someotherguy for indulging me today. He took me food shopping, and we got the stuff for me to make chiles rellenos.
In San Diego, where I lived most of my life, making chiles rellenos is like making injera in Oakland, where I live now: you can do it if you want, but most people won't bother, because you can buy them on any street corner.
Today, I bothered. Sadly, I didn't take photos, but oh, my, these were so good. Best I've ever had, and I love the things madly. (They were probably best because (a) we ate them within a few minutes of making them; and (b) they were not drowned in enchilada sauce, so they didn't get soggy.)
I based them on this recipe, omitting the flour, and forgetting the pinch of salt. Used Monterey Jack cheese, and served with a bunch of stuff: shredded chicken in homemade enchilada sauce, rice, avocados, fresh salsa, and sour cream. My, my, my. Very good.
My weekend so far had been chaotic and difficult. I make order in my life by shopping for and preparing food. I feel so much better now.
