Wish I had gotten home from this fire assignment in TX a couple days sooner to join in. Flying home from Dallas tomorrow afternoon, so doubt I could make the deadline without sneaking something in from Taco Bell.
...just hopeing the electricity stays on the rest of the evening.
The whole neighborhood's juice has been knocked out three times already... we have a gas stove, but darn sure not gonna have burners going with no a/c as the house would quickly match the outside temps (100°F + right now).
What????? You're not willing to die for the TD cause? Shame!
That's why man invented the grill, and the tiki torch.
Dude, I'll sell you one of my crowns for $50.
You better not be trying that hard, it violates the spirit of the throwdown for most of us.
Though Paulky, a multiple crown winner, tends to drop a dime on these things, with good results!!
The first 3 entries have this one in the bag anyway.
Right, TB?
He could be feeding 10 people, we don't know.
I know I usually feed a small army with my entries. Once the word gets out, there's usually a line at the buffet!
Well, that would be one way to get logchief to visit...
...we're under a major burn-ban, so no grillin' outside (unless you use a gas grill).
I only use mesquite, oak, or pecan wood ...which is the main reason I didn't do fajitas, brisket, or cabrito.
The cops and fire dept. will give you a ticket methinks if they see smoke.

I'm out. Been sick for a week now and thought I was a bit better and got some stuff together. Halibut. Shrimp. Al Pastor. et.al. I feel like crap now and the very thought of food is making me want to barforama ding dong. Sorry amigo's. Do your 'thang ya'll.
TB out of the Mexican TD??? Is this the in-out-in-out...in game you played last time? I guess we'll see tomorrow.

Those fish tacos looked absolutely perfect salsalady! Impy, hell yeah. And scovie... its not fair that you made all the food in Mexico, jk, that platter looks amazing.
I got a camera for my birthday a couple days ago! Unfortunately I haven't had much time this weekend so I had to just throw something together for the TD, figure I don't have an excuse not to participate now that I have a camera. Oh and I forgot about the proof of life until I had already started eating, so my official entries will be of 1/2 eaten food
The Salsa:
Left it kinda mild since it was going on my salad. Cilantro is in there too, just forgot to take a pic of it.
The Food
About 1/2 lb of hatch green chile, and a couple habs
Into the pan with some onions, garlic, flower, and chicken stock
Add pollo
Toss it in a tortilla with frijoles and queso
Wrap it up and serve!

Flamecycle please read all the rules carefully, if that is supposed to be your entry.

Its not, but thx!
They seriously won't even let you grill? Those oppressive bastards...
Damn dude, hope you get better. It's not right without you on this one especially!!!
It's like if I missed a busch light drinking contest.
The lighting sucks in my house so I can't take good pictures at night, with or without flash, but here's my terrible night photo teaser...
The spices for the marinade: achiote (annato), allspice, cloves, Mexican oregano, black peppercorns, cumin seeds, canela, dried pequins, and salt. After I ground the spices they'll be mixed with garlic, avocado oil, and a few chopped congo black habaneros, and bitter/seville/sour orange juice to marinade the pork overnight.
Banana leaves, the congo black habaneros, and $.80 (50 cent piece, quarter, and a nickel, kind of hard to see ). More to follow tomorrow with better pictures. 
If you know your Mexican food then you already know what I'm making.

Hey hey hey you told us a long time ago that tree of yours is not a banana tree it's some other leaf you've been masquerading as a banana leaf.
Busted.
