    Did almost the same thing with root beer (vs coke) and some maple syrup (vs brown sugar) yesterday!. Was lovely!

    Use a spice cake or yellow cake mix. Where it calls for water, use orange soda instead. Easy & tasty.

    I use a crock pot for ribs. Slather with your choice of rub or BBQ sauce, cook until the ribs start to show (3-4 hours), take out, slather with the juices and finish on a grill to crisp up and caramelize the sauce.

    Prefer NC style BBQ to the tomato/sugar type for pulled pork. Heaven. (Possibly an acquired taste, but well worth acquiring ;^)
    No chiles for me, thanks. I'd rather taste the beer than just feel it.

    Reminds me of when I first moved to Mexico. The Director of JD Mexico took us out to dinner and asked if we liked Mexican food. I said that I liked hot foods, so he ordered up some piquin peppers. Thought that he was going to "smoke me out." I garnered quite a bit of respect when I kept popping them in my mouth as fast as did he.

    Oh, yeah, me too. Here's another appetizer for the pork: Jalepenos Locos

    Wash several medium to large jalepenos
    Slice down across the top about 1/4 inch from the stem - about 3/4 of the way down.
    Then slice from that top slice down to the point on one side.
    Clean out the seeds (unless you're really a glutton for punishment).
    Prop open the sides and stuff with Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack cheese.
    Bake in oven in ceramic dish at 400 Deg F for about 20 mins or until cheese gets golden brown. (you might do a couple minutes less and then use the broil setting on an electric oven to brown the cheese). The browned (caramelized) cheese is the key.
    Allow to set for a few minutes after removing from the oven unless you really like burning the roof of your mouth (which I must like as I cannot wait to eat these scrumptious yummies).

    Might want to add jalapeño instead of green pepper for a little extra kick (I grow them in my back yard so I put them in everything).

    Oh, btw - do you braise the shoulder first or put it in raw? I usually like to braise beef brisket.

    Sounds awesome except for the onions. And I prefer flour tortillas, but to each his own.

    And yes, 4 cloves of garlic!

    I like them all. Do you have cucumbers growing in a garden? If so, watch them grow, and you will learn an important lesson about what is necessary for nerves to grow.

    That sounds like it would go well with a big bowl of guacamole.
