I guess this is the third posole-type variation I’ve posted over the past coupla years. See how it sits with you.

Ingredients:

~8oz of Ancho chile sauce, or red enchilada sauce made with Anaheim peppers, instead.
~1lb. pork loin, in about 1″ cubes
4-6 cups canned white hominy, drained
1 head of cabbage, chopped or shredded (chopped is better, IMO, but it’s your supper :-))
a couple of teaspoons of cayenne pepper (or do without and set a bottle of cayenne-based hot sauce by the places of folks who like it)
3-4 lemons or limes, juiced
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2-4 medium tomatoes, diced (use your favorite “sauce” tomatoes)
water to suit your pot
salt to taste (I prefer juuuust a little on the pork as it is browning)

Procedure:

Brown the pork with the onion and garlic.
Add all the other ingredients except the hominy and cover with water. Simmer for about 30 minutes.
Add the hominy and water as needed and simmer another 30 minutes or more.

Yum.

Kinda sorry I only had a cheapo low-rez camera with me this a.m. What you cannot easily discern is that the lower price is for the premium blend of gas… Just one more data point putting the lie to the “blood for oil” Iraq adventure meme. If the goal were to pump oil and bring down prices, then oil would be at an all-time low, because if the American forces were to simply and solely concentrate on securing the Iraqi oil fields and delivery system and leave the tribal and religious squabbles to those who have practiced them so well for millennia, we’d be drowning in excess oil at low prices.

But even that would do little to correct the problem the disparity between lower-priced premium gas and higher-priced “regular” gas pictured above. THAT disparity (as well as the supply problem driving much of the recent gar price increases) is pretty much solely the responsibility of enviroweenies, politicians who listen to enviroweenies (and their Mass Media Podpeople flacks) and all their ilk who have been primarily instrumental in preventing the construction of new refinery facilities for the past 30+ years…

Blame it on the greens (who, if cosmic justice were as swift as it is sure, wouldn’t be green but red and black and blue all over… I can wait. The universe’s Creator will teach them a few lessons, eventually, as He lets them inhabit a hell of their own making.)

So, this weekend features, Mothers Day, my son’s college graduation and BLOGmothers Day (and you thought I’d forgotten!). While I’m busy with the graduation shindig, Mothers Day (and because of bubba’s graduation, my own mother will be here this weekend–and since she’s a tad on the frail side and in her eighties, now, this is a rare treat) AND honoring at least one blogmother (*s*), feel free to populate my weekend reading list (for when I can steal time away from the festivities) with your posts tracked back to this one all weekend long.
