    I usually use the ceramic part of the Crock Pot to marinate my meat in, and put it in the fridge with the lid on it. I get up in the wee hours of the morning and take it out of the fridge and put the Crock Pot back together and turn it on. Technically, carnitas is pork. It literally translates to "little meats." You can use the marinade with a beef roast, pork roast, or boneless, skinless chicken breasts. After you've marinated the meat for 24 hours, it goes into the Crock Pot for another 12-14 hours.

    When the meat is tender enough you can take two forks and tear it apart easily. Serve it over cilantro lime rice (again I use Chipotle's recipe) with lots of cheese, salsa, and sour cream if you want it and chips. I'm also going to cook up some hamburger meat to make tacos/burritos and make a batch of homemade queso. I asked him a few weeks ago how he felt about me doing this for his party. His response? "Momma, that sounds fire." He's had carnitas before and LOVED them. Momma's Mexican Hopping Bean.

    That sounds good, Ria. I may have to borrow Cindy's airplane.

    Sounds good, y'all. Schmoo IS only 18, so it is bring-your-own-tequla.

    Tonight, we're going to a church BBQ so we'll have burgers an' weenies.

    Tonight we brought in some buffalo wild wings and potato wages and I mixed up a few really good cocktails. Hopefully, sleep soon after spending last night in the emergency room.

    Well, I really want BBQ spare ribs, But because the husband is working, it will probably be spaghetti.

    Having grilled chicken, mashin' 'tatoes, and mixed veggies for Sunday lunch. Dinner tonight will either be ramen noo-noos or omelettes and toast. Not sure which. Hubby has to be at work in four hours and I don't make anything "good" without him.

    Decided on BLTs. I was going to make spaghetti and meatballs, but it's just too hot for that. Even with air conditioning it just seems like spaghetti is too heavy for the weather. When I worked in an Italian restaurant, I could never understand how people would order stuff like spaghetti or lasagna to eat on the patio. In 90 degree weather. Made me sick just watching them. lol

    Also decided to make chipotle deviled eggs. can't wait! It's amazing what you can do with eggs.

    Hi Cindy, That sounds interesting...What are banana sammies? My Gran use to smash banana on buttered toast, it was pretty good... Gotta admit, I still eat it after all these years. Is it the same?

    I spread mayo on bread and slice bananas on it. IIRC mama used to sprinkle black pepper on hers. Ew. And I don't like them with peanut butter, either.

    Hi Cindy, Ah...I had a friend who use to like those...I'm personally a peanut butter nut..but oddly not in candy and don't like peanuts- just the peanut butter, isn't that strange?

    Tonight we'll probably have spaghetti Carbonara.

    I'm going to fix a sort of "rice bowl" with steamed rice, spicy chicken, black beans, Monterey jack cheese and salsa.

    I'm funny like that too with bananas. I would touched a mashed banana sandwich, banana bread, or cold banana pudding with bananas--the pudding mix you buy at the store is ok, just don't add the raw bananas.

    Not to me. I love pumpkin spice lattes and pumpkin bread, but loathe pumpkin pie. I loooooove peanut butter and banana sammiches....sometimes I like to drizzle honey over the bananas before I smash the sammich together. I also love peanut butter and marshmallow sammiches...nummy nums.

    Tonight, Miss E and I had egg salad. Hubby got free food at work for doing some extra stuff at the end of his shift, and Schmoo's feeling a bit under the weather. I'd needed to hardboil some eggs for my breakfasts at work this week, so I threw in a few extra and I had egg salad. Miss E had egg salad soup. Yep. She adds water to her egg salad. Weird.

    Made open-faced roast beef sandwiches with fried potatoes and onion for my Uncle. I'll probably end up having some tilapia. My Aunt stayed home from work because she isn't feeling well, so I'll probably end up making her some soup with crackers.

    I want Jap food but have to wait until Sissy is in the mood for it. If I asked she would probably pick me up some and then go where she wants to eat, but I hate to impose. So I don't know what I'm having tonight. Tomorrow we may have chicken.

    What kind of bread? I'm not a bread eater but I do like it with spaghetti.

    We decided to have chicken tonight instead of tomorrow.

    Its from Costco. Its called "country French," but its like heaven. Super soft in the middle and just a hint of a crust. Its divine and I've told my daughter (who brought it home yesterday) that she's forbidden to ever bring it home again. Its really that good.

    That bread sounds heavenly, McCourt! I could survive on just bread and Diet Coke, I think...

    Tonight we're having eggs with bacon, sausage, and toast. I was going to make biscuits, but Miss E has to leave in less than an hour to go to a friend's house to work on a school project. After dinner, I have 90 minutes to get my breakfast for tomorrow packed, and my shower taken before before I have to work my other job. Thankfully, it's from home.

    My house smells freaking amazing. I've been slow cooking homemade meatballs in my homemade spaghetti sauce. Of course I take a portion of the sauce without meat for myself. Then going to make some garlic bread. It seemed fitting. The weather today feels like fall. I'm also baking a strawberry cake.

    That works. I have cheap rum here to mix in Kool-aid. $7 versus $15. I'm a cheap drunk.

    I'm going to put some chicken thighs on the Foreman grill, then I'll put them in a dish and put them in the oven covered with BBQ sauce. I'll do some mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, and salad to go with it.
