That's not how traditional carnitas works. Cube the pork. Coat in salt and lime juice. Drop into a pot full of lard, with the pork fully submerged.  Simmer for several hours with a lid on the pot, at the lowest heat possible.  Do this until the pork is very tender.  Turn up to high heat at the end, to brown. This may take a while. Drain, let the pork cool a bit on a plate, then shred. A goat head in a pot of lard cooked in a pit full of cooling coals is even more traditional, but I don't have the infrastructure. 

Yeah, I guess I was thinking more along the lines of carnitas fajitas, which is more my thing.  I definitely need to shy away from "...pot full of lard..." (for health reasons -- i recently got a blood test followup, and the doctor told me that whatever I was doing, keep on doing it, I was definitely headed in the right direction).

Also:  urleagh! @ "goat head".

Working sous vide kinks out.  Eggs this morning, much runnier than I'm used to.  I liked 'em, but not enough time or temp on the whites for my taste (45 min at 145 F).  Tried to make up some chicken thighs for lunch, but I suspect they were not good quality to begin with.  Cooked to doneness, but they did not look or taste like I wanted.  I fed them to stray cats (after verifying that their internal temp. was safe to eat.)

Chicken breasts for dinner, with some cracked pepper, saffron, and lemon.  Making them up into a chicken salad.  Results forthcoming.

Last night Anne and I had dinner at Grace Reataurant for my one year belated 50th birthday dinner.

My first Michelin 3 star. It was just great. Food was delicious and adventurous and the wine pairing was incredible.

Sorry for the lighting, they requested no flash. And for eating the chocolate before the pic.
