"Mustard! Mustard before ketchup. Always after mayonnaise. Get it right, then you've

Roasted Chicken and Potatoes

It's nice having an oven I can use.

Roasted Chicken and Potatoes, Cabbage. Tomato and Onion Salad

Store bought Cake. It was pretty good. The cake was very similar to pound cake. Those are sliced apples. I was a little surprised as the label said "Pastel de Pina" Pineapple would have been even better with the coconut

 

[greenedge]

Gelato, Pizza, Beef Casserole and Bread are the things i like most.

Avocado and bananas as well. I had salted plums a few months ago and they are a revelation to me.

Tomorrow it's traditional Turkey, etc, but tonight it's the return of Venison chilli, chili relleno, and the entire salad from the garden including tons of vine ripend tomatoes. yum.

Going north tomorrow. I imagine it will be turkey and ham at my brothers. Tonite it's Noche Buena Beer and ?
Can I pick up some tomatoes on my way north tomorrow morning Shawn?

 

[Cobblestoned]

Since parts of the family are off into the Turkish sun, I have do that traditional Turkey myself.
Never thought that this is so much relaxing. Grandma always looks stressed and in panic about the outcome.
Looking forward to tomorrow. Hope it's still there. Had to place the roaster-pot outside, because it was too big for the fridge.
Finished, looking good. Now that dude has to spend the night in the pot, to unfold and soak up all that taste, or none-taste.

If its too dry or tastes poor, then of course I got wrong advices.

It was a terrific start to the New Year.

A nice breakfast to go with a couple of Mimosas

Ok, cycling world, Krebs is the real thing. Dude, i enjoyed the Birria yesterday looking out over the pacific ocean from your hacienda! Amazing food and view!!

 

[krebs303]

Glad you could make it down. I want to head down to Ensenaada. It has been named the culinary capital of Mexico. But I still haven't exhausted places in Rosarito. I am going to spin around 3 times and wish for a Thai restaurant to open

Moros y Cristianos con Puerco

Something new for me

I saw these Pork Shanks in the Market. I don't think I have ever cooked them before. I've made Veal, Lamb or Beef shanks but never Pork

Browned them a little

two cans of rinsed and drained canned Black Beans

Layered in the slow cooker with Onion, Garlic, Cumin, a cup of BBQ Sauce, a small can of Chipotle Peppers in Adobo chopped, and water to cover

Ready to go

11 hours later. I let it cool then into the fridge to make removing the fat easy.

It was terrific. I can't wait to experiment with more pork shanks

Moros y Cristianos con Puerco Part II

I also had dessert

This roll has a sugar crust

Strawberries and chopped Hershey Kisses with Almonds

I thought I had a disaster. But the non-whipped cream really soaked into the bread. It was whipped cream the night before I guess I needed to shake the can more. I think it was better this way

 

[greenedge]

I love how you lay-out each phase.
