Are they expanding into the northern territories, or were you down south of the border.

edit:n/m, i see you're in SD.

There's also the taquitos... :mrgreen:

Okay! I decided it's time to jump in the game. This morning I was finishing up a chicken soup (from a stock I had created yesterday from a whole roasted chicken I made for lunch) and I decided to put together a little fancy breakfast. Here're some pics and info about what I made :)

The egg dish is a spinach and sausage (jalepeno-mango chicken/turkey sausage) frittata with carmelized onions and a little bit of sharp cheddar cheese.

The other dish is roasted sweet potatoes and yams with shallots and a bit of heirloom varietal purple garlic, rosemary and a slight bit of olive oil.

The coffee is single origin, locally roasted Ethiopian Yergecheffe.

Here's the cool thing. The only added fat is the bit of cheddar cheese (maybe 1/3 of an oz) and the olive oil, less than a tsp. The yield was somewhat greater than the pictures show.. but I am currently devouring the last little bits :)

Oh, and no, I didn't magically get a table.. that's my little kitchen cart - I decided it was a better backdrop than my computer desk :woot:

^ Sugoi...! :victory:

Maybe you missed your true calling. :mrgreen:

Will do. :) Though I'm not the Satou no Joou anymore. I'm trying to cut back on the sweets. Here's hoping I stick to it. :fingerscrossed:

Haha, that's true. Gotta love the diversity. :D

What is up with all these menfolk with better cooking skills/ideas than me? :sweat: Looks delish, btw, phlargo. :)

Oh... some more fun - here are some of my favorite food and table pics I've taken in the last couple of years:

It's so much work to do, but it's so pretty when you're done. Yum. Made this far a family garden party in 2007.

Pretty table setting and food preparation for having some friends over one weekend. Yum.

Christmas Eve dinner shot from December 2007. I've made a point of trying to get this difficult low light shots at Christmas because they're so neat. Not so much a food shot, but an eating environment shot :mrgreen:

The only one not taken at home: The aftermath of an espresso tasting (3 different espressos) I had in March at Seattle Coffee Works on Pike.

Those are awesome! :applaud:

I love a Caprese Salad! So tasty and refreshingly light. You already know I love green beans because I threw them on the side of the steak I prepared. Great pics. :)

Since I have a couple of foodie outings planned in this month I'm going to try and remember to take some pics, if I don't forget before I inhale the food. :beaten:

It our own version of a smorgasbord. :victory:

I used this French Brie (Brie Couronne) when I made a Jambon de Paris/Brie Baugette Sandwich. It was a good match with the French ham and crusty bread. :victory:
