The kids first said they'd take me out and wanted me to pick a
restaurant. �Hmmmmm... not really in the mood for that after spending a
week eating in restaurants. I'm more than happy everyone will be home
and I can cook for them. It gives me a reason (excuse) to make whatever
I want! After eating my previously mentioned feast at Rick Bayless'
Frontera Grill, I pulled out his book "Mexico, One Plate at a Time"
cookbook and have chosen the meal!
Oldest daughter informed me previous to my recipe selection that she
wants to bring over a black bean and corn salad and a peanut butter pie
she's wanted to make for a while. Okay, I can work with this!

So I'll be first making homemade chorizo (from M,OPaaT, page 26) to go
in to the Queso Fundido con Chorizo y Rajas also in the book. A hot
melted cheese and poblano chiles dish to serve �with corn tortillas to
use as dippers.

Ensalada de Jicama, Ananas y Pepino- adapted from his recipe for mango,
pineapple and jicama, dressed with guajillo chile powder and lime juice.

Carne Asada-flank steaks marinated briefly in lime juice, garlic and
salt then grilled. �Easy! Served with his (and mine) famous guacamole.

I'm still in the air about making anything special to drink?

I'm psyched about this meal!
Happy Mother's Day Y'all!

Sangria!

Have A Happy!
