Foods for those that just don't care anymore

Major advance on the development of green chile cheese enchiladas this evening. Need lots of the roasted Hatch chiles, probably a whole cup for a pan of seven. White cheese (jack, if not the real Mexican cheese). Meat in the filling (chicken, which I saute with onion, garlic, and basil). Meat : cheese : chile proportions are about 2:2:1. I use a canned green enchilada sauce and again lots of the shredded jack on top. Seven of the 10" tortillas rolled fit in the pan, baked 30 minutes at 400 F.

 

Not quite as good as what I remember from Sadie's in ABQ back in the 1990s, but a significant step in that direction, much much better than my previous attempts. Having a store nearby that gets the Hatch peppers and roasts them on-site means you can get them in adequate quantity and you don't make the error of trying to be parsimonious with them.

 

Which is good, as this was the anniversary dinner (24th) this evening. Met with approval.

I saw Apocalypse the other morning. It got off the bus, looked around, saw that it'd been recognised, walked over, told me that we didn't deserve to be put out of our misery. As it got up onto the next bus, it told me that it was going to follow the Grateful Dead until we got our stuff together enough to be worth apocalypsesing.

I don't know if this counts, but imagine a stack of toaster waffles topped with syrup, whipped cream, microwave popcorn (why the popcorn?), and a single whole strawberry.

 

Is it wrong that that sounds at least intriguing?

Except for the popcorn, yeah, that sounds pretty good.

 

I don't really like popcorn. There was a traumatic incident in college.

Me also.  I had a housemate in my freshman year who would put the bag of popcorn in the microwave, sit down to watch TV or read a book... and completely forget about the microwave popcorn.  About 60-70% of the time, he burned the popcorn.  And if you've had to repeatedly smell burned popcorn for a year, you'd understand my ongoing dislike for popcorn.
