Pulled Pork with Corn Tortillas Casserole

Step One (slow cook pork)
  • pork loin (about 2.25 pounds)
  • 1 can (10 ounces) red enchilada sauce
  • 1 chicken flavor ramen noodles seasoning packet
  • Cook pork for several hours in a crockpot with the seasoning packet (not the noodles!) and enchilada sauce.  NOTE:  This will make enough meat for TWO batches of the recipe.  Freeze the other portion to have on hand for a quick meal for a later time, or take a meal to someone.

Step Two (pull the pork apart)
  • 1 1/2 cups sour cream
  • 1 can (7 ounces) diced green chilis
  • When the pork is tender and easily shreds, then using two forks, shred the pork, leaving small shreds, without any big chunks of meat.  Add the green chilis and sour cream.

Step Three (assembling)
  •  1 package of 10 corn tortillas
  •  HALF of the pulled pork mixture, warmed for assembly (if you refrigerated it previously)
  • 1 can charro beans (can substitute for any other kind of beans), drained
  • 1 can hominy (or corn), drained
  • 1 jar (11 ounces) HEB "That Green Sauce" (alternate creamy green sauces would work)
  • 8 ounces freshly grated Colby Monterey Jack blend cheese
  • Spray a non-stick cooking spray on the bottom of a 9" x 13" casserole pan, then tear the tortillas apart and layer evenly over the bottom. Carefully spoon the pork mixture onto the tortillas, followed by the drained beans and hominy, then the green sauce, and topped with the cheese.  Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes.
Step Four (garnishing)
  • 2 avocados, diced
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes, diced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • Prepare the avocados, tomatoes and onions, by dicing them uniformly, then add salt and pepper.  Serve on top of the casserole.
  
Freeze the other half of the pulled pork mixture to use another time.

Triathlon triumph

Are you kidding me? A triathlon and I have never belonged in the same sentence. It must have been time for something new! (The "BEFORE" race shot, with goggles and swim cap in hand.) What an unforgettable week this was! I actually DID enter my first triathlon, with the goal of simply finishing it. Take note of the emphasis on the word FIRST, because I loved it so much, that you can guarantee that there will be more. It was a blast. Seriously. My friends Lorraine and Robin had trained and signed up to do the event, which was two days ago, on Saturday. Three days beforehand, I heard about it and basically had a spontaneous urge to join them, so I registered. The only partial preparation ahead of time that I had been doing was cycling in the neighborhood here and there on my mountain bike with some other friends. And doing some micro-laps in our backyard pool. Our friend, Dave, was also there. The three of us women appreciated Dave's encouragement and support, as he's ...

The BIG REVEAL!

We LOVE our new pool! There are a couple of problems that need to be fixed, so we're crossing our fingers that they get it done right, and soon, considering we have given them the final check for the balance of the pool, and we don't have any leverage. Three of the waterfalls work. This is the main one and I like the natural look. Below, here's the deep end waterfall, and it's flows nicely. The water sheer like this one, that flows into the shallow beach area, is the fall that is not working. It's frustrating, but hopefully they'll fix it soon. The fountain in the spa is blocked too. Here's the small rock waterfall, which works just great. It took about 18 hours to fill the pool and we practically watched it gallon by gallon. I stayed up all night long, making sure it didn't overflow. We swim in it every day. Last night we went on a midnight swim and it was beautiful. The water temperature is perfect. I'm extremely thankful that we have our new...

Our new daughter!

This picture was taken at church a few days ago while Kelly was on his way to the US for work this week. We have some wonderful news to share.  We are adopting 7-year-old Yeh Min Yu, who has been in our home off and on the last couple of months.  There's a lot that goes into making this official, dealing with US Homeland Security to arrange for her immigration visa, Taiwan courts and Chinese documents, getting a home study done by a licensed, qualified person, applying for a passport.  You have no idea.  I'll be glad when it's all done, but I couldn't wait to share this bit of joy with everyone.  We will name her Hannah to go on her new US birth certificate.  She's excited and nervous to go to America with us.  She can say more than 100 words in English so far.  Some of her favorite things to say are "small dog, butterfly, apple, pig."  She says it more like pig-uh.  We love her and feel this is one of the reasons we came to Taiwan....
