right on thanks for the info. drat i was hoping it could be done in a couple hours instead of overnight but i probably should have known better. i have a bag of dried chilis but they arent the kind you mentioned and the mexican market near me isnt open til tomorrow. depending on how i feel tomorrow i might just get some premade enchilada sauce or else put them off til later this week.

It might be worth the wait. Our normal-style chicken on that menu (we also did a tinga that would make you want to move in next door) was a slow simmer, shredded meat kind of thing with a shitload of that encho sauce in it, it's great for spanish rice, you could try your hand at a nice rojo salsa and use that in there, it's super versatile if you want to make enough for leftovers. It's a pain in the rear end at first but once you've got it you're basically on autopilot.

I miss working at that restaurant so much. I'd been eating there for years before finding myself unemployed and running into the owners at a bar, I can't describe the level of pride I took in cooking the food I'd already loved and talked up for ages. Plus I'm a loving monster at mexican food now, which is a good trait to have at cookouts. My guacamole game is hideous.

oh man i'm jealous. i've never had any formal training with mexican food or worked in a kitchen that did mexican despite that being the type of food i want to cook the most. everything i've learned about mexican cooking i've had to learn at home.

It's a huge pain in the rear end when you have to do it at home with ingredients you bought, that's for sure. I am incredibly lucky to have been able to just try stuff out in an encouraging environment that already had good recipes.

If you ever make salsa, blacken those tomatoes HARD in a pan before using them. Burn the gently caress out of them. The insides will still be nice and tomato style, but that char is where the flavor lives

MEOW
BITCHES

RE enchilada chat: you don't have to soak the dried chilis overnight you can nuke them for 15 sec to get the seeds & stems out and then simmer then in stock or water until they are soft (like 20-30 min) before blending them. this is what i do for my chili puree that i use in my chile con carne and chilaquiles and stuff it's all the same base i keep in the freezer, but for enchiladas you add garlic, shallot, and w/e plus some crema yum!

I ate too much Indian food last night and I have woken up with the odd sensation of being very hungry but also having a very full tum tum. It's very uncomfortable. I'm hoping I don't get the shits later today.

Also the missus is low-key angry at me for a reason she can't adequately explain. But she had a poo poo day at work so she is forgetting that so she gets pats on the head and a cuddle.
