Things in the kitchen

Friday, September 28, 2007

This post courtesy of my brain being currently unable to string words into interesting or useful sentences. The heat finally got to it.

Cookbooks.

Part of wedding registry. One person bought out the whole thing.

THE END

PS The side-to-side sweater is nearly completed, just had to get through the weather and a couple more inches of ribbing. Stay tuned! (GEEZ LOUISE was it hot. We spent the evenings grilling and over the dying coals we roasted marshmellows. Guess what though, I hate marshmellows! And yet I ate an entire bag! So gross! The heat made me do it. Also, the leaves are turning colors from being scorched. That's the last time I ask for an extended summer.)

Revisiting Santa Fe

This here blob is a chicken enchilada.

Chicken Enchilada with Green Chile Sauce

It's kind of light on the chicken part.

I followed the chicken enchilada recipe from EverydayFood, except instead of using the 2 jars of green salsa, I used 2 cups of diced New Mexican green chile.

It tastes like cheese-flavored fire.

I miss New Mexico.

Introducing Dottie to a Sunday night ritual

Monday, January 22, 2007

American football, that is. Even though it actually involves more hands than feet.

First, grab yourself an ice-cold Bud and find a comfortable place in front of the television.

Then, help yourself to a plate of Buffalo chicken wings. Celery and blue cheese dressing on the side are mandatory.

Best buffalo wings

Still hungry? How about some savory Green Chile Stew?

And for dessert...

Dottie gets an eyefull of T0m Brady,
America's version of David B3ckham.

The bad news: he lost the game.
The good news: he's newly SINGLE.

Dottie's verdict:

"Mmm...American football...Gooood..."

Too bad you'll have to wait til next year to see more!

PS I actually hate watching football during the regular season. Couldn't care less. Also, that green chile stew I made was REALLY REALLY GOOD. Get the recipe here.
