South American Pork

1 pork tenderloin up to 3lbs.(although any cut of fresh pork will do nicely)
1-2 cans of green chiles
1 can enchilada sauce
1 can jalapenos
1 can black beans
1 can red beans (we use spicy)
1 can Mexican diced tomatoes

Directions:

1. Put all of this into a dutch oven. I usually mix all the canned ingredients together first.
2. Cook over slow heat, 6-8 charcol on bottom and 12-14 on top, for at least 4 hours.
3. Pull meat apart into bite size pieces and serve with flour tortillas, warmed over the campfire, and a variety of condiments. We like sour cream and cheese.

I have used fresh picnic, shoulder roast, country style ribs, sirlon roast. Just cut off as much fat as possible.
My son started making it in our crockpot years ago and it is a keeper.

it was a sad tuesday when scrubs didn’t come on. I thought there was still a lot they could do with it. Admittedly, the stuff that went on OUTSIDE the hospital was kind of dopey, but I still thought they were coming out with fresh material and it was one of the few shows that made me laugh on a regular basis.

I was reading something on salon.com that suggested you measure a comedy show’s value by how many times you laugh. The author pointed out that if you get one or two good guffaw’s out of a show then its a keeper. Otherwise, for the majority of comedies maybe you smile or are gently amused throughout but you’re not really LAUGHING about it, you know?

I used that criteria to guage most of the crap I watch and decided that there are only a small number of comedies that are worth keeping.

Two and a Half Men - its a keeper. I usually laugh out loud several times during this show. Liz isn’t crazy about it, but it keeps me in stitches.

My Name is Earl - its borderline. I get some pretty profound chuckles out of it.

Finally - and I’m not proud of this one:
America’s Funniest Home Videos - An hour of people falling on their asses and getting whacked in the nuts. What could be funnier? Seriously, I burst out laughing maybe 25 times in an hour of AFV. Its a guilty pleasure because the humor is of a lowest common denominator variety. And how many times can you see a skateboarder wipeout and still think its funny?

I don’t know, but when I’ve seen enough I’ll let you know!!

WHEW!!

Funny stuff.
