Sweet, Sweet Honeydew & shredded pork tacos



The market was kind today - the melons were warm and sweet and you could smell an actual fragrance - mmmm- a flowery bliss, waiting to be sliced and eaten, dripping lusciousness.

Also, pork shoulder that was marinated in mexican marinade (name to come in a later post, I already tossed the bottle and need to get a new one at the market - and can't remember the name!) and orange juice, then roasted in the bbq for 4 hours on low heat, then shredded and served with salsa, lettuce, tomatoes, cilantro, onions, warm corn tortillas, and sour cream........so yummy, we ate until stuffed, which is a good thing when you are eating fruits, veggies, corn torts and roasted meats...........

Take a pork shoulder and soak it in a marinade of orange juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, black pepper, and coriander seed for at least four hours, hopefully up to 24. Then roast it on the bbq, in a foil pan. Blast it as hot as you can get it for an hour, then lower the temp as low as you can get it for another three hours. Let it sit another half hour and then shred it or slice it fine and serve with condimenti - don't forget beautiful chopped ripe tomatoes and a nice salsa from the mexican store. Eat until completely stuffed and then watch Dancing with the Stars. Argue about whose butt is cutest. My vote is for Maks.
