...of invention. Its one of those weeks where we are poverty-stricken a couple or three days before payday and we are having to work with what we've got in the cupboards and fridge. So...
I made a lovely red salsa this afternoon...tomatoes, onions, garlic, some of the juice from a partial can of chiles chipotle en adobo and some additional smoked paprika, red wine vinegar, and some of my homemade chile powder. We were out of hot sauce, which is a veritable crisis in our household.
I've got enough dough proofing to make (according to the recipe) about thirty homemade flour tortillas. Running out of tortillas is BAD around here...and homemade really are so much better than storebought. And we have a big batch of my homemade beans. With the tortillas, life will be good.
Some oven-baked steak fries tossed in olive oil and a simple rub of mine are finishing in the oven right now. We're going to top 'em with some cheddar cheese.
We often do some of our best cooking just before payday. Lol...
