We are doing ropa vieja this weekend. Basically slow-cooked brisket with lots of good adds, shredded, in tortillas.
Time for a quick Spanish/cooking trivia break?

"Ropa Vieja" translates to "old clothes'. It has to do with the shredded meat looking like tattered or frayed fabric.

Good stuff, a margarita goes well with that?

I went to the store a while ago and looked at the "Tobacca Jack's" store sign.

I laughed.

The sign said, "SLUSHIES".

I lived in the high desert for a while and once BBQed a tri-tip in the snow.

The only reason I mentioned it that this was in Cali?
