goofy secretary (Greta Scacchi) plots a campaign of seduction that includes a Santa suit that explodes in an orgiastic blizzard of feathers. Yugoslavian director Dusan Makavejev (Montenegro), hardly known for romantic comedy, brings a surprisingly light touch to the comedy and a sweet sexiness to the offbeat love story. The script veers into scenes that make no sense and gets bogged down in the cola wars, but Makavejev buoys the film with unexpected turns, delightful moments of beauty and joy, and a genial, generous sense of humor. --Sean Axmaker
Coca-Cola - The History of an American IconView This Product at Amazon
For more than a century people have refreshed themselves with oceans of brown fluid. Much of this fluid was produced by one Atlanta-based company, and Coca-Cola: The History of an American Icon offers a panegyric to the Real Thing.
The history of Coke is the history of its advertising, and this documentary draws on a rich archive of print, film, and television material to show how John Pemberton's soda recipe became such a potent symbol of American society. Coca-Cola: The History of an American Icon is, unsurprisingly, a one-sided history. There is no suggestion that the Coca-Colonization of the planet might have a downside, and lines like "If the world's having a bad time, it's OK because there's still Coke" are delivered without a hint of irony. Nevertheless, this documentary offers some fascinating insights into the history of Coca-Cola. --Simon Leake
