What did you cook/eat today (March 2018)?

Tamales with chicken and red chili sauce.

I guess I'll stick it in the challenge too.

I should have made a double recipe of the sauce, as it ran out. Karen did some vegetable and cheese tamales, which I made a green chili/tomatilla sauce for.

Tamales with roasted poblano, corn, onion, garlic, chihuahua cheese and a couple of other ingredients. First time using homemade masa.

Chihuahua cheese? Made with real Chihuahuas?

Woof!

I'm surprised you didn't ask how to milk a chihuahua to make the cheese like somebody else did once.

And Chihuahua is a Mexican state and city.

Mom's sammies, corned beef, ham, pickles, tomatoes, munster cheese, and 1000 island dressing as the "mayo." Normally, i make an egg wash to dip them in and sautee them in butter and oil, but I decided to make a pressed sammie with just butter brushed on both sides. Bread is a basic focaccia recipe, just made in a smaller pan so it would be a bit thicker so it could be split.

Lovely. Good idea to make the focaccia thicker to split. I'm getting hungry again now!

I'm away in Saffron Walden. I cooked Chicken Achiote with Paprika and Blood Orange for my friend's 70th birthday. I served it with black venus rice and guacamole. Then we had a lovely ripe Chaource cheese with plain crackers.

Yep and it only takes 20-25 minutes to cook versus better part of an hour for a loaf.

Do you bake all your own bread? I do try to but I don't keep up with the demand when I'm home (4 of us plus girl/boy friends) and sandwiches to be made for taking to work most days.

No, just when I feel like baking. We don't eat bread that much anymore. We have a decent bakery pretty close, but the price of bread from there versus what it costs to make is ridiculous, so I do try, just sometimes don't feel like messing with it.

Bread is cheap to buy here. But is it expensive to make from scratch, do you think? I don't know as I haven't costed it out. Like you, I tend to make it when I feel like it though.
