My lunch, Enchiladas de Chili Poblano, on Friday, May 6, in
the celebratory aftermath of Cinco de Mayo. Of the dozen enchiladas
displayed in the pan above, I (quite remarkably) ate 8 of them that meal,
which is exactly the number on the plate. My sister-in-law Angie Molina
not only made this feast, she went through the recipe step-by-step for me,

That looks sooooooooooo yummy..... recipe please. Donna
ReplyDeleteIt WAS "yummy," Donna! (Not that I still use that word to describe outstanding culinary experiences anymore, having stopped doing so back in '55 or '56).

But since Angie doesn't have a computer and is unlikely to ever get online and view this site, you are in luck. As soon as I transcribe it, I'll post it right here for one and all....
ReplyDeleteDROOL!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you will post the recipe as I too think it looks YUMMY. DROOL.
ReplyDeleteThis is the twenty first century, and in it even men are allowed to say yummy. It's expected, even.
Well, I guess it WAS yummy, so why not? (ESPECIALLY if it's expected, even.) Thanks for setting me straight AD. Recipe to come later this week!
