A few days ago, I returned from a beautiful two weeks vacation.I kept in touch with a local female from where we went and I contacted her to give me some instructions for Pork Tacos recipe from her country and gave me this. I was in some exotic places where the sun shined till the early morning till the later night. I had a lot of local trips and a lot of fun visiting, eating and partying there. Returned home, on a morning I was thinking what should I prepare to surprise my soulmate and using something similar to what we’ve eaten in our vacation.
Considering our summer is a little breezy, I thought something spicy will warm our souls.She recommended a combination of spice pepper and pineapple. I was “Oh god! What are you giving me?” She encouraged me to do it, “it will warm your summer as you wished, she said. Ok! Let’s do it then.

Definitely will try again this masterpiece.
