Well, I don't have any spectacular new recipes to report, or any spectacular news of any sort, actually. I did however go to one of my absolute favorite Mexican restaurants tonight--Dos Arbolitos (it's in the San Fernando Valley--North Hills).
I ordered the BEST soup--cocido--and the bowl was literally overflowing with vegetables and really tender beef. (If you decide to check it out, the chicken flautas and ablondigas soup are also delicious.) And the best part--the onion, cilantro, and lime to put on top!! Fortunately, the meal was a success unlike the last time I went to a Mexican restaurant and ordered menudo by accident, which is a completely different soup and not at all recommended to those unaccustomed to big swirly pieces of intestines. I had to give that one away. On top of the funny aftertaste, just looking at it was a tad nauseating.
Anyway, after dinner I went to this asian market next door called Seafood City and I got Hello Panda cookies! So good, and I didn't feel insanely fat after, which unfortunately is an annoying habit of mine whenever I eat anything I actually like. Get strawberry--it's artificial fruit heaven.
So I'm thinking of making crepes tomorrow for my mom. I made them for my boyfriend recently who kindly informed me that they were very "eggy," and I can only assume that it wasn't a compliment. I don't really trust the boy's judgment, though, because he doesn't really like anything unless it's covered in salt or chilies, deep fried, or overly sweetened. Anyway, I really liked them, and I think that with a few minor alterations they could taste very similar to the German pancakes at IHOP that are so good. I'll let you know how it goes and you can decide for yourselves.
xoxo
