ADVENTURES IN THE KITCHEN

Consider the first 'recipe a month,' a beef enchilada bake, complete. A success? Eh, for the most part.





Bon appetit! Or, more appropriately, buen apetito!

Thoughts/reflections from the chef:

- Peppers are hot, use them sparingly. Just because you don't usually cook with them, much less eat them, doesn't mean you have to get overzealous in your attempt to broaden your horizons; all that that gets you is spiciness that masks the taste of the dish, lips that still feel a little zingy, and fingers that, after washing repeatedly, and showering, still smell like peppers. Whoops.

- While leftovers are great (another meal for another day!), perhaps instead of just cutting a recipe in half, actually use your brain and do the math to make an appropriate portion of food.

- A key ingredient for any recipe is, of course, good music. If anyone was curious where the producers for Dancing With the Stars got their ideas for songs, tune in to the Party Favorites channel on On Demand; I swear I heard at least five songs that they've recently used to dance to this season. That I can recognize/remember songs from the show? Yeah, not too sure if I should be admitting to that.
