Last weekend was the 7th annual Mexican party hosted by Amy and Cheryl. Mandi and I were lucky enough to go last year, and this year TFIMB was the corporate sponsor (without actually giving any money). A great time was had by all and I took some pictures of the festivities. There will be no recipes today except for one vague one for the pork that everyone requested.
Dan: hey you think i could get the pork recipe for the post today? im not going to put up any recipes except that one cause it was such a big hit.
Amy: There wasn't a recipe actually. I put a Mexican dry rub on it that I bought at Target (Archer Farms). In the bottom of the pots, I put a mixture of orange juice, lime juice, garlic and oregano. Roasted at 425 for about a half hour to brown a bit, then took it down to 300 for about 5 hours. Each Boston Butt was about 5-6 lbs. Oh my god, I'm hungry!
This is some beef chuck boiling away

A different angle. I could never imagine feeding this many people!! Yet.
Cheryl made tortillas all week. Over 200!!
The pork all shredded.
Im not sure if these 2 were fussing with the trays a ton, or if I was just drunkenly taking too many pictures, but this made me laugh.
The sun goes down and it is time to eat.
Oh my.
I was first to eat and was finished in time to get a few shots of the assembly line.
CLEANING IS FUN!!!!!
