I am spicy.

Braised a small country pork rib after cutting it where scored. Browned the pieces in olive oil. While browning, the following got blended together in a bowl: rice wine vinegar, fish sauce, sesame oil, honey, chicken stock, aleppo pepper flakes, ginger, sumac, mace, allspice, cilantro, cumin...

  Thank you for reminding me why it's GREAT to be single!   :dance:   :onfire:   :woohoo:   I love candied supers and love making them! 

A "little" behind here.... finally getting to potting up the rest of the plants. Just 10 to go. Ha! This sporting life has left my chile plants a lot neglected. Decided no plants next year, more traveling.

Adding the long jump to my list of competition events; started learning just a few weeks ago. Picked up SUP boarding as a non-competitive event (for now!) Post-kid life is so FUN!!!!!!

Super-happy day: Ladybug larvae all over my plants! Whoot! Thanking Jesus for creating the counterbalance to mites!

I may not make it in on time. I just managed to shove a piece of plastic between my eyelid and my eye and it's not very happy right now. If it calms down enough for me to get my entry in, though, I'll post. Good grief...

Adding sauteed bacon, onions and jalapeno to the cooked beans.  

Here's the base meat mixture. I've made enough for 8 servings as I'm giving half to my coaches to eat with rice. The rest will be reduced and tweaked a bit.  

Blacks and bacon started, somewhere 'neath all that reflection.  

I haven't made it to the grocery store yet, but here are a few things.     Admittedly, some of the stuff is just on the counter from breakfast. I'll let you ponder which is which.

Excellent start here!     But I am wondering, what is up with hot stuff's upside-down pic? I made a post, not too long ago, in which one of the pics is displaying upside-down. Never mind the real pic isn't - when I navigate to it on my website it displays the right way, it's just here that it...

  You wouldn't be the first to say that! :D

Ok, I found the old picadillo recipe last night. Got it from my mom who got it from someone else who got it from someone else, and so on. It seems likely that a good half of Houston probably has that recipe. Heck, it might have even come from a post in the Houston Chronicle years and years ago...

  Ah, ok. Thanks for clearing it up.

I am no fan of mayo, except in very small quantities. However, some peeps swear by marinating chicken in mayo. Probably similar to yogurt in that you are adding fat of one sort or another.   Still.... this leads to the definition of "ground" and "minced" for the TD. I dunno.... I'm not a fan of...

The plants are itching to get into their larger pots, as they are fully able to be outside all day now. However, the temps are forecasted to hit the 40F's over the next few nights, so I am holding off on potting up. Heh - even the pineapple wants soil!   But honestly, my plants don't have much...

  Oh, there will definitely be some blue in the rice! ;)
