can someone tell me the difference between diet coke and coke zero?...i'm confused lol

coke zero is the "no calories-coke" concept adopted to men. diet coke -> women (so "light") coke zero -> men (0% calories for 100% man!). besides, coke zero tastes better, see mass' post above.

Last night

Fucking love these, totally worth the dough:

Needed to make some more pickled onions - I keep a Tupperware of these at all times to eat with anything:

Ditto pickled cabbage, but this batch is from a couple of weeks ago:

Whipped roasted garlic mash:

7 minutes on a side in the broiler:

The squash there is acorn which was a leftover from the weekend. This is my grandma's recipe - butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, salt and fresh ground nutmeg inside the seed cavity of halved squashes roasted at 425 until very soft. Almost like a dessert. The wine is 2008 Georges DeBoeuf Saint-Amour.

No offense to your grandmother, but that's more like the world's recipe for acorn roasted acorn squash, ha.

Still, looks like a very satisfying meal. I fucking love winter squash.

hahaha yeah but there's a reason that's the case ;) Grandmas worldwide figured out the optimal way to make it, not just mine.

Although in her defense, real maple syrup is not always so available everywhere, so I've seen a lot more versions that use either just brown sugar or honey or something else instead of the maple.

There is nothing about the above image that isn't the single greatest thing I have ever seen. Had you made the banchan yourself rather than buying it premade you would have attained korean grandma nirvana...

Did you buy pre-marinaded meat (a la H-mart, the best place ever) or did you make your own?

how to make conchita pibil:

1) Obtain many pounds of boneless pork shoulder and marinate it 24 hours in homemade anchiote paste:

2) Line bottom of slow-cooker with sliced onion rounds:

5098790785_dee17ca34e.jpg

3) Line slow-cooker with 8 whole banana leaves and put pork inside:

5099391814_064889fa6b.jpg

4) Wrap up pork like a gorgeous little present inside banana leaves:

5099392246_abb58e7775.jpg

5) Cook for 14 hours:

To be continued. :)

If you want to know what was in the marinade:

About a half can of chipotle peppers

one head of garlic, minced,

a packet (I dunno, maybe a half cup?) of anchiote seeds, ground VERY fine

a teaspoon of whole allspice, a small stick of cinammon, a tablespoon of black pepper, and about two teaspoons of cumin seeds also ground very fine

the juice of: 4 Naranjas (the ones we get in NYC are typically not very juicy and full of seeds), and 2 limes

about a cup of apple cider vinegar

Chopped flat-leaf cilantro (they call it "culantro" in my neighborhood but I think that HAS to be some kind of in-joke)

A pinch of cayenne

It was pretty thick stuff, more like a paste than a marinade, and after 24 hours in the fridge covered with plastic wrap it was MUCH drier than when it started...

I didn't add any salt since I figured that would draw out moisture and I wanted to keep in moisture. Will salt it when I serve. The hope is that it will be like pulled pork texture. Plan to make guac and get some tortillas hecho a mano from a place I know on 184th street

So first, upon unwrapping the magic box:

5101110116_e452b29f01_z.jpg

That little piece there is where my fork nicked it. needless to say, VERY soft at this point.

Dug a couple of forks around into it for a few minutes and it shredded with almost no effort:

5101110968_81bcdb6fc5_z.jpg

First I needed to get it out of the slow cooker, before eating. Those banana leaves were sort of rising up and I wanted to get at the onions on the bottom. Plus it was easier to salt once in a separate container. Next to it are the pickled onions and you can just catch a bowl of guac there (very orthodox recipe: avocado, cilantro, jalapenos, lime juice, salt, red onion).

5100515561_ddcda4446b_z.jpg

I like to assemble my tacos one at a time from a plate. It's less messy:

5100514779_086de713ae_z.jpg

Those are tortillas hecho a mano from a little hole in the wall place near me. I get them for 10/$2.50

The final product (a little dark, but with the flash was WAY out of focus):

5100516561_2f615da31a_z.jpg

Really, really good. And I have enough of this stuff for probably 5-6 more meals at least.
