Chillin' with chilaquiles

🇲🇽 hola!

I was inspired by my cousin's dinner post 😋 ... a Mexican egg breakfast dish by my cig (cousin-in-grace).

Looks like Chimichanga? not quite. Nachos? But not really.

Meet Chilaquiles.

A breakfast dish in Mexico (🔉 chee-La-kee-les).

Eggs, tortilla chips, Chili sauce. Chilaquiles, where've u been all my life?

Since I don't have tomatillos and jalapeno, I opted for the Rosso red version...

Improvised with tomato paste, tomato sauce, red chili flakes, & singles cheese.

Added cabbage shreds & cucumber bits for a heartier meal for my hungry tribe.

I can imagine the authentic version will zoom me out of this world and then drop me straight in vibrant Mexico.

But, until that Cancun trip...

¡Tú puedes! it's fun to make things work with what's on hand.

Getting creative in the kitchen is, what's the word for it? Revitalizing! 🔋

Tip for next version:

- Poached egg requires egg poaching skills. Which I do not have just yet.

So, fried eggs it should be next time... nice and runny...

- do the salsa verde style too, with 🥑.

how i met Nancy Drew

It was my sister who introduced me to Nancy Drew and her posse, Bess and George. Back in 4th grade, from a book she brought home from the school library. Erm, at least that's how I remember it. One Nancy Drew thing stands out in my memory though. The title "The Secret of the Old Clock". I vividly remember how the book looked, hard-bound, yellow spine, thick pages. The picture in the front cover showed Nancy, alone, crouched on the grass in the quiet woods at night, opening that old clock and looking so, well, so secretive about it! I recall how i felt then, seeing that picture, there is a thrill, like you were on the verge of discovery of a very precious secret! Thus, i got hooked in a much enjoyable way. I had graduated from fairy tales, fables and legends and had moved into mystery. It was one mystery solved after another! A different kind of adventure! How about you? Were you, or are you an avid Nancy Drew fan? What was your 1st mys...
