Hey Val, just in case you're checking...

Love to prepare the lechón, but since there are no butcher shops here in So. TX, I have to get just a pork ham (pernil de cerdo).

My supermarket is having trouble getting what I want. So, if they can't get it for me, I'll go for the backup - a pork soulder. Much smaller, but it does the job nicely.

What's the best adobo you recommend, Val? Figures the one from Cuba is very similiar to the one for PR, but I would like to improve it. Do you recommend more sal or more pimienta? Would more ajos do the job better?
