I declared today Cuban day. I put some Cuban Shredded Beef in the crockpot this morning. Gonna make rice and beans to go with the beef. I have all the stuff to make mojitos to wash it all down. And, if everything goes as planned, I'll be enjoying a nice cigar afterward. Probably a cigar that fits this theme!

ETA: Here is the recipe I have for Cuban Shredded Beef

Cuban shredded beef

Ingredients

* 1 large green bell pepper, chopped
* 1 medium-sized yellow onion, chopped
* 2 garlic cloves, chopped
* 1 (2-1/2- to 3-pound) bottom round roast
* 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
* 2 teaspoons chili powder
* 2 teaspoons ground cumin
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. In a slow cooker (3-1/2 quarts or larger), combine bell pepper, onion, and garlic; place roast on top of vegetables.

2. In a small bowl, combine tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper; mix well and pour over roast. Cover and cook on high setting 7 to 8 hours, or until meat pulls apart with a fork.

3. Turn off slow cooker and shred beef by pulling it apart with 2 forks. Stir beef mixture and allow to sit 5 minutes.

Serving Tip

Serve with rice and beans or on a crusty roll.

My Cuban day was almost a bust. I got home from work and went to stir the crock pot when I realized it was still cold. Apparently the outlet I plugged in to is finicky and only works when you hold pressure on the plug. So we moved Cuban day to Saturday and it turned out great. I think we're going to use the leftovers to make tacos tonight.

Doing the Cuban Shredded Beef tonight. The smell is heavenly, to the point the wife and I have felt we have been tortured for the last 7 hours! It's that, red beans and rice, and I'll finish of the evening with an Arganese Maduro Chairman Torpedo.

I don't usually do anything fancy but tonight is the exception. I am making Chicken Lou, it is chicken breast marinated in cream of mushroom soup and lemon and mustard. I put some sage on it and cook the whole mess in the oven at 350 for about 45 minutes. I put it over some rice pilaf and serve. It will be delicious. If don't like chicken you can cook turkey instead, it will taste about the same.
