TODAY I AM . . . . .

Roasting green chilies, and roasting, and roasting, bake first cake for the soldier cake . . .  and roasting.  Oops! got some cinders . . . and roasting . . . thinking about bringing out the "big gun"

Note to self:   If you have to think that long and hard about whether or not to order a big ole bag of green chilies, you will regret it. At least while you're roasting them, in the BBQ grill, out in the heat.

Also, pay attention and don't order the tortillas, or you will end up paying $$ instead.

And roasting some more . . .  sure glad that I can do it outside on the grill.  I used to do it in the kitchen for days on end and talk about a sinus attack!



I am forcing myself to take on all the crummy, horrible, boring jobs that I do NOT want to do.  I should be left with a wonderful feeling of accomplishment at the end of day.  If I am not, I will go and buy a carton of Rocky Road Ice Cream (not just any ice cream) and eat myself into oblivion.  I won't care how much it costs, I won't care if it makes me sick, which it probably will, and I won't care how much it costs.  Well, as long as it doesn't take all of my gas money, won't let myself use any bill paying money.



                                    I will also eat it before it looks like this   . . . . . .

Then I will probably make some absolutely indescribable Chile Rellenos that look like this.  None of that thick dough deep fried stuff like you get in a restaurant!  With just the right amount of Frank's Hot Sauce drizzled over the top and a wonderful crisp, crunchy salad on the side.

So I am down to just one more batch of the peppers to roast, after the batch that is on roasting right now.  So best get busy, shake a leg, put the nose to the grind stone and the shoulder to the wheel.. OK, OK, no more nonsense, I'm going!!   Sheee!
