Puerco Pibil--Once Upon A Time in Mexico Style
Sun, 2011-02-13 09:43 — Pat HeymanHere is yet another reason not to see movies at the theater. In Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Robert Rodriquez' sequel to Desperado, Johnny Depp's character is just crazy about Puerco Pibil. On the DVD extra "Ten Minue Cooking School," Robert Rodriguez shows how to make Puerco Pibil. (Of course, now with the magic of youtube, anyone can watch the extra.) Having made the dish several times, I'd like to present this dish along with some tips and modifications.
Black sapote
Sun, 2010-03-14 19:05 — Pat HeymanOne of my hobbies/interests of late has been producing my own food. I'm starting small with fruit trees. One of my first scouting trips took me to Excalibur Fruit Trees where among other things I was exposed to the Black Sapote. The owner told us that when ripe, the fruit actually tastes like chocolate pudding. She gave us an unripe fruit to take home and try. This video records the reaction of my parents trying it for the first time.
