I think these recipes are from some low-fat magazine. I'm totally getting sued if anyone publishes this book. I haven't a
clue where some of these recipes came from. I'm not even sure I can tell the difference between the ones I made up and the
ones I didn't. I'm not going to fret about it. I wonder if a disclaimer stating that I stole all these recipes but I'm not sure from where would cover it? The copyright information for recipes seems so open to interpretation.

Anyhow, tonight I made Apple Adobo Pork with Cumin Apple
Couscous. The flavor of apple did not shine through here at all like I thought it would. I'm starting to hate any
recipe that involves chipotle peppers because they're really spicy and there are so many in those little cans and there's
only so many chipotle recipes I can make in a week. What am I supposed to do with all the leftover peppers? The sauce was
really spicy, which I like with pork, but I found that the couscous was quite bland. Needs a lot more seasoning to give it
some oomph.

I had an opened can of navy beans in the fridge I didn't want to go to waste, so I quickly mixed them in a saucepan to make
Sweet Allspice Beans. This actually helped to bring out some of the flavors in the pork and
couscous, so I'm glad I did. They were pretty sweet, but it made up for what the apple lacked and complimented the flavor
with the allspice like a cinnamon-apple dessert. I was going to make naan to go along with this, but for some reason I
couldn't get the yeast to proof. I tried twice and I guess I've killed it. I think I'm adding a pork and beans cookbook to my list of things to accomplish next year. Surely I've got a good start just from the recipes on this site. There are enough cuts of pork and enough types of beans to make it a worthwhile venture.
