1 Year Birthday & a Video to Boot!

Submitted by admin on Monday, 5 May 20084 Comments

WOW, times flies! We can not believe that it has been a year since we or I started this documented journal of what we eat nightly! We made a little video to show our thanks as well as to give you the recipe for these must make margaritas! See below! As a celebration of the birth of Chez US, we decided to re-create the original meal -of Vegetarian Enchiladas with a Tomatillo Chiptole Sauce. I freeze dry farmed tomatoes towards the end of the season – just whole – I throw them into a ziploc container and freeze them. Great to have on hand when you want really fresh tomato flavor in a sauce. This particular time, I cleaned out our supply and the sauce was incredibly flavorful – really fantastic! Slightly smoky and tasting like a garden full of fresh juicy tomatoes! I stuffed the tortillas with roasted eggplant, squash, mushrooms, cilantro (lots of it) fresh green garlic and onions and cheese. It was even better than than a year ago and the photos were really nice ….. then I hit delete and lost them all, except for the margarita kick off one! Lucky for all of us, Lenny is in charge of editing the video … so sit back and enjoy our first, “instructional video” on how to make these fantastic Blood Orange Margaritas!

    We’re on a roll here today, being able to watch both of your fantastic videos was so much fun and it’s so great to finally kinda “meet” you two today! Your Best of 2007 was a great overview of your fantastic dishes.

    This Birthday video just got us really excited because everyone knows how big we are on blood orange cocktails! You guys really have a sense of great sense of humor, which makes watching the videos so much fun.

    Hey Lenny, we had a cocktail shaker that was just as hard to open too! :)
