Movie night munchie a dove dark chocolate bar

frozen beef tamales and make some Zatarain's Spanish rice for B.

Homemade, of course.

Must have at least 20 ingredients. And I threw in a small, hard piece of Parm for extra flavor.

Much time and dedication necessary, but the payoff is worth it.

I cooked the pork shoulder and BBQ sauce yesterday, and I'm going to make the slaw right now.

Used the pea pods to make a stock (at the price of fresh peas I'm not going to throw them out unused!), it's currently cooking slowly. Also threw in the 3 green beans that for some reason ended up in the bag with the green onions.
