A Saturday down in the Strip

 We went back to the Strip on a Saturday (open air market day) to get stuff to make carnitas. The only good Mexican food in Pittsburgh, there is a taco stand that has excellent tacos and agua frescas (this one is watermelon).

 Cheese in Pennsylvania Macaroni Company (the big Italian food store in the Strip),

 

olives,

 a million olive oils and vinegars,

 

breads,

 and cookies & pastries.

The Freds went in the Mexican store to get me tortillas, white cheese and a baby sombrero!

We got the stuff to make carnitas seasoned with onion, oranges, bay and cinnamon. You cook pork butt (shoulder) for 4 hours on low heat (basically it's BBQ.). And you get this:

Top it with salsa verde. It was very good and easy, next time I would put less cinnamon than it calls for. Recipe:
