Spring fever
It's finally warm enough to start gardening again....today I planted yellow squash, eggplant, chilies, tomatoes and a bunch of flowers into a lovely container garden on my porch - I also hung my kitchy string lights for warm summer night reading.
Today Noel found a cool blue accent wall in a home on Apartment Therapy dot com. I was so smitten with the color (Behr's "Distance") that I went out to Home Depot and duplicated it on my living room wall. That, along with a white shag area rug, completely transformed my drab living room into a place I now love. Enjoy the pics (as much as Gracie is enjoying the new rug, I hope)!
Chili Rellenos
Ah, Noel made the most delicious chili rellenos for me on Sunday morning. I tried duplicating them tonight, but alas, a Gringa should leave the chili rellenos recipe to the experts (Noel's gramma walked her through it on the phone....go, gramma!)
The basic recipe is as follows:
Pan fry/grill 4 Anaheim Chilies until the skins turn black. When they cool, peel the skins off.
Slit a hole at the bottom, and slide pieces of cheese (I prefer Monterey Jack) inside.
Sprinkle with flour.
Roll the chilies in a mixture of 3 stiffly beaten egg whites, folded with 3 egg yolks, salt and pepper to taste.
Fry in vegetable oil on medium heat until browned.
Enjoy!
