Other than that, life has been busy as usual. The only little tidbit that I can remember from the past few days is that I tried to make chili rellenos the other night for dinner. A friend gave me a bag of peppers from her CSA and I immediately knew I wanted to stuff them with cheese and fry them. I wanted it a little more hearty so I made rice and chicken to stuff inside with a ridiculous amount of cheese. I found a recipe and followed it, but they were weird and greasy. The insides and the peppers themselves were tasty, but the outsides were strange. I had never actually had one, so I had nothing to compare to. After I made them (and then confessed that I didn't know exactly what they are) my sister - who has had them before- described it like a pepper stuffed with cheese encapsulated in an omelet. I was thinking it should be deep fried like a chili popper... basically I failed. Next time I go to a Mexican restaurant, I am going to order the chili rellenos so I can examine it. Any tips or good recipes?
Come back later to peep my secret project!
Derwin loves those- I think they are greasy too. That's how they are- we had them in New Mexico.
