Clay's 74th Birthday

 For my birthday, I made red chili pork tamales for the first time. 

The pulled pork I used was some I had smoked earlier this year.  The red chili sauce was made using 4 ancho chilis, 3 guajillo chilis and 1 arbol chili. It had only mild heat.

My cake was black, both the layers and the icing. I used black cocoa powder to get the color.

I am now 74 years old.
