I made some chili verde con carne.

I brown a pound and a half of Pork country -tyle ribs. I don't know why they're called that they don't have any ribs in them its just slabs of pork. They used to little cumin, chilipowder, pepper, salt, paprika, and garlic.

I thre them in a crock pot on low for about 4 hours with over a pound of Hatch extra hot bareoty, fire-roasted frrsh chiles. I just cut the stems off and I left all of the heat and seeds. I didn't have any tomateo so I added some tomatillo puree. Little bit of cilantro and the juice of and zest of one lime.

I can bately take the heat, but flavor doesn't get any more authentic than that. Despite tje fact that my innards are grumbling about it a bit I keep eating it.

I made some homemade corn tortillas last night and had little tacos with it which was delicious.

Today I tried them in a rice paper wrap, that was interesting.

So much good food this weekend...fresh brandywine tomatoes, sausage and peas egg cups, red flannel goetta made with a beautifully crusted top round, salmon cakes with feta and kale, grilled swordfish, bhel puri, chicken tikka masala, chai, pumpkin ice cream, fresh meat sauce...plus wine, oh the wine...
 
Chocolate cupcakes with no frosting/ icing, are not hitting the spot.
No crisp edges. No gooey chocolate chips.
 
It looks overcooked.......

The Spanish restaurant across the avenue from me in Brooklyn makes better basic fried chicken than this. And I can get ten pieces of roughly similar size in a heavy platter for four dollars that puts that skimpy box to shame.

Quality of meat and professional food prep are one thing to take into consideration, but if someone's selling you drumsticks like that for five bucks per, you are getting gamed.

concurred.
 

If it's LeCreuset, you'll probably be using that until the day you check out for the upstairs penthouse. And there will be only one orange fleck left. ;)

That being said, there's a majestic Calphalon wok on sale at BB&B I have my eye on...gonna cost some big clams, but you use them babies for life. :D

I replaced all my Calphalon with LeCreuset or straight cast iron. I don't like the aluminum. The only things I have left are my woks.
 
I've been checking my mail daily!

It's true! She stands outside the house every day, barefooted and wearing nothing but a camisole, leaning on her mailbox all seductively-like just to make the mailman hurry to make a delivery!

I wish.

My mail box is about 3/4 of a mile away on the main road in a cluster with about 25 other rusty mailboxes. Two winters ago the snow plower totally wiped out half of them leaving them dangling on their wooden arms cemented into the ground. I had to pick up mail for the rest of the winter til the ground thawed to redo the wooden post.

Camisole optional.
