Norah and I are cooking at a backyard event tomorrow. The required meat is a whole pork loin, so we are going to make some tacos el pastor.  Yikes I’m from ohio what the hell do I know about this.   Well I reached out to a friend who lives in Texas to see what I needed to know, because a kid from ohio who’s lived in Texas has to know right.  Well tonight Norah and I have prepare the marinade which consisted of 2 Cup white vinegar
10 Dried guajillo chii peppers
10 Dried pasilla chili pepper
4 Dried ancho chili pepper in adobo 
2 Medium onions, finely chopped
1 Head of garlic peeled
2 Tablespoon cumin powder
10 Cloves 
2 Cup pineapple juice
Salt to taste
4 Tablespoons vegetable oil
10 Limes, cut into wedges, optional
2 Bunch of cilantro, 
2 pineapples 

so far what we have tasted seems to be good, just do not know if we’re on the right track.  Time will tell.  


Also making a “salsa” with 
4 cups diced fresh pineapple
2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 small red onion, finely chopped 
4 serrano pepper chopped
Zest and juice of 2 lime
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

    We will post pictures of the cook and let’s hope her walking up to get her new large egg.   That’s what the winner gets, and she’s told me she expects to win.

    Outstanding! Congratulations, Norah Grace!

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Brother @lousubcap today she told me while cooking and serving that she thinks food is the coolest thing you can do.   I asked a few questions like why and what makes you say so.  Her response was amazing, she said it’s what brings people together and what makes people happy.   She said when we cook people get to see how much love you have. They get to know who you are, when they have your food.   

    Thats deep for a 9yr old.   
    Very profound!
