On the Way Home

Beatles:  Blue Jay Way

I decided yesterday to make some really tasty pork tacos…….

I bought a gigantic pork shoulder/butt and got the butcher to trim a bit of the fat and split it in half.

I braised it in aromatics ( onions/carrot/cumin/coriander seeds ) for 2.5 hours until it was tender. I reserved some of the braising juice and then roasted it in a pan for another 45 minutes. After that you cool it, shred it with a fork and mix it with half a cup of the braising juice to soften it.

You add your home made salsa ( made it ahead of time ) some diced avocado and some mashed beans. As it happened I made a salad of mixed spring vegetables and cucumbers to go with it.

I jumped in the shower while my meat cooled. I spend most of the day cleaning and doing laundry I was very much looking forward to a carefully cooked but easy meal.

But alas a mystery!!!!! There was no pork in the kitchen when I returned 10 minutes later.

There was an empty plate…..

There were two guilty looking dogs but no confessions…..

I had peanut butter sandwiches for dinner last night.

Remember….. don’t rec pomy party hang out and chit chat and then go read some of the excellent offerings on our recent and rec’d list.

Oh. Yeah. Tell me a story about something your dog did.

back to our scheduled essay, now in progress…..

Staying with todays theme…………”What is our chil’un thinking?”

I woke up this morning with this playing in my head:

We’re not too big

and we’re not too tough

but when we work together

we got the right stuff!

This was strange enough because I haven’t seen this program since last December, when I watched it with my grandson…..

and I thought about how I hope this little song stays with this generation of children….

that they’ll ‘get’ the lesson of working together…… getting along…..

There’s a band out on the highway.

They’re high-steppin’ into town.

They’re a rainbow full of sound.

It’s fireworks, calliopes and clowns —

Everybody’s dancing!
