I wondered if you thought using veggie broth (homemade) instead of beef broth would make a huge difference - would that just be a major mistake? Should I go ahead and just make the beef broth and hold off on the carnitas for a few days while I make the broth??Elizabeth Taylorhttp://www.thefamilyfuntour.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-31408815764412589792016-05-11T05:44:42.550-07:002016-05-11T05:44:42.550-07:00Just made this again last night after forgetting a...Just made this again last night after forgetting about it for a while.

Unfortunately, while this meat was tender I found that it lacked flavor. When I reheated it a day later I simmered it with some salsa verde to bring it to life, but I would file this one under flop.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11599832147207157213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-7431607438118848002015-01-25T17:26:23.205-08:002015-01-25T17:26:23.205-08:00I love this site.

The allergist told my MIL not to give him ANY milk or milk products for 2 whole years. She was devout, not even crackers that contained whey would pass through his lips. After 2 years, they slowly introduced milk into his diet, and now he's totally fine. I'm glad that you can have pork now.
