A Broad Abroad

ok - it’s not new a “new” meat at all, but cooking it is new to me. if you’ve read my blog you know i am a HUGE fan of cochinita pibil (yucatecan recipe for pork slow-cooked in banana leaves). tonight the pork is marinading and tomorrow it will be wrapped in banana leaves (found in fruitvale tienda) and slow roasted in my oven. woohoo! but right now the skin under my nails is burning from the habanero pepper :). i have no idea if it will rival the meat that filled my salbutes in MX. if it’s even close i will have a happy soul (and belly). and then i will start sharing the love……. and we will assimilate you….
