I saw this recipe for carnitas on one of my favorite food blogs, Smitten Kitchen. I knew right away it was the perfect Sunday supper- the cook time alone takes 3 hours. Like Smitten Kitchen lady says, the pork just takes a bath for three hours- she says it's a bath in a margarita because of the lime and salt. I say it's a bath in sunshine because of all that citrus-y vitamin D (in just a week and a half I'll be in sunny south Florida for Thanksgiving and I too will be taking a bath in vitamin D).
The soundtrack for the day was this, then this- I know I'm a little late to the party with Lana del Rey but I cannot get "Video Games" out of my head. Having it on a constant loop makes even standing in the Whole Foods deli section seem like a transcendent, melancholy experience. After all that lady music I needed a palate cleanser so I listened to my favorite Rolling Stones album.
You can pair these with whatever toppings you'd like- I chose avocado, pinto beans, and smoked jalapeno peppers. Happy Sunday!
