The woman to whom I am related by marriage will be gone on her annual "sister trip" this weekend and my kitchen usually turns into an alcohol soaked laboratory so I'm looking for some new/good recipes to try. Normally, I'd be out bravely manning the smoker but its supposed to storm all day tomorrow so that's out. I'm really into quality Mexican food and really good pub grub so I'm thinking pork carnitas with a variation of the mango salsa that jikastew was kind enough to provide in my fish taco thread. Shrimp and grits sounds really tasty as well but I really want to try something I've not attempted before. I appreciate any and all ideas.
