FRIDAY NIGHT

WELP HERE WE GO ANOTHER WEEKEND HERE. THE KIDS ARE COMING OVER TOMORROW.
THEY CALL US THE GRANDS WE CALL THEM THE KIDS.
I JUST MADE SOME SUPER HOT SALSA MY HANDS ARE BURNING FROM THE CHILIES.

I ALSO FOUND SOME BLUE CORNMEAL TORTILLAS FROM SANTA FE AND I GOT SOME CUBED BEEF TO MAKE THE SAUCE FOR ENCHILADAS, BUT I HATE TO COOK THEM UP WHEN THE KIDS ARE ON A DIET AND HAVE THEM NOT ABLE TO KEEP FROM EATING THEM CUZ THEY ARE TOO GOOD. ALTHO I MAKE THEM WITH OLIVE OIL AND FRY UP THE CUBED STEAK AND MAKE THE SAUCE WITH WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR AND NEW MEXICO CHILI RED KIND WITH ONIONS AND CHEESES AND BAKEM. THE ONLY REAL CARB IN IT IS THE FLOUR BUT ITS NOT ALL THAT MUCH. THESE WITH REFRIED BEANS AND TORTILLAS OF WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR ARE SO SUPER GOOD AND A FRESH GREEN SALAD WITH AVOCADOS ONIONS AND LETTUCE SLIGHTLY VINEGAR ED FOR ME AND WHATEVER YOUR SALAD NEEDS FOR YOU. I ALWAYS SQUEEZE LEMON AND LIME ON ALL VEGGIES AND FRUITS KEEPS EM CRISP AND COLORFUL. GOT STRAWBERRIES AND BLUEBERRIES AND CARROTS AND PEAS AND BROCCOLI AND CELERY. WITH RANCH DIP FOR THE DIETERS.

I JUST LOVE TO COOK.
LAST WEEK I MADE A SOUFFLE AND IT WAS OUTTA SIGHT. I USED ANCHO CHILI S STUFFED WITH SHARP WHITE CHEDDAR CHEESE AND EGGS AND CHEESE MANY EGGS ALL WHIPPED INTO A FROTH AND DELICIOUS WITH HERBS AND SALT AND PEPPER.
I MUST SAY I'M GETTING THE HANG OF SOUFFLE COOKING.

PUFFY FLUFFY DELISHUS. YUM. WITH TURKEY SAUSAGE ASIDE AND HEALTH NUT BREAD TOAST. JUICE AND COFFEE WHAT A BREAKFAST!!

ITS TIME FOR ME TO MAKE MY FAMOUS SPANISH RICE THE REAL SPANISH RICE THAT ISN'T SERVED BY MEXICAN RESTAURANTS. THEY SERVE A MEXICAN VERSION WHICH IS SO DRY AND TASTELESS. MINE IS FLAVORFUL AND SPICY. WITH TOMATOES YUM. SWEET BELL PEPPERS ONIONS GARLIC AND SALT AND HERBS AND RED NM CHILI. WHAT A TREAT. I THIN WE MAKE IT LIKE THIS IN SANTA FE BECAUSE TH ATS HOW THE SPANISH PEOPLE IT FROM SPAIN. SERVED WITH FISH THE SPANIARDS IN SPAIN USED A LOT OF FISH NEW MEXICO SPANIARDS USED A LOT OF BEEF BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE ALL THAT ,MANY FISH AROUND THERE. AND ALL HAD HERDS OF COWS AND SHEEP THAT WAS THE STAPLE I NEVER HAD SHEEP MEAT BECAUSE MY FAMILY DIDN'T SERVE IT. WE HAD OCCASIONAL CHICKEN MOSTLY BEANS TORTILLAS AND CHILI WITH BEEF STEAK CARNE ASADA THE STEAK IS ACTUALLY PLACED IN THE OVEN TO BAKE AND LATER CUT UP AND SERVED ITS VERY LOW IN FATS.
WE USED IT FOR TACOS AS WELL. I LOVED MY CULTURE IT WAS DELICIOUS. FRESH SALADS A VEGGIES BEEF CHILI BEANS TORTILLAS ALWAYS MANY VEGGIES. I LOVED FRIED CALABASITAS (SQUASH)WITH ONIONS AND CHILI PODS.

IF I EVER HAD A RESTAURANT ID SERVE AUTHENTIC NEW MEXICO FOODS. MEXICAN FOODS ARE A BIT LIKE IT BUT LACK A LOT OF THE SPICINESS. AND HERBS.

THEY ARE SO STINGY WITH SAUCES NM IS VERY GENEROUS WITH THEM.

I HAD A LAPSE OF MY NEW MEXICO DAYS HOPE Y'ALL AREN'T BORED.
