una mas, una mas! ja ja ja (that's how my Argentinian facebook friends type LOL)!It has been some time since we feasted hispanic style (does that sound racist or am I being overly sensitive??). Tonight, Chef broke the spell and dazzled me with a flavorful burrito.
A great burrito requires a great filling and for me, my filling of choice is the one-two punch of rice and beans. Arroz y frijoles! Since we have a 15 pound bag of jasmine rice, that's Chef go-to grain - move over uncle ben (you had to see that coming). Chef cooked the rice with onions, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper and red beans.Once cooked, Chef scooped the arroz y frijoles onto a tortilla and topped it with cherry tomatoes*, salsa verde, shredded jack & cheddar cheese, red onion, and homemade hot sauce. And a speckling of cilantro.
*in a fit of weakness, Chef had a breakdown, buying out-of-season tomatoes from the grocery store and the not farmers market. he is asking for forgiveness
In other news, Burlington, Vermont will be hosting what they plan to be the world's largest cowbell ensemble. The record to beat: 1.306 cow bell tollers in Glarus, Switzerland. And here's the food-related 'scoop' - Ben & Jerry's will be there giving away a free scoop of their ice cream! Heehee I am giddy with the thought of free ice cream! Date: April 14th. Road trip anyone??
