Tell the Truth....

Criminal Offence there Krebs the butter must be spread to the edge of the toast.....

that does not look like the stuff that comes from cows (butter) but some brand of partially hydroginated vegitable oil (anything edible, soy / cotton seed, margarine) marketed as a "better than butter" spread. The ultra soft (balloon bread) toast collapses under the pressure of spreading creating a natural pool for the oil to collect. Spread to the edge and the containment area is compromised.

No it's real butter all the way from New Zealand.

No it's real butter all the way from New Zealand.

So it comes from sheep then. No wonder it looks questionable.

A guilty pleasure:

Tacos de Carnitas (spanish for "little meats"). Basically pork shoulder slow cooked in lard, then the heat turn up to crisp them on the outside. Heaven.

 

[krebs303]

Went for fish tacos and came across this wicked salsa. Sliced Jalapenos, Crushed Red Pepper, Cucumber, Celery, Pickled Onions, And the orange slices they're Habaneros. It will light up your life!

It's National Taco Day.

This a little fancier than what I usually make. I have prepared it this way and had excellent results.

Pork Carnitas

2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch pieces
4 garlic cloves, crushed
coarse salt and ground pepper
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup milk
12 white corn tortillas, warmed
Fresh cilantro leaves, thinly sliced onion, diced avocado, green salsa and lime wedges for serving

In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, combine pork, garlic and 8 cups water; season with salt and pepper. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook covered for 45 minutes. Drain well.

In a large nonstick skillet (or the same Dutch oven) heat 1 Tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add pork, 1/2 cup fresh orange juice and 1/2 cup milk and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid has evaporated and pork has browned, 8 to 12 minutes. The pork will start browning after liquid has evaporated. Season well with salt and pepper.

Serve carnitas in tortillas with cilantro, onion, avocado, green salsa and squeeze some lime juice over the meat.

question for west coasters..are ramen soup places popping up all over the place? In NYC they are exploding and a bowl not unlike the 30cent in the grocery store kind is 12 or 15 bucks w some special stuff like two tacos worth of pork loin, that makes it special

I grew up in Alhambra/Monterey Park/San Gabriel area which has had a heavy Asian influx over the last 30 years. Noodle shops are all over. But no way would I pay $12 for a bowl of noodles.

Mixed up some mayo, relish and catsup for hamburger sauce

Toasted bun. Patties not too thick. salt or seasoned salt

Add Lettuce, Tomato and Onion

Roommate doesn't care for chile. No problem made Pico de Gallo and just didn't mix it up. No problem.

Chicken breasts ready for action.

Chicken cut up in 1" cubes.

With the Chicken I prefer slightly crispy tortilla shells

Found this T-Bone steak at the market. Really wanted to make a Pepper Steak but having no green,red or black peppercorns I had to improvise with crushed red pepper, ground black pepper, onion and garlic powder, Dried parsley and oregano

Made some Cole Slaw and Tomato and Green Onions with Extra Virgin Olive Oil(local grown) and Balsamic Vinegar.

Cut it up to make it easier to share with the dogs
