I just ate some boiled beef



I'm racking my brain, and I cannot ever remember or imagine boiling beef.

What did I cook tonight?

13 Bean Soup with ham hock, tomato sauce, sauteed onion, garlic and chili powder
Salsa Roja (Rick Bayless; used dried, toasted and rehydrated piquin, cascabel and chipotle chiles coupled with broiled tomatillos and pan-roasted garlic)
Arroz al Ajo (a four-ingredient recipe from Andina, a much-praised Peruvian restaurant in Portland)
Drunken Pintos with Cilantro and Bacon (Rick Bayless, the "drunken" is Tequila stirred into the final product)
Carnitas (fatty pork shoulder chunks simmered 3+ hours in homemade chicken broth*, garlic, cumin, onion, cilantro, salt and black pepper, THEN baked it 450 for 20 minutes THEN hand-shredded, so one gets tender AND crunchy in every bite)

*-the broth is reclaimed and frozen for future usage in Mexican/Indian soup or rice dishes
