Chili Colorado ...or some such thing

I so suck. I totally promised David I would post the recipe for Chili Colorado that I bragged about last Thursday Thirteen and then I promptly spaced it. Such a tard monkey.

Sorry David and here it is!

This is basically my way of making two meals out of a boneless pork loin roast. I buy the unseasoned ones and just roast them ala Greek. The second night I cube the left over pork and add it with a chopped yellow onion and a couple cloves of garlic in a nice sized sauce pan. I use a bit of olive oil, but I really like it when the pork gets seared a bit as well. I cooked those until the onions start to go translucent.

Add in 2 large cans of chopped mild green chilis. Or medium/hot. Your colon, your choice. Add 1-2 cans low sodium chicken broth and one Large jar of southwest salsa. Vary these depending on the amount of pork you have left over. I use Fred's/Krogers brand. Just get the kind with corn and whole black beans. Let it simmer and serve it in the big tortillas with refried beans and sour cream. Tis the yum.

One Night In Bangkok And The World's Your Oyster

Thai food tonight me thinks. Ohh...or Pho or Bun. I am in a soup mood and at the same time filled with very little inclination to cook. I'd make the Killer Beer Cheese Soup but the idea of peeling 12 potatos is unappealing.

Ba dum dum.

That's right folks I'll be here all week.

Which in fact I will. Doing dinner at Mom's tomorrow night and then will be in to work on Saturday and Sunday. Just not sure how long. Monday I am taking off completely. I am already down for a friggin road trip. I have to get on HWY 26 and cruise out like I am going to the coast to meet the Ex (husband variety) and pick up the kid around 10:30 on Monday am. Sort of a rest area swap since they are spending Christmas Eve at his girlfriends parents house. And they live out in the back of beyond halfway to the beach in methlab land.

I had offered to drive her half way to Gresham that night so she could see HIS family but she is not feeling that much running around and has put the breaks on that idea. Sucks that she has to spend Christmas Eve with a bunch of people she could give a rats ass about, but oh well. You can't pick your parents or the skeezes they date.

I did the good mommy routine last night and took her out to buy Christmas presents for her dad and his girlfriend. Yes, you read that right. Her father is that much of an asshat that he doesn't think to help her with presents for people like his girlfriend or gosh, me, her own mother. I have purchased every Father's Day, Christmas, and birthday gift he has ever had from her in his entire life and that includes the last 7 years since we split up. My mom pays for mine. He pays for jack.

I did draw the line at getting anything for her obnoxious Emo Spawn children. Uh uh honey, Mama don't play that.
