Hey jcas, that link doesn't work.

You have to be logged in to see it. You might want to upload it somewhere like photobucket and then copy and paste the "direct link" so that the rest of us can view it. Alternately, right click the picture, click "save as," save it to your computer, and then attach it to a new post you make here using the little mountain icon above where you type the text.

Tacos al Carbon

Marinated beef, chicken and veggies were thrown on the grill while the margaritas and cerveza were being served. Chopped roma tomatoes red onions, cilantro, roasted jalapeno and lime juice were pureed for the salsa fresca. After the corn tortillas were heated on the grill, the fillings were tossed in with the salsa, onion and cilantro as garnish to complete the taco.

That's a nice shot and all and I don't mean to tell you you're wrong, but I think I've seen that recipe before and it's actually called Tacos al Burrows. But it looks like you did a pretty good job with it even if you have the name wrong. I'd eat it.

al carbon means cooked over charcoal. So, if he cooked it over charcoal..then the name is correct.

Cooking "al carbon"--grilling over charcoal--is a great specialty of northern Mexico. One of the best ways to appreciate their cooking technique is in tacos al carbon, for which the meat, after being marinated and grilled, is coarsely diced and then folded into warmed corn tortillas along with guacamole, salsa, and a grilled green onion-the standard edible garnish for this dish.

Cookies I made (up)...cocoa/peanut/oatmeal chocolate chip. Very yummers! Made (with regard to crucial ingredients) with about 1/3 c. cocoa, 3/4 of a bag of mini chips, and 2 C+ of oatmeal. The peanuts ended up being perfect; I smashed up about 1/2 C. of salted roasted peanuts in a bag and added them to batter...added to the crispy/chewy thing.

NB: I need a bigger spatula. Which I've known forever, but am noting again. Short spatulas don't work well for getting the underdone-but-will-cool-to- perfect-consistency cookies off the sheet (three ended up on the floor). And it's too easy to overcook cookies with butter base and oatmeal, even erring on the side of underdone.

Did you use any eggs, flour, butter, oil, sugar, etc???

Oh yah! I just was short-handing about the crucial stuff.

But it was (your basic tollhousey kind of recipe):

2 sticks unsalted butter beaten forever with
3/4 c. white sugar
3/4 c. (okay maybe 1 c.) dark brown sugar

2 eggs
vanilla

1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1/3 c. cocoa
1/2 - 2/3 c. flour

2-1/2 c. + oatmeal
maybe 10 oz. mini chocolate chips
1/2 c. crushed salted peanuts

350 degrees, 15 min.

So so so so beautiful! It's almost my birthday, and I must make this cake. Please tell me how!

I know how to make a rainbow cake where the colors all swirl together (after just watching 5 how-to videos on youtube), but how do you do it so they are such nice, straight stripes?

Okay, so just realized the white in between was frosting, so they are all individual layers.

Sorry about that, I'm a little slow on the uptake.

My son and I made chicken fajitas last night, we never made them before and they came out good. Cooked boneless chicken strips in a little bit of oil, when that was done I skipped the fajita seasoning mix because it smelled really gross (like cumin or some Indian spice, it was nasty) and added some thin green pepper strips into it til that was all cooked up. When it was done, put it on warmed tortillas, added sharp cheddar, sour cream and tomatoes. I guess they were more like chicken tacos since I skipped the fajita mix, but they were delicious! Next time, I'm thinking of adding a bit of white rice and black beans.

Eggs Benedict

I love a plate of eggs benedict while perusing the LA Times during a late Saturday brunch. I had some country ham leftovers and grilled it up while toasting an english muffin. Several egg yolks, some fresh lemon juice, a dash of cayenne pepper and a stick of butter were whisked over low heat to make the rich and tangy hollandaise sauce. After gently cradling a couple of poached eggs on beds of ham and muffin, I covered them with a spoonful of hollandaise sauce to tuck them in. A pinch of Hungarian paprika on top was the pixie dust to send them off to sleep...in my stomach.
