  1. Huh. That will probably block the WGOM, but I'm not 100% sure.

    1. I get the need to find ways to monetize twitter but it's so weird to me that the owners (and this pre-dates Elon) don't understand how people use Twitter. There are a lot of bots that are just harmless fun. There's one that is just The Boys are Back in Town lyrics over and over, Or the "is it a home run in every park" bot, etc. They drive engagement and keep me on the site longer. No way are any of those guys going to pay something like $500 a month to stay on twitter. And if they aren't there, I'll be on less. So less eyeballs on the ads they want to sell.

      So yeah, probably reversed in a week.

  2. Looking forward to lunch today. Leftover homemade refried beans (pork lard, cannellinis, onion, S&P) that I’ll reheat and use to make frijoles refritos quesadillas with the chunk of pepper jack left over from making biscuits. Gonna pop a Topo Chico in the fridge now to wash it all down.

        1. So delicious! I want to go back in slightly (ha!) warmer weather and eat out on the patio overlooking the Mississippi.

          1. Yes. I went in December so I haven't been on the patio.

            I can't remember what all we ate but the roasted sweet potato was my favorite. The only time I've had better sweet potato was at Young Joni.

  3. Pork for pernil is rubbed and wrapped.
    For the adobo:
    4 tsp dried oregano
    7 tsp kosher salt
    9 cloves garlic, chopped
    1 tsp ground black pepper
    Juice and zest of one lime
    Juice of two cuties
    About 3-4 tbsp olive oil

    I blitzed all that in my food processor. I probably should used just one of the cuties, as my adobo was pretty wet.

    I trimmed some of the fat off my pork butt and stabbed the butt all over, then rubbed the adobo on all sides, trying to push some into the slits. Wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and heavy-duty foil and back into the fridge. I will turn it once or twice before roasting it at 400 degrees tomorrow for several hours (rubbing with salt before roasting).

    Seems like a lot of salt. The recipe was for an 8-9 lb roast, but mine is only about 4.5 lbs. I probably should have cut back. We shall see.

    1. Maybe a bit salt heavy - I've cut way back on the sodium because genetics and my doctor is a jerk says I should. Skin on requires more salt to make crisp cracklins .... I don't think you'll suffer tho. If you under salt the sides you can achieve a "balance" maybe..... or just enjoy the salt blitz and drink a pedialite in the morning.

      1. Well, I did 7 instead of "8 or 9" tsps, so...maybe?

        Thanks for the tip re: skin. I think I will just skip the extra tsp salt rub called for and hope for the best.
