    Smokin'CSI,[p]Here is my wife's recipe. It has a traditional Southwest flavor that sometimes is foreign to East Coasters, BUT it recently took second place in the green category and also peoples choice in a chili contest in Brooklyn. It was kind of funny, the guy that I gave the recipe to did not even have time to do a trial run. We both got a chuckle out of that.[p]~thirdeye~

    Smokin'CSI,[p]I have used this simple recipe in an oven-cooked version, but it should work great on an egg--i am too new an egger to have tried it on egg yet![p]5 lb boneless pork shoulder (trim any excess fat)
    1 Tbs salt
    1 Tbs. dried oregano (Mexican, if avail.)
    2 tsp. ground cumin (omit if you don't like cumin)
    2 large onions, chopped
    2 large cans diced mild green chiles[p](If you want to roast your own pasillo chiles, use about 5, char on egg --on grill over high heat-- or by other method, put in paper bag to cool, rub off charred skins, discard stem and seeds, then chop)[p]Put pork in a pot, sprinkle other ingredients on top, cover tightly and cook at 225-250 for 4-5 hours or until done and shreds easily. Recommend hand pulling as discarding large fat chunks is easier. (If you prefer cubed pork chunks, I suppose you could prep the uncooked pork that way, but I'm not sure how that would affect cooking--haven't tried it.)[p]An aluminum half-sized steam tray covered with HD foil makes for easy clean up and finished pork can be put back in it to keep warm or even reheat.[p]If desired you can stir in some green sauce, not necessary for taste and will make burritos too wet to hand-hold, but will make good messy 'smothered' burritos...I am usually too lazy to make my own green sauce, so I mostly buy it. A good quality green enchilada sauce (Herdez is a good brand I can get) or a bottled green sauce --(Hussongs is pricey but very, very good.) is a time saver. [p]good luck with whatever you cook!

    thirdeye,
    Hope you didn't trip over your wheelchair on the way to the computer! hehe How is the lemongrass project??

    Richard,[p]Well, it's in. I have a drip system in the greenhouse, so it is getting plenty of water. And there is new growth. [p]But for the last week and a half we have had temps in the high 90's and today was 99°. Bear in mind that I am at 5300' elevation. We normally get one or two weeks of hot weather in August. The good side is, the lemongrass probably feels right at home. The bad news is the only things that like that heat are my peppers, some of the herbs and the squash. The tomato plants hate it.[p]~thirdeye~

    thirdeye,[p]Well you could be like me in OKC....in my yard I have had over 40 inches of rain this year!...[p]In the last couple of days I had 9 inches of rain and it has rained everyday for over 18 days.[p]So I have a lot of green tomatoes..but since the sun hasn't come out all I have is green one's..[p]The next problem will be like you are having...once over 92deg the pollen on the tomatoes starts to evaporate so no tomatoes....
