Clears that up. Holding has many uses besides being used as a family
name. Many family names come from the occupation/trade of and
ancestor. Like Smith often had had a blacksmith as head of the family.
Or Baker might refer to a pie/cookie/cake maker. I wonder if the early
Holding was a banker. Bv)=

I know about big trucks and tight turns. Learned the hard way. I once
was delivering a semi-trailer load of bottles to Anheuser-Bush`s home
plant in St. Louis and due to directions given by soeone who had never
drive a semi on tight streets got in a mess making a turn. Someone had
left a VW Beetle parked too close to the corner (illegally) and even
though I ran up over the opposite curb the trailer tandems ran over the
back of the poor Beetle - which did not do it a lot of good.
I called the nabs and the officers told me I was not in any trouble as
the car was parked illegally and to go on and make my delivery. They also
gave me a better st of directions for next time and said they would deal
with the car`s owner. Bv)=

I know the words to that song as well. My housemate refuses to back into
the driveway so he can pull out onto the busy street like a normal deal.
It sometimes takes him 10 minutes (or more) to get out of the drive.
If there is enough traffic that I must "head-in" to the drive I will
back into the yard and get a reorientation done so my car is pointed
toward the street. Makes life a whole lot easier. Especially when I
have a load of groceries in the trunk. My way puts the freight a lot
closer to the door.

Never been a fan of bean burritos. In my world they require some meat,
be it pork, beef, goat or whatever.

Title: Carnitas Burrito
Categories: Pork, Vegetables, Chiles, Herbs, Beans
Yield: 6 burritos
MMMMM-------------------------CARNITAS-------------------------------
2 ts Kosher salt; divided
2 ts Dried oregano
3 ts Cumin
1 ts (ea) smoked paprika, garlic
- powder, onion powder, and
- chilli spice mix
1/2 ts Black pepper
3 lb Boneless pork shoulder; in 3
- inch pieces
2 tb Olive or avocado oil
6 cl Garlic; rough chopped
1 md White onion; in large chunks
2 Bay leaves
1/3 c Fresh orange juice from 1 lg
- orange
1/3 c Fresh lime juice from 2
- limes
1 c Chicken broth
MMMMM-------------------------BURRITOS-------------------------------
6 10" flour tortillas
1 1/2 c Cooked Cilantro-lime rice or
- plain long-grain rice
15 oz Can black beans; drained, rinsed
1 c Pico de gallo
Shredded cheese or cashew queso
Jalapeno ranch dressing
+=OR=+
Sour cream
Guacamole and sliced avocado
Mix all of the spices in a small bowl. Rub the mixture
into all sides of each piece of pork, using your
fingertips to rub it in until the outside turns a red
hue from the paprika and chili powder.
Drizzle the olive oil into the bottom of the Instant Pot
and turn it to the saute function until it`s hot and
shimmering. Working in batches, sear 4-5 pieces of pork
shoulder for 2-3 minutes on each side, until crispy and
brown. Transfer the seared pork to a cutting board.
Pour in a bit more oil in the bottom of the pot and add
the onion and cook to soften for 2-3 minutes, until
translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another 1-2
minutes, until fragrant.
Pour in the lime juice, orange juice, broth, and bay
leaves. Stir it togetheere, scraping any brown bits from
the bottom of the pan. Cancel the saute setting and
close the lid and turn the pressure valve to the sealing
position.
Cook on high pressure for 55 minutes. It will take about
10 minutes for Instant Pot to come to pressure before it
counts down. When the timer goes off, naturally release
the Instant Pot (do nothing) for 10 minutes then turn
the pressure release valve to quick release (release the
remaining pressure).
Heat the oven to broil. Use a slotted spoon to remove
the cooked pork pieces from the Instant Pot onto a sheet
pan. Shred the pork with two forks. It should fall apart
easily.
Spread it out evenly onto the sheet pan and broil it in
the oven for 3-5 minutes, turning the pan once or twice
to crisp it evenly. Serve warm in tortillas, a burrito,
or in a burrito bowl.
When you`re ready to serve, warm the burrito shells by
heating over an open gas stove flame for 30 seconds on
each side. You can also put them in the microwave for 30
seconds or use a large cast-iron skillet to heat on both
sides for 20-30 seconds each.
Place about 1/4 cup of rice in the middle of the
tortilla then top with black beans and crispy carnitas.
Finish with your favorite toppings.
To roll the burrito, fold half of the burrito over the
toppings and tuck it under, securing the toppings
against the shell. Fold in both sides then finish
rolling into a burrito. Serve whole or slice in half.
