  1. @PVPAUL - as @tekobo said I wouldn’t mess with the recipe too much, the quantity is a lot but you can save it as she suggested. It also depends how much you’re cooking. I’m usually doing 8-9lb cut of meat so you need a lot of marinade. I’ve played around with other recipes over the years and md er thought they had that “authentic” flavor that I get from tacos in Tijuana. This is as close as I get

    for cross reference though you can always check recipes from Rick Bayless he’s the best American chef I know who cooks Mexican food and my palate aligns with his. He’s got a few but here’s one of his note the paste to meat ratio

    @Troble, what a fantastic spread and to think you even have your own home grown produce.:cheers:  :smt060  :mrgreen:

    I’m getting there. I got a total of 6 avocados from two trees this year out of a total of 6 trees that planted bud only 3 flowered last year. This year they all flowered and are much larger so I’m hoping for a bumper crop next year. All my plants exploded this past 4-6 weeks due to all the rain we got all winter. this is year 3 for all my trees and avocado trees really take 5-7 years down here to start really producing 
     

    Next year I should be in great shape with my avocados but my citrus & peach tree are so overrun with fruit that I’ve had to thin some branches so they didn’t break

  3. Cinco de Mayo has been the official kick off date for pool season here in San Diego the last few years since I remodeled my yard. I was golfing all day yesterday so today we did a Taco bar 

    marinated carne asada, homemade guacamole (with my first 3 avocados from the trees I planted 3 years ago) red onions, cilantro, roasted bell peppers, radishes, Mexican salsa, cotija cheese, toasted flour tortillas. Mexican rice, refried beans 

    San Diego staple dish

  4. I enjoyed the meal. The sides were really great. Pork was nice but I’m not a Carolina sauce type guy so I preferred the Kathy’s sweet sauce for my liking. Also the fact that they had a drive through was pretty bad ass 

  5. My work travels took me to Charleston, SC this week and I made a stop at Rodney Scott BBQ

    i got the whole hog plate with baked beans, Mac n cheese & cornbread. I tried all 3 sauces as well. Pork was very moist and well seasoned and I even got to go in the back for a pit tour

    What were you drinking?

    Maracuya pisco sour. Passion fruit pisco sour. It’s the only pisco sour I drink down there. They have big yellow passion fruits down there that are sweet and that is an absolute stunner of a drink

  7. Thank you everyone it was definitely a great trip most of all because after cancelling our trip in 2020 and 2022 because of COVID lockdowns we finally got to take my kids there to meet their 95 year old great grandma and a handful of aunts and uncles that they’ve never met 

     

    this place was also the best ceviche of my life and the mussels/shellfish dish was out of this world. I’ll be attempting those in the summer

    STUNNING, is all I can say. My challenge with those gorgeous platings would be to distinguish between what I'm supposed to eat and what is just decorations/garnishes??

    Funny you should say that. Last night at Mayta I had to ask about that a few times and by the 2nd to last course/dessert I tried to eat the corn chips before asking and the waiter started laughing at me telling me “you can’t eat that” keep in mind I was 10 wine pairings in by that point

    You're too kind! 🤗 I've learned a thing or 2 from you @Troble! I'd have never become addicted to Peruvian Green Crack Sauce before you posted the recipe for the chicken. 

    @tony b I’m headed to Peru March 24th after having to cancel our trip in 2020 & 2022. I’m going to come back with recipes specifically on that sauce. Last time I was there was 2014 and my cooking skills have improved a ton since then. Just you wait I’ll have a bunch of new stuff to try for sure
