Pibil

One of my favourite meals, definitely my favourite Mexican meal, slow roasted pork in an achiote and garlic marinade, baked in banana leaves.

After watching Newcastle getting beat 3-0 by Sunderland, at home no less, the rest of the day was a bit of a washout. There was housework and other mundanities.

Watched 'The Hobbit' in the evening, I found it far more enjoyable than most of' 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy but it deviated heavily from the book, not only in terms of a very small book being made into a 9 hour film and thus requiring much padding out but also the fundamental relationships of the characters seem to have been changed, for the worse in my opinion.
