[C. sapidus]

Emily_R – I am so glad you liked the slipper burgers. We haven’t made them for way too long.

Morkai – mmmmm, crab cakes

Dcarch – beautiful wings, and I like your okra-holders

ScottyBoy – welcome back!

Dinner from Marilyn Tausend’s Cocina de la Familia

Cilantro soup – Chayote and two bunches of cilantro roughly pureed with rich chicken broth, simmered with sautéed onion, garlic, and tomato, thickened with cornstarch, and served with fried tortilla strips, queso fresco, and Mexican crema. Very popular, even though the boys claim to dislike cilantro.

Tequila shrimp and pasta – Shrimp sautéed in olive oil, flamed with tequila, and removed. Simmer heavy cream with a paste of ancho chile, garlic, Mexican oregano, and rice vinegar, return the shrimp to the pan, and then toss everything with the pasta. Good stuff!
