Yes, please!

All this talk of chicken made me hungry for it. The ones I get that are really good (veggie fed, free range, 3 lb.) only come in on Fridays so we are having chicken Friday night!

Saturday, I'll make a pasta dish...

The beef won out, and Carol_Petunia's yeast rolls. It's chilly and damp here so I couldn't grill, and wanted something warm, so I made beef stew. And yeast rolls, the best I've ever made... yeast breads are really difficult for me.

My daughter made me this blue ribbon, kind of faded from the sun, at one of my yeast attempts:

I make a mean enchilada; I use chile peppers imported from New Mexico for the sauce. I wish I could buy the Amy's family pack frozen cheese enchiladas in Canada! Those are SO good.

I make my own flour tortillas, also out of necessity. The best store bought ones here are a brand named, "Olafson's" no kidding!
