We Will, We Will Rock You!

The best thing about posole is that is just keeps getting better and better and better!  You finish it before it hits it's peak.

That broth hits some sort of crescendo of flavor with the heat, the chiles, the Mexican oregano, the lemon juice, and then the crunch of those sweet cool onions.  The cilantro hits your nostrils first and then your pallet mixing with what would normally be an overload of flavors but no, this time they all just go perfectly together like a batch of crazy cult followers in a Texas barn.

Not everything works! Oh no, by no means and I am certainly big enough to admit my failures...foodwise that is.

Chimichurri over pasta with spinach although looking very green and delicious is a little too tart and possibly too light, not tough enough to be a real sauce for pasta perhaps.  But it wasn't bad, I ended up adding roasted salted sunflower seeds, Parmesan, pepper flakes and I had a good lunch of it.  But will I do it again?  No.  Actually, strike that...maybe as a cold salad!  No, still no.

It's all good though when you know for dinner you can whip up a heated bowl of leftover pork posole with all the added condiments!

You have regained your credibility in the house.
