Back from Sunny Florida

Our trip to Florida was great! The weather was not so great but the food was wonderful from a great mexican restaurant that made you feel like you were in someone's own dining room-we ate there twice that is how good it was to my crispy fried duck with a chilie sauce! Not a bad meal to be had.

However, we had to come home to warm up-so yesterday we were able to sit outside and enjoy the afternoon while preparing one of our favorite time consuming meals of the Summer. Green Chile Pork. This recipe we first had when we were in Scottsdale at the Roaring Fork-we have modified it numerous times since but everytime we have it it keeps getting better.

Basically it is lots of onions, garlic, green chilies whether they are poblanos, jalapenos or whatever suits your fancy and then you roast everything for hours until all the flavors come together-yesterday combined time this dish roasted for about 7 hours. When you decide it is done you add pepperjack cheese just to melt slightly into the meat and serve it on warm tortilla's.

I topped it last night with fresh spinach, avocado and purple onions dressed with olive oil, lime juice and salt and pepper.

I have to say-it is good to be home and able to create again-travelling brings out my desire to create!

Enjoy this dish
