Riccobono's Panola Street Cafe
You thought we disappeared again, didn't you?
Wrong.
KM moved last week and there just wasn't enough time to cook. There. Is. Never. Enough. Time. (Is that joke old yet? I hope so.)

Riccobono's is in Kerry's new 'hood so we thought we would check it out for Saturday breakfast. Some people say good things about Riccobono's. We don't, necessarily.
It's not that it's terrible... it's just not really good. Everything we had tasted like the sum of its ingredients... nothing more, nothing less. Kerry said the coffee was good, though, if you're into that sort of thing.
Here is the food stuffs -
Kerry had the Eggs Benedict. It looked like this and I can't tell you what it tasted like, because I don't eat things with Hollandaise Sauce, because it give me nightmares. Especially with those two beady olive eyes.
I had the burrito special. Here is a funny story about burritos. One time when my sister was a teenager, she babysat a kid whose father had told him that Mexican people only ate burritos. Three burritos a day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. What a stereotype, huh?
Well, my breakfast burrito had eggs in it, and peppers and cheese and probably onions and tomatoes I would guess... and it was vastly inferior to the one I had at Huevos a few weeks back. It wasn't as good as my lunch or dinner burrito that day either.
So there you go. Some pictures of food and a story about racist children!

Juan's Flying Burrito
So here's a short post with some longer ones coming.

Checked out Juan's Flying Burrito on Carrollton for the first time Yesterday. Much better than I expected. There are lots of burrito places in the world. The best I've ever been to is Atomic Burrito in Charlottesville, Virginia (note: i just read that it got shut down... so I'm behind the times). Juan's isn't as good but its pretty damn good.
I went with the El Pastor. Pork Pineapple Salsa, Pickled Jalapenos and other good stuff.
It's also nice to get some more Mid City places on this blog.

Pulled Pork Burritos
.jpg)
So this is a post that has been in the works for a few months now -- since before the blog existed, actually. Or I guess what I really mean is I had a pork roast in the freezer for a few months. I bought it back in December, but didn't have a Crock Pot at the time to slow cook it in. I got a little one over Christmas just for this occasion. And Kerry got a Cuisinart food processor for Christmas so we were excited about fresh salsa and guacamole as well.
MBA classes will get in the way of the best of plans, though, and it took us a few months to get to it. Worth the wait.

We slow cooked the pork all day. We threw in some chicken broth, some Montreal Chicken Seasoning, and she doesn't know it, but I put a little cumin in later. Then, while she was at one of our typical marathon MBA team meetings, I shredded it up and went to the store for some fresh salsa and guacamole ingredients.

The pico de gallo we made was really good. Just some fresh vine-ripened tomatoes, white onion, a little jalapeno and salt.

And then we used the same recipe for the guacamole, plus a fresh avocado (Robert's charged me the $1 Hass avocado price even though I got the $2 Frontera avocado). There is still some of this sitting in the fridge for consumption today. The Pico and Guacamole really made the meal.

So we wrapped it all up with a little cheese and lettuce on some skillet-warmed tortillas (ask Kerry how to roll up a burrito, she knows how to now). Delicious.
