October Days and Shredded Cuban Pork
Recently there was a showing of Thirteen Days on the television. Have you seen that one? It’s the 2001 film dealing with the Cuban Missile Crisis, the thirteen days in October when the world stood at the brink of yet another war, one with possible Nuclear consequences.

But honestly, it was five in the morning, my camera battery was somewhere other than in its bag, and as I staggered around in our kitchen half-asleep, my blog and snapping photos were the furthest things from my mind. Start dinner, make coffee and pack lunches for my guys, those were the things on my mind this morning.

Crock Pot Pork Chile Verde
For a few months now I’ve been cooking up some yummy dishes from Mexico. An extension on the whole Taco Tuesday craze if you will. We’ve done so many delicious Mexican inspired dishes.
