july 31, 2012 lunch

leftover stovetop pork carnitas. i ate some last night for dinner too (with avocado! sadly, one did not make it into my lunch today), but it seems to have been consumed with no paparazzi in sight. today, though, a camera was ready and waiting and caught a bowl of citrus-y, cumin-y pork shoulder in the act of posing with a starlet of a salad.

leftover stovetop pork carnitas with salsa and guacamole on butter lettuce leaves, with a side of steamed artichoke, with grass-fed butter and lemon juice for dipping.

july 4, 2012 dinner

happy fourth! these kind of look like little firecrackers, right? we made stovetop pork carnitas, out of my new favorite cookbook. (i love mel's super-specific instructions, foodie bent and goofy sense of humor - this cookbook is as entertaining to read as it is useful!) anyways, the pork shoulder turned out very tender and flavorful. we ate it on butter lettuce leaves with dollops of salsa and guac. yum!
