Posole

Eastside Road, January 9, 2011—

DOWN THE HILL TODAY for a family day: Sunday midday dinner, a two-mile walk at the pond, cheese and salad afterward.

T. made posole. She boiled up pork shoulder and pig's feet, shredded the meat off the bones, and cooked it with the hominy. There were bowls of chili powder, quartered limes, oregano, chopped cilantro, onions, and Savoy cabbage to strew over the posole, as we liked, and steaming hot tortillas.

After the salad aand cheese, the Christmas cookies — spritz, cloud, pfeffernüsse; chocolate truffles; Eve's salt caramels; pan pepato.
