Slow Roasted Cuban Pork recipe
Hi,
Quite a few years back, I had a recipe I can no longer find at home or on the internet, which is where I believe I first found it.
It's for Cuban slow roasted pork with mojo sauce. The recipe's instructions called for putting the roast in the oven on very low heat for at least 24 hours. (I've found a similar one on Epicurious, but would prefer to re-find the one I originally used).
Sound familiar? If so, can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

roasted carrots
Preheat oven to 400
Place baby carrots on a cookie sheet (one with sides), drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper
Roast in hot oven until fork tender...about 30-40 minutes...yummy and easy!
Mashed potatoes:
You have to mix in sour cream to stabilize the mashed potatoes or they will become watery. But twiced baked potatoes freeze amazing this way.
Have fun!
mashed potatoes, baby!!!

Hmm, roasted peppers, olives, garlic, tomatoes
Yummy! My husband and I neither one grew up eating the above - we had mostly the bland food and the reason being, there are a lot of people who just do not know how to use spices and seasonings. Glad grown now because I have all those delicious things you speak of. Years ago in Mexico I had roasted green peppers with cheese- tried to match but mine never the same. Mouth is watering!

burned the crap out of my belly with mashed potatos
I was just stiring instant potatos and then somehow it jumped on my belly and now I have this 2-3 inch mass of skin that has blisters, some of which have popped, and this one 2 inch round lesion that just looks gross. I probably should have gone to the hospital, but since I have no money I just treated it over the counter with antibiotic ointment. Has anyone done this before? If so what did you use? It is painful!!!! I bought this lidocaine stuff, but it hurts worse. At least it is healing!!! I am a dum dum!!! Those potatos were out to get me darnit!!!

Pork Roast
I'm not sure of the side dishes yet.
What's with pork? Who might that offend?
I agree with everything you said. We bow to every whim in an effort NOT to offend people here, except for our own citizens! And christians...but I won't go there. I'm not particularly fond of *Halloween* decorations, but do like to decorate for fall with hay and scarecrow, pumpkins, and that sort of stuff...
pork roast
Are you browning/searing it before you do any cooking with it? That sometimes can make a difference - even if you're going to put it in the crockpot or cook it in the oven. Try searing it in a pan with a little bit of olive oil and then putting it in the oven or crockpot. This gives it another layer of flavor with the carmelization on the outside, but it also helps keep the juices in.

Forgot the veggies - sm
BirdsEye mixed veggies too. Scoop about 1/2 cup out of the package and pop in the microwave while the chicken is grilling.
I buy the big bag of mixed veggies and a bag of boneless chicken tenders. I grill up a bunch of the chicken, then cut it into bite size pieces when it has cooled. I use freezer containers (I think Rubbermade) and mix the veggies and chicken together, then fill the containers, pop it in the freezer for when I want a single serving, like for lunch. When I want to use them, I add about 1 tsp of water, put the lid back on loosely and zap it for about 1.5 minutes. Easy Peasy
Veggies and dip, slaw.

I have always grown veggies - sm
And this year it looks like doing so will really pay off! I mean, for a few dollars I can get enough plants to cover my 100 sq feet of raised beds and really make a dent in the cost of produce, which we eat a lot of. Happy gardening! 
We can our veggies every year...sm
We go out to the countryside to U-Pick veggie fields. Last year picked lots of tomatoes for 20 cents a pound. Also picked or bought eggplant, peppers, pears, apples, peaches. We canned the tomatoes and fruits; froze the peppers, and ate the eggplant (not sure how to preserve those yet). We also freeze snap peas from the garden and some other stuff. Whoa, I sound like a little country Cathy, don't I?  Anyway, hopefully this helps support the farms/farmers and keeps their land away from developers. Off my soap box now. 
root veggies
I have read that root vegetables like carrots, beets, etc., absorb the irrigation water & pesticides & this cannot be washed off, so this would be the place to spend the extra money on organic veggies. For other kinds of veggies, just keep in mind that the pesticides often are sprayed in an oily base, so plain water won't get rid of it. You have to use soap (doesn't take much) & then rinse really well. It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing. Also I read an article in Sunset last month about how you can grow your own organic veggies in a very small space, only about 10 x 10 feet, & get quite a harvest out of it.

I think we expect that kids won't like veggies, and ....
I think that generally, in this country we do a very bad job of cooking vegetables. And, I think that we just generally expect that kids don't like vegetables. I grew up eating a Mediterranean diet. My grandparents and most of my neighbors were Italian immigrants. We lived in a part of NJ where you could grow just about anything. We had lots of fresh vegetables, lots of fish, and my grandmother made all of her pasta by hand with a combination of white flour and semolina. I don't think any vegetable was cooked longer than a minute or two, and there were always piles of vegetables at every meal. It was just part of the diet.
I have a Korean foster son, and he enjoys things like smoked squid legs and seaweed. It's just the normal diet for his culture. Kids in other countries eat all sorts of things that Americans consider ghastly. So, really, I think it's more just our culture. Americans tend to give kids more bland, smooth foods for a longer time, and then later, the fast food, high-sugar, high-fat culture kicks in. It's just so bad for all of us. I remember thinking that roasted peppers were the best thing in the world, and I clearly remember eating them for lunch when I was too young to go to school. I don't think you'd find too many American parents who'd consider roasted peppers toddler food! LOL
That's my theory, anyway.
yes I like the peaches too but forget the veggies
you CAN add them to your kid's food for added vitamins. I might just start buying carrots and adding them to my kid's Chef Boyardee!
Shepherd's Pie with lots of veggies
It's very filling and you can do wonders with only 1 lb of ground beef if you make this. Add enough veggies to displace some of the meat, whatever you have on hand.
It only takes about 4 potatoes to make enough topping, too.
I occasionally put a pork loin on the grill. nm

Pork roast...details below if anyone is interested
I do mine with tomatoes, basil and a clove of frash garlic and just a tad of oliver oil. I wrap that in foil and put it on the grill. I make this with red potatoes (slice partway open and put some butter inside, wrap in foil and grill also). I usually steam some green beans to go along with it, but this is a throw it on and forget about is for 45 minutes. Not great for those thighs but tastes heavenly!

I looked on Google and got totally carried away reading about the lovebirds. One thing, if your birds are hand-fed they will be much better pets, will allow you to handle them when they are grown. If you have no dogs or cats, you might even let them have a birdie playground on top of the cage, but that's for somebody who has really worked with the little guys since Day One of life. Have Fun!
