After some nasty frosty weather..........................
Today was the perfect day for cooking nice & blue skies 65* f......................
But some plants...froze..like the bougainvillea.........
Yesterday the gods were benevolent :laugh: & treated us to this great sunset..............
Today Loren suggested cooking this tacos al Pastor.....
Ingredients
1 white onion, halved
1 pineapple, peeled, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
1/4 cup guajillo chile powder
3 garlic cloves, halved
2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano (preferably Mexican)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 large or 2 small chipotle chiles and 1 to 2 teaspoons adobo from canned chipotle chiles in adobo
1 2 1/2-to 3-pound boneless pork loin, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Corn tortillas
Lime wedges
Preparation
Coarsely chop 1 onion half & 2 pineapple rounds, discarding core; cover and chill remaining pineapple. Place chopped onion and chopped pineapple in blender. Add orange juice and next 7 ingredients; puree marinade until smooth. Place pork in large resealable plastic bag. Add marinade and seal bag, releasing excess air. Turn to coat. Chill at least 4 hours.
Fired the egg (did it on the Mini) at 380. Grilled remaining pineapple until warm and slightly charred, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Grilled pork with some marinade until slightly charred and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Chopped pineapple into 1/2-inch cubes, discarding cores. Chopped the pork & Mixed.
Meanwhile, finely chopped the remaining onion half, add cilantro & mixed. Grilled tortillas until warm and slightly charred, about 10 seconds per side.

Beli,
Again the meistro creates a masterpiece. I'm going to wait for just the right time, i.e., when I'm in the dog house :laugh: , and make this for my wife.
Ice storms create some beautiful scenes. As stated below caution must be exercised when around trees after ice storms (falling limbs) especially for those not used to these weather events.
Beautiful pictures though! -
Gracias Larry......glad to be warm again..... :laugh:
-
I owe everything to my manager: Little Steven....& I'm still learning...if only I had more snow.... :P
-
I know the feeling...We were freezing but today it's 66°.
Larry -
Two things: I was under the impression that the Mexican Constitution specifically prohibited snow and ice storms, and that the Church prohibited Tacos Al Pastor.
You, my friend, are living life on the edge LOL
The food looks great and I hope the sky looks that beautiful when we come visiting.
