Enchiladas

I have to remember this from now on instead of the relying on these lengthy recipes I’ve searched for.  After preparing the chicken and what not:

  • Microwave corn tortillas for at least 40 seconds
  • Preheat at 425 F, roll then spray, bake for 10 minutes (otherwise it will break)
  • Lower heat to 400 F, spoon sauce over with cheese, bake for additional 30 mins

Those are the three main steps and I had to hunt for them through paragraphs of instructions.  Keep it simple, Wordy-McGee.  Now after all that work, I am eating a sad plate of wet enchiladas that resemble chunky tamales.  Mexican food in a limbo.  For a cook that takes her time, I am also a little impatient, hence mixing up the instructions.  Next time.  Third time’s a charm right?

Quick Tip: Cake vs. All-Purpose Flour

If anyone needed this substitution for lighter cakes, you can use 1 cup and 2 tablespoons of cake flour for every cup of all-purpose.  Thanks, Joy of Baking!

Sweet Tooth, Not So Sweet → dailymail.co.uk

My friend just shared this story with me.  This is the first time I’ve heard of anyone literally flipping a &#%$ about not getting a cupcake.  I love me some sugary, buttery goodness but that’s ridiculous.  Well I suppose people who reacted to the Whopper being taken off the Burger King menu would have a similar reaction here I guess.
