Breakfast Frittata.


I thought I had posted this before, but it seems I missed it.


This is one of the first uses my skillet got back when I bought it. I used three color peppers, onions, sliced red potatoes, and shredded Parmesan for this. Served with baguette, kiwi, bacon. I nixed the salt and pepper thinking the bacon would suffice and to accommodate, respectively. A lot of cholesterol, but still pretty damn good.

Arroz con Pollo.


This was absolutely devastating. Hybrid sauces.


This is probably one of the best things I've had in awhile. With some self-control, it should last me.

Those are corn tortillas, by the way. I go back and forth on whether I like corn or flour better. But corn is definitely the way to go on this one.

Momokawa.


It's not very good.

Enchiladas, round 2.


If it looks disgusting, it probably tastes delicious. I have yet to try a Garbage Plate, a local specialty.

Minor alterations from last time but way better. I laid down a layer of enchilada sauce (El Pato) before putting anything in the pan. Same procedure as last time, but used taco beef for half, carnitas for the other half. Threw in a spot for refried beans.


It turned out marvelously. So one way of preparing enchiladas is to pan-heat and dip each tortilla in the sauce beforehand. This gives a pretty close effect, I think. I also sprinkled just the right amount of cheese inside of each enchilada. Other than that, nothing out of the ordinary.



They also make fanastic leftovers.

Full Moon.


A seasonal brew from Blue Moon (Coors, lulz). Not bad. But not that impressive either.

Actually. It tasted worse than Blue Moon.

CHILI.



Here's the sauce. I followed it but without the flour (used ground beef instead), fennel, cayenne (couldn't find them), and green pepper (didn't want to spend the money). I also wasn't paying attention to my measuring spoons and measure out everything relative to a 2 tbsp scoop, thinking it was a 1 tbsp scoop. So all the spices are right in proportion to each other, but it's actually double what the recipe called for. Still turned out delicious.


The picture is before I dressed it up. I was hungry. Typical additions: cheese, sour cream, Frank's, cornbread. I could eat this all night.

Chicken Pot Pie. Sort of.


Um. Iw as trying this recipe and did all sorts of weird stuff. Long story short, it turned out pretty runny and tasteless. Probably will not try it again for a long time. The biscuits, on the other hand, were awesome.



What? I like pepper.
