hmm Dessert

Date & Time: October 22, 2009 6:30pm

Main Course: Carolyn cooked up some whole chicken breasts and shredded them and attempted to make enchiladas. The attempt failed though. The corn tortillas were crumbly and crumbled when she tried to roll them up. So we ended up with an enchilada lasagna. Which was very tasty and all but Noah enjoyed. Noah had a whole chicken breast which he ate about half of...

Sides: Black beans; Velveeta and tomatoes; homemade pickled jalapeños; chips; sour cream; salsa verde from a jar..

Beverage / Libation: Box of Target Chardonnay, mostly drank, it's only 4 bottles.

Desert: Sue brought over a delicious bakery cake, she knows the baker and get the cakes that weren't picked up. I also made a fresh apple crisp which was still warm.

Guests: Tom & Sue; and Liz.

Misc.: Delia no longer sits at the high chair so the dinner table is getting crowded which is wonderful..

Cheers,

A Feast

Date & Time: October 8, 2009 6:30pm

Main Course: Once again we cooked more food then we needed… There was chicken cooked in the crock pot shredded. Additionally for the boys there was ground beef with taco seasoning. It was all served in sopes instead of tortillas although there ware flour tortillas and crispy taco shells available as well. The sopes are little boat that you pill the ingredients into. We bought the sopes premade and then deep fried them for tasty goodness in canola oil.

Sides: Pinto beans refried in bacon with garlic; homemade grilled corn salsa; homemade jalapeños hot sauce; chips; lettuce; Mexican crumbly shredded cheese; taco sauce.

Beverage / Libation: Bottle of wine and a box of Target sangria…

Desert: I forget

Guests: Tom & Sue; and Liz.

Misc.: Nothing to report.

Sopes

Date & Time: October 8, 2009 6:30pm
Main Course: Chicken, I think you can call it stewed; it was cooked in the crock pot with some tasty herbs. We also foudn that the local grocery store sells a package of sopes. Sopes are basiclly little round corn meal boats, you fry them in oil, I used canola, and then fill them up. I layered beans then chicken then cheese and then some hot sauce on top.
Sides: Sour cream; potatoes and chorizo sausage; Guacamole home made; homemade jalapeños hot sauce; chips; and authentic Mexican shredded cheese (the bag said Mexican shredded cheese).
Beverage / Libation: Wine of some sort...
Desert: None. I meant to make an apple pie since we went apple picking and have 70 pounds of apples laying around but I didn't have time...
Guests: Tom & Sue and Aunt Lizard.
Misc.: The kids got to bed a a relatively reasonable time so there must not have been much horse play after dinner...

Main Course: Chicken. We had chicken and lots of vegetables. We grilled up three bell peppers of various colors, two ancho pepers big barely spicy pepers, one giant onion, and and bunch small of chicken breast. It rained on me while grilling.
