If I told you we drink about a gallon of milk a week that would be no suprise. If I told you at LEAST half was chocolate milk would you judge... I could blame Tony but truthfully I could match him glass for chocolaty glass. So today I made my own chocolate syrup. So easy and I already had everything I needed, it is simply sugar, water, chocolate syrup, vanilla, salt and corn syrup. Boil and cool. (Thanks Alton) No HFC,no gums, and no artificial flavor. In fact, I just sent Jon to the store for some ice cream cause I sort of felt guilty eating it straight from the pan, but only because it all would not fit into the bottle.
As far as dinner, I have relied on comfort food lately, tonight we had roasted chicken and potatoes with mustard greens. Yesterday I wanted barbacoa, but when I went to purchase the cheek meat it is so disgusting looking that I couldn't do it. I'll leave the traditonal barbacoa for eating out. So I made shredded beef tacos instead - white girl style. I took a chuck roast and basically made a pot roast with mexican seasoning -garlic, onion, comino, tomato. Then boiled down all the liquid, shredded the beef and combined it with the glaze. Served with fresh corn tortillas, onions and cilantro, and guac. They were great, and I think could easily be done in a crock pot for a week day meal. We like it so much that I'm thinking about doing it with the pork butt in the cooler for later this week.
