It's Cabrito Time!

It's cabrito time... goat is one of my husband's favorite meats. This one was very fresh. We know the man who raised it... and his are the best. The only places I have eaten cabrito are on the border with Mexico and in Mexico around Monterrey, Saltillo to be exact. We prepare ours by seasoning it with sea salt, fresh cracked pepper, a little meat tenderizer just to help it stay moist, and a little garlic powder. I baked it covered in a 325 degree oven for about 3 hours, cut it up and then put it on the grill to crispen it up and finish the cooking. It was so tender and moist. We like to eat it with guacamole, pico de gallo, fresh Mexican lime juice squeezed on top and then stuffed inside a hot corn tortilla. This is just the best meal... and served with a cold Tecate Light beer!!

The stairs: before and after

After...

Before...

Well, more progress today. Why I didn't figure out that the stairs needed to be "wooded" I will never know. But now they are! It certainly looks very "plain Jane" at the moment. I will have to figure out some sort of decor.  We'll see what happens... 

Almost there... the progress I've made

Well, this is what my living room/dining room looks like this evening. There is much still to be done but progress is being made. Later I will show other views of the room, but tonight... well, I am exhausted!

It's "Rednesday"!

Cherry - Cranberry Topsy Turvy Cobbler for "Rednesday"

Cherry - Cranberry Topsy Turvy Cobbler

1/2 c. butter

1 c. sugar

1 c. flour

3/4 c. milk

1 Tbsp. baking powder

Nuts, optional

1 can of fruit pie filling of choice

1/2 - 1 c. dried cranberries

Melt butter in large casserole dish in a 325 degree oven. Mix batter ingredients together and pour over melted butter. Mix pie filling and cranberries in a medium size bowl. Pour on top of batter. Sprinkle with a little more sugar and if you like, cinnamon and nuts. Bake for about 45 minutes. Serve with Blue Bell Vanilla Ice Cream.

This is one of my childhood recipes. By the time I was nine I could whip this up with ease. I always thought it was so "modern" until I found almost the same identical recipe in my husband's grandmother's recipe file. It's so good. The cranberries were my idea and I love the tartness it adds.

This was fun, Sue. Your It's a Very Cherry World  blog is great!! It was a challenge for me to look for red in my home, but then remembered I had just made this cobbler. Perfect timing!
