Used some green enchilada, some roasted tomato enchilada, and green tomatillo sauces (one jar of each) - also added chile powder and ground cumin....will taste for spices and heat when it is done - my wife is lobbying for a can of tomatoes as well.

As I just got home from running errands. My daughter needed a costume for a school wax museum. Her character is Rosa Parks so it was a bit challenging. .

So will probably feed her the left over shrimp and pasta and have some sort of a salad for myself.

I started the squash Sunday night by roasting two of them, side down with two whole garlics and olive oil. Mashed it up and added it to the base tonight.

I'm getting it down, 2nd time around. Had it with Potato Rosemary Bread from the Giant Eagle's bakery.

I really have to spend more time in Cooking & Baking… It's been a while since getting cozy here.

Recipes are a process. It sounds like that is what you are going through.

I remember when RG developed a bread pudding recipe. It was divine. We had a new bread pudding every other night.

When you perfect your masterpiece, let us know!

Hey, what's not to like?

I plan to do more quality things, and cooking and baking is one the process list.

It Birria is a method of cooking meat and chivo is goat. It comes in a rich broth. You roll it into a tortilla with salsa, onion, grilled green onions and sprinkle with some lime and then savor every bite.

Goat has a wonderful taste. Most like beef but with a little lamb flavor to it. Not at all gamey and extremely tender.

Wow! Washed them down with some ice cold Pacifico and I was in heaven.

Talks about that kind of food. Compares it to American; no contest. Such good, delicious food with none of our preservatives. So inexpensive, cost per serving. If I can think of the name, I will post it later. I would love it if you could read the passage that sounds so much like what you had.

Chicken soup with cornbread is what I made tonight.

I had the urge to make the soup because it was a bit cold out, what with the wind and all. Chicken soup: chicken thighs, celery, carrots, leeks, homemade chicken broth. Then I cooked some orzo and--this is the trick--when it was done, I stirred in olive oil, fresh chopped oregano, and pepper. Then I added it to the soup. What a tasty soup!

A little Cointreau and a dark chocolate biscuit will top off the evening.

Nevertheless, I will think about what it was like for us one year ago during Sandy. I would have just gotten my electricity back. Having gone through that makes me understand even more what it must be like for our fellow citizens in Illinois and for those in the Philippines. I think of them all day and night long.

Love chicken soup and yours sounds great. The chicken here really tastes like chicken. So does the beef.

Would love to read the article. I am totally into the food here.

I was in New Orleans during Katrina, so I totally understand the simpatico you feel with others. It's so hard sometimes, I can't even look at it.

with two sides, one was sweet baby peas with pancetta and shallots.

Then I made dry roasted fingerling potatoes baked with loads of Bay leaves for aromatics, (removed before serving). Next I then sauteed the roasted potatoes in a few nibs of pancetta to crisp up the skins a tad...seasoned with sea salt and fresh ground pepper.
