    I feel a bit like an intruder here as it's always seemed that this was AnnaN's territory along with her partner in crime Kerry.

    However.  Went to a new Mexican restaurant in Hamilton on Thursday where I had a favorite of mine, the veggie burrito.

    It was huge so I brought half home.  Heating it up today for lunch I found that adding a lot of chili crunch, pico pica sauce, and hot salsa made it a lot better.

    I do love lots of heat and spice.

    Now it feels like I need to make my own version.

    I forgot to add that there was two flights of stairs to get the the restaurant and no elevator.  (Only in MT)

    I will not go back.

     

    What are the veg components you would replicate. Beans I imagine plus? Pico Pica is a nice condiment - on my breakfast tortilla with egg every morning during my pregnancy years ago.!!!

  2. I'd planned roast broccoli salad but took a look yesterday and = not perky. It is quite cool, so soup. Onion, garlic, touch butter, water, chopped broccoli, chicken powder, black pepper, water. Simmered til quite tender, added hot mustard and handful frozen peas. Stick blendered to pretty smooth. Stirred in big dollop of yogurt. Satisying and nice to have when you just want something tasty and warming. Image is what remains to be eaten as desired. Dashes of hot sauce at service.

  3. I have driven past lots of the big turkey ranches here out near County Fairgrounds. They are running round .  Everyone loves a loss leader and well prepared pretty dang tasty. Granted California trends non hormone/antibiotoic.

  4. It got suddenly shockingly cold yesterday late afternoon. Closed doors/windows. Pulled blanket from back of my chair like a cape around my shoulders. Went to kitchen to check on my chard/shrimp/pasta dish. Fringe of "cape" caught on fire. Blue/yellow flame? I stupidly stared in fascination, finally got self over to sink and doused it. I was so cold I never took blanket off and had neice cut the burned part off. My food was great, but the burned material smell! Odd how fire can tranfix you.

    And I thought I made over-stuffed quesadillas - they look like a quesadilla/taco hybrid with all that filling!  

    They also look seriously delicious!

    Sound delicious. Out here with that level of innards they'd more likely be griddled between two tortillas, pushed down a bit and cut in large wedges versus a fat taco.

  6. PS on the Clamato - most seafood stalls sell "Cocteles". A large goblet with mixed items, then goblet filled to brim with tomato juice or the tomato/clam juice. Ice cold beer alongside always. So a natural progression?

    Lufthansa economy from Singapore to Frankfurt was spectacularly bad. First meal was a wad of stuck together tepid ravioli. Breakfast was a barely thawed breakfast burrito. 

    You could do as the United attendant suggested when I asked her to warm up baby's bottle on an LA>Sydney flight  "I can't. Just stick it between your boobs"
