I made black-bean enchiladas tonight. Haven't done it in a while, but [livejournal.com profile] someotherguy's been in the mood, and I was home and felt like cooking. I took photos, but they didn't come out as well as usual, because I used the light-colored island as a backdrop instead of the dark blue table. I'll know better next time. Anyway, here's my latest food porn. [livejournal.com profile] someotherguy thought it was cute that I was taking pictures of the food. I blamed [livejournal.com profile] klwalton.



(Cooked the black beans in the pressure-cooker; sauteed onions and spinach in oil and salt; added to black beans and cilantro; lightly fried corn tortillas, then dipped them in commercial enchilada sauce; filled tortillas with jack cheese and bean mixture; filled baking pan with enchiladas, leaving room for buttload of cheese; topped with a little bit more sauce and a buttload of cheese; baked at 350F for about 20 minutes, until the cheese began to bubble and turn light brown.)

My very own tomatoes! My very own tomatoes!

So sweet and yummy. I'm so proud.





Oh, and by the way, everything came out yummy. I like the yellow cucumbers. They're nifty. Have I mentioned lately that I love the Berkeley Bowl? ;-)

Yeah, yeah :):).

Actually, it's nice to be blamed for *something* :):):):):).

Great pics! Mmmmmmmmmmmm.

And I love the Berkely Bowl, too. And it's all [livejournal.com profile] wild_irises's fault that I now know how easy it is for me to get there!

Is that a buttload of cheese, or a metric buttload of cheese?

:P

Mmmmm... tasty!

I have an enchilada recipe that I *LOVE LOVE LOVE* that I need to make again. [livejournal.com profile] okoshun isn't as crazy about them, so I may make them next time she's out of town.
