hello, am new at this sort of communication. I am a long time run of the
mill chef. Most time spent in Atlanta w/ one restaurant company, many
will be able to guess which. Have been married to a woman from mexico
for 10 years and have never learned to prepare the dry marinades for so
many of the meats we eat on a regular basis. carne enchilada, carne al
pastor, etc. We have always counted on carnacerias(poor spelling)for
our pork, but I cannot help but think I can do a much better job at home.
You might say,"why the heck don't you ask your mother in law". Good
question. It seems that the truly gifted people who produce the best marinated meats are usually men. Most of my exposure is food from the
the Alcapulco, St. Marcos, or Mexico City areas. It there is anyone who
could offer assistance, I would be grateful. If you must reply in Spanish
that is not a problem either. My backround is mostly in italian cuisine, but
I have a natural interest in southern food, since I come from the northeast
georgia mountains and Atlanta.
