Re: April GTKY
1. What did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be a lawyer. But when I found out how long I had to go to school, I changed my mind.
2. What is your biggest fear?
That has changed since I've had S. Now it is getting into a car accident while she is in the car.
3. What is your favorite food?
All things chocolate!! Which I can't have right now
.
4. Do/did you play a musical instrument?
I used to play the flute while I was in school. Not sure if I can play anymore.
5. If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
I would live in Puerto Rico right on the beach.
6. If you could only take 3 items with you to a deserted island, what would they be?
Phone, TV, and chocolate. Granted, the phone and TV would have to have service so I could actually use them.
1. What did you want to be when you grew up?
A dolphin trainer. But I'm not grown up yet so I guess there's still a chance.
2. What is your biggest fear?
That my kid(s) won't grow up to be good people.
3. What is your favorite food?
Pasta.
4. Do/did you play a musical instrument?
I used to play flute, too. @Ladybug2821 man, are we cool or what?
5. If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
New Hampshire in the summer, Florida in the winter.
6. If you could only take 3 items with you to a deserted island, what would they be?
A water jug, waterproof matches and a sturdy raft.
You'll be living the dream for a short while there, though! haha
1. What did you want to be when you grew up? I wanted to be a marine biologist and do deep see exploration documentaries for the Discovery Channel, marry Steve Irwin (I didn't mind being a second wife!), and also be a vampire. None of those have panned out so far.
2. What is your biggest fear? 1. Having something happen to my babies or 2. Being burned alive.
3. What is your favorite food? I could live off of carnitas. Seriously, not to toot my own horn, but I make the best carnitas ever. I wish I could make you all dinner one night to prove it! (Will gladly give my recipe too if you're interested).
4. Do/did you play a musical instrument? Nope, music was never encouraged whilst I was a wee lass. Only my brother was offered such opportunity. And he would shreds the metalz and punk rock on his guit-fiddle, while I was but a lowly manager for his band.
5. If you could live anywhere, where would it be? Oregon. My heart belongs to the West Coast.
6. If you could only take 3 items with you to a deserted island, what would they be? A survival manual, a knife, and a large roll of bailing wire. I believe I could make everything else if I had those items. One day I'm going off the grid.
1. Acquire large pork roast of your choice.
2. Remove pork from packaging, dry the roast with a towel or some paper towels, then rub the roast down with salt and pepper.
3. Make a wet rub with the following:
1 tbls. Olive oil
1 tsp. Garlic salt
1 tsp. Pepper
1 tsp. Paprika
1tsp. Oregano
1/2 tsp. Chili Powder
1/2 tsp. Cayenne (more or less or none optional depending on how spicy you like your carnitas!)
4. Rub that roast down real good with that rub. I mean REALLY romance it in there, then place roast in crock pot.
5. Chop up 1 whole red onion (red onion had the BEST flavor)
6. Chop up 1 or 2 whole jalapeños (seed depending on how spicy you like your peppers)
7. Mince up 1 clove of garlic, or use a tsp. of pre-minced garlic.
8. Chop up some sprigs of cilantro until you have about a tablespoon of it.
9. Mix up items 5-8 in a bowl
10. Cut 2 whole limes and squeeze the juice into the bowl with chopped items and mix well (you may also use 1 orange and 1 lime for that authentic Cuban taste, but I don't care for the orange personally).
11. Pour onion/lime juice mixture over the roast.
13. Let cook on low for 8 hours or high for 6 hours, serve with tortillas and all the fixin's or eat it by itself because it's that awesome
I also have the most incredibe roast beef recipe if you guys are interested in some more spicy food, and a different twist on roast!
Mississippi Roast
1 beef rump or shoulder roast
1 package ranch dip or ranch dressing mix (check packaging for dairy, opt. For vegan mix if you can find it)
2 packages onion soup (au ju for non-dairy option) or onion dip mix
1 stick real butter (use stick of margarine for dairy free option)
3-6 potatoes cut up depending on how you many potatoes you like.
Hot pepperocinis
Okay, put potatoes in the crock pot first. Sprinkle one pack of onion soup/dip mix over the potatoes. Put the roast on top of your potatoes, place the stick of butter/margarine directly on top of the roast, then sprinkle contents of ranch and second onion mix package. Artfully arrange the pepperocinis strategically in the pot (I would only use about 3, I used 6 last time and it was waaaay too spicy for DD, and it was even spicy for me)
Let that bad boy cook on low for 8 hours or high for 6, then enjoy!
It is soooo creamy and delicious, I'll never make a "normal" roast again! Unless of course, the family asks me to
