We finally got around to making the one pan fiesta. Link sausage, whole kernel corn, onion, cabbage all stir fried in smart balance with a TBS of butter for more flavor along with a red ripe tomato wedged on the side. Still have a little triple chocolate ice cream for dessert. Maybe next time I'll add some Fino to see if that works any magic.
I don't know what happened. I must have pressed a wrong button. I think I fixed my mistake. I was part owner of a Mexican restaurant a long time ago, all my recipes are from my partner's grandmother, a little old Mexican woman.
And let me tell you--her restaurant was the hottest thing in town for many years! Very popular and the food was the best!! I had totally forgotten about that until she mentioned it the other day. I for one will copy and paste any recipes you have to share olive!!!!! Oh my---here I go--yummy!!!
I will definately give it a try,,,,how can I go wrong with pork, cilantro, garlic and beer. I am surprised there isnt any tomato or chili in there.....but.....I am absolutely no expert on sw cooking. I live out there for 5 years....but my transplant never took. Too much of a yankee I suppose.

But I did really like carnitas and carne asada.
You can add any spice your heart desires. This was just my basic recipe.
you can also, once it's done and pulled - a little oil in a large saute or frying pan, chopped onions. chopped jalapenos, cilaranto, stir until onions are close to done - add the carnitas and stir together until carnitas are crunchy.
also delicious
CSA stands for Consumer Supported Agriculture, which is a big program in south-central Wisconsin. Basically, an individual or family "buys" a share in a farm, and they get a portion of the farm's harvest throughout the season. There are over thirty CSA farms in this area, and each has sort of their own areas of specialization. One does a lot of heirloom beans, one does mostly traditional vegetables, several do a mixture of fruit and vegetables, and many are certified organic producers. People pick a farm to join based on what they specialize in, how long the share season runs, cost, and pickup locations.
Another part of the CSA experience is that share-holders get to visit their farm and get a better idea of what it means to be a farmer. Our CSA farm puts on several big events over the season: a strawberry-picking day in June, a barn dance in July, a pumpkin-picking day in September or early October, and an annual meeting. They also welcome CSA members who want to camp on their land. Many CSA members also get involved in volunteering with their farm.
Of course, when you buy a share in a farm, you're investing in their season, and just like any investment, there are no guarantees. When your CSA farm has a bumper crop of sweet corn, you live large on the bounty. But when they get clobbered with a 12-inch rainfall in a single day, washing out 50 or 60 acres of crops, you also share in the meager boxes that follow the catastrophe. We've experienced both extremes with our CSA farm.
Our regional CSA coalition has a website, here: MACSAC Home which goes into a lot more detail than I can here. But if you live in an area that has CSA farms, I strongly endorse them as a way to give your food dollars straight to the people who produce it, and enrich your connection with the origin of your food at the same time. And you get to experience all sorts of interesting foods that you've probably not only never eaten before but maybe never heard of: amaranth, nettles, sunchokes, burdock root, and a whole host of other things.
For all of you I couldn't personally rep.........thank you for your positive thoughts and wishes! I got the job....and will now be teaching dance and fitness/conditioning at an IB high school....starting Monday!!
Going out to dinner to celebrate!
Woo-hoo and hooray! Congratulations, HighlandsGal, and I so hope that this job proves to be all that you dream of!
