We are doing Tex-Mex tonight with leftover chicken from last night. I am going to sauté some red bell peppers, jalapeños, and onions and add some Adobo seasoning. I have some refried beans, cheese, and sour cream...making fajitas. I also have a pound of good chorizo (Mexican style) that I think I might make some queso fundido with for chips. I wish I had thought to get avocados. The ones in your pic look perfect!

Hi Jas

We’ve had a pretty good avo season this year here. We eat a lot of them, all year round but I love when they are perfect AND cheap

This “queso fundido” is a new one on me. I had to look it up. Looks amazing.

How do you make your?

Today's left overs.....

Stir fried pork with honey and capsicums accompanied by stir fried cauliflower and fennel. Not a combination that I've tried before; nor am I likely to try it again.

Do you mean fennel seeds?

Do you mean fennel seeds?

Yes. And black mustard seeds.

I've never seen fresh fennel here.

Fresh fennel is something I hated as a kid/teenager. Now I love it's unusual taste and the nutrients. The Italian people know how to handle fennel quite well

Today's breakfast was two cheese omelette and Canadian bacon sandwiches with a hash brown patty.

I've had a headache for two days straight now so I had a pizza and am now having a daytime lie in. Husband had yesterdays leftovers.

We have one halal butcher shop near me. When I walk in, they ignore me.

Why´s that? Do you wear a pork pie hat?

Hi Jas

How do you make your?

Hey, I ended up not making the queso, but probably multiple ways to do it. I don't like flour roux, I prefer melting cheese in heavy cream and thinning it out with milk or half n half whenever I make any kind of cheese sauce. I'll fry up the chorizo and drain it, then stir it into the cheese sauce. Serve with warn corn tortilla chips. At the restaurants they sometimes serve with actual corn tortillas and chips. I like a little salsa on the side too. And of course margaritas!

I ended up not making it because the chorizo I have in the freezer is a 1 pound package. It's just us 2, so that's a lot of meat I'll need to use up. I'm either going to wait until we have company over or I'll make some chili and add some chorizo to it along with ground beef.

Edited to add that some people add a bunch of other stuff to theirs that I never thought about doing. Guy Fieri (US TV personality and chef) uses beer, serrano chiles, green chiles, garlic, diced tomato and green/spring onion, and 3 kinds of cheese. I don't go through that much effort and I don't think I would like the beans in mine. I really just like the chorizo and cheese, but I suppose a little heat wouldn't be bad and the garlic (of course), tomatoes, and green onion would be okay. But since I have a bowl of salsa next to the cheese dip, I sometimes will dip a little into the salsa and then into the cheese dip on the same chip. Similar flavor profile, I suspect.

Had to look that up - basically it seems its green tea poured over cooked rice (obviously various other savoury ingredients are added). I couldn't spot the rice in yours...what else is in the bowls?
