Well, I have accepted the challenge, and this is a preview of the New Cooking (and things related) Thread.
I'll post a tried-and-true recipe each week, on Friday evening; and I hope we generate lots of Good Cookin'!
I'd like it to also include recommendations of kitchen-ways - equipment that people find useful, techniques from Old Folks and Old Days, and new-fangled stuff, as well.
(As an example: The Husband Unit and I have a bet on the Super Bowl, and if my team wins I get to buy one of those little counter-top ovens that are run on tea-light candles. It's looking iffy at this point; but I'll get the stove anyway ;-)
Best,
JT, always prepping for good eating in Hard Times :-)
If you would like on, or off, of this list, just let me know.
Here Goes :-)
Yeahhhhhhhh
Here’s a recipe that my husband makes at least once every 10 days. It’s from Sunny Anderson on the Food Network. The pork sits in marinade for 1 hour on the countertop & while that sounds bad because it’s not in the fridge, it’s not. He loves them (I’m vegetarian) & people at his office are all making them now.

Here’s a Carne Adovado recipe too. We live in NM & hubby’s very into New Mexican food. This is good in burritos or tacos.
2 tablespoons canola oil
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons New Mexico red chile powder
2 1/2 cups warm water
3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/3 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon salt (we use much less because he’s on a salt restricted diet)
3 pounds cubed pork stew meat
1. In a skillet or frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. Stir in flour and brown until light golden brown. Blend in chile powder. Slowly add water, stirring until lumps are removed. Add garlic, oregano, cumin and salt. Simmer on medium heat for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
2.Place pork in a large baking pan or casserole pan. When chile mixture has cooled, add it to pork and mix until pork is covered with chile. Marinate pork for at least 12 hours or overnight.
3.Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
4.Bake pork in preheated oven for at least 4 1/2 hours, or until meat is well cooked, tender and falls apart.
Yeahhhhhhhh
