The pork is slowly but surely making it’s way onto our table once or twice a week on average. Last night it was pork tacos for dinner. I chopped some onion, softened it in the pan and then added about a pound of ground pork. I spooned off as much of the fat as possible once it was browned over medium heat and then stirred in about a teaspoon each of garlic and onion powder, and about 2 teaspoons each of ground cumin and ancho chili powder then salted to taste. For a sort of refried bean kind of thing, I softend some more chopped onion in another pan, added canned black beans that had been drained and rinsed along with 1/3 can of water, 1/2 teaspoon each garlic and onion powder, 1 teaspoon each cumin and ancho chili powder and salt to taste. In addition we had a green salad with tomatoes and avocado and fresh grated cheddar cheese with toasted corn taco shells. Yum!
That’s some pig!

Sounds great! And like something a person who is trying to, ahem, reduce her sphere of influence could enjoy.

I don’t know why I have such a mental block about cumin. Honestly, it never occurs to me to use it for anything except tabbouleh. Sheesh. (dinner sounded yum!)
