Hmmm. So last night (Saturday) we had my parents over for dinner. I made horseradish-crusted beef tenderloin with a horseradish cream sauce. Ms1995hoo made a potato side dish and peas and we had Fox Meadow red wine. All-around outstanding.
So tonight my name is Mud. I told her I was going to make New Mexico–style green chili (chile verde) using four pounds of pork. She SAW me load up the slow cooker with pork, green chiles, tomatillos, a jalapeño, and some other stuff......yet when we sat down to eat around the end of halftime, I got chewed out because "chili is supposed to be red" and "chili is made with beef." But she SAW ME MAKE IT and never complained. I thought it wasn't bad. Not the best chili I've ever made, but it was something different and that's what I had in mind. Guess I know not to make this one again.
At least the corn bread was outstanding. I used a Hawaiian recipe. Second time I've made it and it is simply superb:
