Chili Verde Crock Pot Recipe – SCRUMPTOUS!

Never had I used a tomatillo before making this dish (ok… I didn’t actually know what one was). I am now a fan. This “chili” uses 1 inch cubed lean pork loin, fresh cilantro, cumin and is amazing.
Ingredients: (I made enough of this to completely fill my crockpot. I freeze leftovers, and I knew I would love this dish. You can halve this recipe and still serve a family 6 easily).

1.5 lbs lean boneless lean pork, cut into 1 inch cubes
30 oz Great Northern Beans, rinsed and drained
30 oz Chicken broth
2 lbs fresh tomatillos, husks removed, chopped coarsely
2 medium onions, halved and thinly sliced
7 oz can diced green chiles
10 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp ground cumin
1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
salt and pepper to taste

instructions:
In large, heated frying pan, place cubed pork, leaving until browned on all sides.
Combine remaining ingredients (except for cilantro) in crock pot and add browned pork to this. Cook on High in crock pot for 3-4 hours. Stir in fresh cilantro and enjoy! We added shredded cheddar and tortilla chips. Oh happiness!!

Indescribable Love…

This time of year forces into the forefront of my mind what should be there always. He made us to bring Himself glory. That is why we exist. The rest of it is just details. If you haven’t seen this, treat yourself. He is so very BIG.

Tough Questions…

Some things to ponder, but first, some spirit Sunday wisdom: Obey God and leave the consequences to Him. It may not be easy, but it is the best life, and works every time. Ok, now…

Question 1:
If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who
were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she had
syphilis, would you recommend that she have an abortion?

Read the next question before looking at the response for this one.

Question 2:

It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote counts.
Here are the facts about the three candidates. Who would you vote for?

Candidate A.

Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologist.
He’s had two mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.

Candidate B.

He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon , used opium in
college and drinks a quart of whiskey every evening.

Candidate C

He is a decorated war hero. He’s a vegetarian, doesn’t smoke, drinks an
occasional beer and never cheated on his wife.

Which of these candidates would be our choice?

Decide first… no peeking, then scroll down for the response.

Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Candidate B is Winston Churchill.
Candidate C is Adolph Hitler.

And, by the way, on your answer to the abortion question:

If you said YES, you just killed Beethoven.

Pretty interesting isn’t it? Makes a person think before judging someone.

Remember:

Amateurs…built the ark.
Professionals…built the Titanic
