Simple Carnitas

Wow this was awesome! My whole family loved it and it smelled wonderful while simmering! I had went online to browse lots of different ways of making this; some people simmered in lard, some peanut oil and I didn't like either of those methods so I used this recipe and was not dissapointed. I did take advice I found for adding a can of cola to the water; or you could add a can of beer. After two hours I took off the lid, took out oranges and bay leaves then turned up the heat and let the liquid cook down; it took about 15 minutes and then I let the meat brown in it's own fat... Delicious! Thanks for the awesome recipe Ken!:)

Cream of Mushroom Soup III

This was very good; I did omit the bouillon cube so I added a little paprika, thyme and a dash of cayenne to jazz it up a bit; I also used a small package of dried porcini mushroom which I soaked and then pureed until fine. I added them in when the mushrooms were almost done browning in the butter. :)

Suzy's Mashed Red Potatoes

These were awesome!.. I couldn't stop eating them. Hubby loved them too; I will make these a lot now that the cold season is coming. It's a nice change to have a creamy delicious mashed potato that doesn't need gravy! I added a dash of dill weed and some chives on top.
