Like any good Mexican restaurant around here, I took the exact same ingredients left over from yesterday and made an entirely new meal - a quesadilla. :laugh:

Do that 60 more times, and I can open Tasty’s Cantina…or El Rancho Tasty…or Amigo Tasty’s…

I favour ‘Tasty Reuben’s’

It would be a smash!

“What comes on the soft taco?”
“That’s a flour tortilla, filled with seasoned ground beef, shredded lettuce, onion, tomatoes, black olives, and cheese.”
“I see…and the burrito?”
“We take a flour tortilla, fill it with seasoned ground beef, shredded lettuce, onion, tomatoes, black olives, and cheese, then fold in the ends and roll it up.”
“Interesting…and the quesadilla? How is that prepared?”
“Ah now, with that one, what we do is take seasoned ground beef, shredded lettuce, onion, tomatoes, black olives, and cheese, put it on a flour tortilla, but then…wait for it, wait for it…we put another flour tortilla on top, then grill both sides.”
“Choices, choices…”

Have you tried filling baked potato jackets with samosa filling? I obtained the recipe from a Taj Mahal Hotel chef in Bombay (not through personal contact though).

So purple cauliflower until you cook it and it goes blue,

I think it’s gorgeous, but if you want to keep it purple, I think you can add a little vinegar to the water (if you’re boiling it, anyway). Purple cabbage does the same thing.

I read an interview with Alfred Hitchcock, and he lamented the lack of blue foods, being it’s such a lovely color. :laugh:

It took me far too long to work out the reasons why sticking plasters used in commercial kitchens are blue in colour :yuck:
 
Our dinner today at Restaurant Zheng – Fine dining restaurant Den Haag was absolutely divine ❤️ the only downside was that the food wasn't endless! :laugh:
