eightbitsamurai, kleinbl00, veen, Complexity,_refugee_, flagamuffin, zebra2, rjw, wasoxygen, humanodon, ghostoffuffle, rezzeJ, thenewgreen, b_b, flagamuffin, insomniasexx, Meriadoc, OftenBen, ButterflyEffect, elizabeth mk and forwardslash

Alright you slackers, right now the crown would go to 8bit, because he's the only one of you that has the good form to pony up a dish. Today is the deadline, it's Monday January 26th. If you would like more time, then let me know and I'll gladly oblige, otherwise I will call it at midnight.

P.S. You are all breaking my heart. (except 8bit, he keeps me going...)

Shit, i did make some burritos yesterday but failed to take pictures. My co-cook tooke some I think, I'll see if i can salvage enough pictures to make a post!

It was a pulled burrito with guacamole and salsa so definitely used a mixer :) Fkin delicious.

Look at the pork ready to be pulled:

Mmmmm.... Pork.

Yeah, post the photo if you have it. Also the process, I make tacos and burritos almost weekly and I need a good recipe.

elizabeth  ·  3666 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Dat pork...

I added some cheese, beans from a can, rice, and guacamole/salsa.

Guacamole was super easy: avocato, diced tomatoes, chopped onion, lime salt and hot sauce. Mixed it all up with my hands, i like it a bit chunky. But I bet it tasted good on a blender too.

Salsa was made with grilled tomatoes and jalapenos added with a bit of chicken broth and blended.

I'll take a picture of the final product tonight.

I love the soundtrack in the background. The "laugh" track was so inappropriate that it felt appropriate. That pork really does look tasty, but I guess 5 hours in an oven will do that. -Actually, strike that... 5 hours in an oven for most people would make it really tough. What's the secret?

elizabeth  ·  3665 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Honestly, i'm not sure. i wish we could have kept it there for a couple more hours but we were running short on time.

Maybe the 2 tablespoons of vinegar is what helped? other than that it was just salt, pepper, chicken broth and bbq sauce.

Alright alright alright. Will try to incorporate this into my cooking tonight. Can't promise anything pretty, though.

Alrighty all, OftenBen has requested an extension to tomorrow. I'll push the finish line to tomorrow at midnight. This will give elizabeth time to post pics and the rest of you time to put your aprons on and get busy.

OftenBen  ·  3666 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I keep making my submission, but because I make it early in the morning, I forget to take pics. Expect a submission early tomorrow morning.

(Sorry!)

Hmm, I probably could have submitted something I made recently if I had thought of it: GR's broccoli soup. I've been pretty lax on Hubskiing lately though. Would recommend that recipe though.

thenewgreen  ·  3666 days ago  ·  link  ·  

That soup looks great, you definitely should have posted it. He is so right that too many chefs season at the end of the meal. You have to cook with the seasoning. Also, I've noticed you've not been on a few much of lateā€¦ The amount of postcards I received is dwindling....

Warned ya! I'm moving this week.

thenewgreen  ·  3666 days ago  ·  link  ·  

What, your friends don't have stoves?

Good luck with the move!

The kid has been exploding out of both ends for the past 5 days while I've been coping with walking pneumonia. And we're going to Seattle tomorrow. Don't take it personally; I've been subsisting off of fried eggs and rice.

thenewgreen  ·  3666 days ago  ·  link  ·  

    fried eggs and rice.
Hell, take a photo and you just might win this thing.

Hope you and the kid feel better. I just returned from taking my daughter for her 4 year old shots. She had three of them today. Holy Christ was that difficult. She was less than graceful about it. Kicking, screaming and lots of "NOOOOOO"'s . Last night the baby woke up at 2am with a crazy fever. The doc thinks it's probably a sinus infection.

I feel ya.

Good luck pal
