Raiders on BluRay

I see they're about to release a boxed set of all the Indiana Jones movies on BluRay for nearly $70. I wonder if they'll ever release the original movies on BluRay individually? I only want Raiders and Last Crusade. I can't do the bugs in Temple of Doom, and I really disliked the fourth skull one. They probably will eventually, but not till they've milked all they can from the box set.

In other news, I really want the new larger Kindle Fire! Not sure if the 4G one is worth it though. Haven't crunched numbers to see if what they charge for access is reasonable or not. We do have wireless at work now, but it's still filtered through the same net nanny software, so I wouldn't be able to use the tablet there really.

And in other other news, I think I have another stupid cold.

Navajo Tacos

valiha asked for my Navajo Taco recipe, so here goes!

First off, the meat topping/filling. I've used ground beef, turkey, and this time, pork. You could also just use beans.

1 pound ground meat
Tin of pinto beans undrained (I have also started with dried beans cooked into pot beans to use on occasion.)
Small onion chopped
2 cloves garlic chopped fine
Some sort of pepper chopped fine (this is optional, it and the garlic my own additions to the recipe. I used a dried guajillo chili this time. Soaked it on hot water to soften, removed seeds, chopped super fine.)
Salt, pepper, spices (I use Mexican Oregano, Cumin, Chipotle powder, chile powder)

Brown the onion in cooking oil till brown, add the garlic, cook a little more, add the meat to brown, put in your spices, salt and pepper. Add the beans with the liquid, your chopped chili if you're using one. Simmer till beans are soft, and tinker with it till you like the flavour.

The Fry Bread: here's a link with a bunch of recipes. I like the 'old fashioned' one best, but have also used one with yeast. The Navajo lady I got my recipe from suggests using lard to cook the fry bread for best results. This last time I used half lard, half canola oil in a large cast iron frying pan.

Toppings: shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, diced tomatoes, and anything else you think would be good. I also used my green chili relish and chipotle aioli this time.

Take the warm meat and bean mixture and put it on top of the fry bread, add desired toppings, eat. You can either eat it flat, or fold it over like a taco.
