OK, let's get started. I've soaked some pintos overnight with plans to use a leftover fist-sized piece of 2 day marinated, slow roasted pork loin which was prepared with al pastor intentions.
The tacos were fantastic, with grilled tomato salsa, salsa fresca, guac, both homemade and store bought corn tortillas, and spicy pickled carrots with radishes.
Today the beans will be slowly simmered with as much vegetable matter as possible (maybe grilled onions), some rehydrated pulverized chillies, toasted + ground cumin/coriander, and the precooked pork loin, chopped. I'll serve with sour cream, avocado slices, cilantro, diced white onion, and lime wedges. And I'll stick some freshly fried, oversized tortilla chips for dipping and presentation.
I suppose I'll take pictures to bring this whole blog thing together.
I had reasonable intentions, but as it turned out I decided to leave the chillies whole (with kids in mind), didn't bother to grill the onions, my megagrocer was out of cilantro, and after 3 hours of simmering Que Pasa got my vote for tortilla chips. So I finished it up with chopped green onions and muchos jalepenos. Muy bueno!
As far as WWIII is concerned, Mr Ahmadinejad says the vote was fair. That's good enough for me. He seems like a nice enough guy- I'm sure the whole Israel hate-fest is merely Mahmoud showing the world that "there is no such thing as bad press".
At this point I predict at least another solid year of good eatin'.
