Week 3: Denver at Detroit

After driving home from Ohio, I almost didn't make anything this week. I was tired. I didn't want go to the store. And we were going to the Groos'  Football & Turkeys party, so I didn't think I had time.

But then I figured, "Fuck it. I gotta bring something to share anyway, right?" So I made Mini Colorado Green Chili Coney Dogs during the early game.

This was no easy feat. First, green chili isn't difficult to make, but you know it's better if it sits for  bit. Plus, most of the recipes I know put a whole pork shoulder in the slow cooker for, like, a day.  And I was tired after partying at Ruth's wedding (Yay, Ruth!) and the 5-hour drive that morning.

What I'm saying is I took some short cuts. Necessary short cuts, but still. For example, I kind of used this recipe from Food. com. But there's no way I was going to be able get 2 pounds of pork roast done before 3 o'clock, so I got pork chops instead. Brilliant, right? Except I forgot the tomatillos. So I ran back to the store, and with time ticking away, I just got some tomatillo salsa and called it a day.

The dogs were just Li'l Smokies, and I was too lazy to even grate the cheese or cut up extra onions. I couldn't even find mini hot dog buns, so really very little of this was right.

But it was still very tasty!

While it was a pain in the ass to assemble, overall I have to say this was v.g., too. Thanks to Ray and Sue for the idea.
