I'm in the kitchen making a huge batch of carnitas for our friends super bowl party tomorrow. I'm changing my recipe a bit. I found a coffee porter with Mexican chocolate from a brewery in San Diego called Tusk & Grain. I'm also adding some Mexican Coca Cola to add a hint of sweet and enhance the caramelization. Photos tomorrow of the finished product. Time to get cooking...
 
Happy belated birthday Indiaink! I seem to always be behind these days. And I am tired of snow (I live in Vancouver for a reason)!

Quick question - does anyone have something in both Carmino and Eclipse and, if so, would you say they are too similar to have both? I have seen a few comparison pictures and descriptions here which suggest that Carmino is more of a true red and Eclipse is much darker, almost burgundy - but I am not convinced one way or the other yet and was just hoping to get more feedback. Thanks!

I have Carmino and i agree on true red definition, very deep, saturated and rich red, on the darker side of reds i'd say, with no orange hue.
Sorry, cannot do a side by side with Eclipse as i don't own any, but i can take a few snaps in different light if you need :smile:

Thanks ksuromax. I already do have Carmino and am now considering Eclipse - and trying to figure out if they are going to be too close to justify both... such a first world problem!
