I sort of followed a recipe for the crock pot Barbacoa beef that my husband requested. I didn't brown the meat, but used a technique to help create a tender meat at the end of the cook time.
(How dinner turned out and topped with red onion and cilantro - delicious!)
While the meat was cooking in the crockpot, I made a breakfast, using my smaller cast iron pan - Sausage Gravy Dutch Baby. I completely forgot to top it with green onion. I have some in the freezer. Our outside green onion is not weather ready yet.
I think I used every utensil, bowls, pans, and even my food processor and blender, but I got a it all done, and it will last for a few days thankfully.
Funny thing happened. I watched America's test kitchen while I took a break and crocheted. I learned some things on frying fish in a pan, and the funniest part was that they gave tips on cooking Mexican dishes. They also shared a recipe for fresh salsa (not news to me), but funny it was the same day I was cooking a Mexican beef taco dinner. By the way, they said when you make quesadillas, brush oil on the sides after you fold it over for a more crisp tortilla vs. putting oil in the pan.
We have rain today, and warning of freezing rain. Lovely. Not what we needed, and they are saying the wettest day we've had in 2 years. It's gonna be a muddy mess out there. My fall planted garlic will love it though.
