      Last night my wife gave me a break from cooking. She went to our grill and grilled up some massive 2-inch thick boneless pork chops from Safeway using a salt, herbs and a cayenne pepper rub that was to die for. Polished it off with a Smirnoff Iced beer and this satisfied puppy went lights out by 9pm.

      My wife sure knows how to love me...thru my tummy.
      Life is what you make of it...so please read the instructions carefully.

            i don't have time to describe it much, but two nights ago, eric and i went to los chaparros on beretania.

            we started the meal with matching shots of don julio anejo (woo hoo! great way to soothe a canker sore on the back of my throat!). then came the red snapper ceviche. the owners tell you to add as much hot sauce as you like yourself, so you can make it spicy or enjoy it as is (it's tasty w/o the tapatio, but we like it hot). eric ordered the chicken mole, and the sauce was a deep savory cocoa experience. i had the chili verde. the pork was tender and the sauce seasoned quite well with herbs. actually, the seasoning is the thing at LC. refried beans can be bland but theirs is brightened by seasonings like cumin. neither are they fatty. we drank carta blanca whilst eating our entrees. dessert was a flan and a b-52 coffee (italian coffee, grand marnier, kahlua, bailey's).

            it's my new favorite mexican restaurant. here's nadine kam's review.

            oh, and then we went to see iron man. so cool have only 20 people in the same theatre as you, and all of them relatively quiet so you can fully enjoy the show. loved the movie!

                            Homemade pork and beans, hotdogs, and coke.

                            I finally figured out how to make what reasonable passes for Campbell's beans...can't get em over here....

                            Soak small beans (I use what's called cocos) overnight and then drain them and fill up canning jars almost halfway full. Bury a small piece of porkbelly in the beans (optional), and fill the jars with a mixture of one part ketchup to three parts water. Seal and pressure can one hour and fifteen minutes at ten pounds pressure.

                            Different brands of ketchup will give you widely different tastes...I prefer Heinz.

                                that's a good one. I keep saying I'm going to get a costco membership just so I can get one of those whenever I want.. It's amazing the price compared to a smaller "chef" salad you buy at Safeway..
