Pigs rule

Two new rules following the Mexican Fiesta cooking club at my house:
1) Tequila is a killjoy. No mas!
2) Every cooking club meal now must end with donuts!

Menu:
Pomegranate margaritas
Guacamole, queso fundido, tomatillo salsa, and pico de gallo with tortilla chips
Carnitas and/or chicken tacos
Churros with Mexican hot chocolate

This picture doesn't quite do them justice (my food styling could be improved - yes, that's a kilo of cinnamon sugar on top) but the churros were delicious.


And roasting pork shoulder might be what sends some people over the carnivoric edge into vegetarianism. Not me though. I gagged a little when the bloody water spilled out of the plastic wrapping but I persevered. Seven hours in the crockpot, shred shred shred and a (slightly too long of a) crisping in the oven, this is what you get:


Again, this may send some squealing for leafy greens and legumes but I rather liked it.
