Cooking
A few weeks ago, I watched an episode of Giada's Weekend Getaways where she travels to Sante Fe, New Mexico. In addition to discovering this is a place I'd really like to visit, she was served (at some point in the trip) a most wonderful breakfast burrito.
It looked so simple, but brilliant. And I knew I had to make it for Matt.
Bacon and hash browns (I used a nice peppery bacon and latkes) are wrapped in a corn tortilla (ours were small, so I used two), topped first with grated cheese (orange, as Alex calls it) and then a fried egg. The whole thing is finished under the broiler, till the cheese melts.
I had the luxury of cooking the bacon and potatoes earlier in the day, so all I had to do when Matt got home was fry the egg, assemble, and broil.
It's so easy, and Matt loved it. So much so that I didn't actually see him eat it. I mean, I set it down for him, left the room to do something, and when I returned? Plate was clean.
For it's simplicity, and the fact he told me he'd definitely eat this again, I think this breakfast burrito will definitely show up again.
Blog Party#20 is underway, and this month, we're taking on the Shower! Turn fabulous treats into bite-sized party food, and stock up on fruit juice, because March is all about food and drinks for the Bridal or Baby Shower.
All you have to do is make ****AT LEAST ONE appetizer AND cocktail**** (that's a minimum of one EACH); take some photos, and write about it. Get your entries to me no later
than Thursday, 15 March: either leave a link here in the comments, or send it to me at thehappysorceress at gmail dot com. I'll post the round-up on St. Patrick's day, 17 March. Hope you'll join us!

- Pasta Shells With Smoked Chicken & Artichoke Cream
My in-laws took turns visiting my brother- and sister-in-law a couple weeks ago (she's on bed rest, poor girl), and while my MIL was away, we fed Matt's dad. I'd found this recipe in (I think) March's Bon Appetit. It's so easy; shells...
- This & That Fry
Ever since my visit to Georgia last summer, and the discovery ofwonton noodles, I've been able to eat many more Asian dishes. (See, I have this weird texture issue...hate squishy noodles...) Something I really like, and that Matt makes, is a sort...
- Wdb: Catching Up
We've missed the past few WDB's, either from busy schedules or illness. So, I figured lots of puppy pictures would make up for it. At the moment, we're down to 4. Fluffy's owner came by and grabbed him just today. Don't know if that...
- Blog Party#20: Showers Everywhere
It seems to me that every year right about now, I start getting invitations. Invitations to a baby shower. Or a bridal shower (in some cases, both at the same time!). Spring is just around the corner in the United States, and many a June bride or May...
- Finally, As Promised:jalapeno-cornmeal Muffins
Indira's been waiting, and here they are! Muffins for Matt, three jalapenos, minced, cornmeal, flour, buttermilk, and mashed potatoes (recipe calls for zucchini, but ours went bad), topped with grated cheese (Asiago), and baked till dry and firm....

As close to Santa Fe as I'm likely to get
