Don't know how I got my hand in front of the flash. I would call it a success. It was tasty but it needs something, perhaps more salt. I'll adjust the recipe next time. The fry daddy runs at about 300 degrees.

Cheese and onion enchiladas, take two. My tortilla handling game has benefited mightily from Annie’s advice.
I had two ancho pasilla in there, but the pale brown sauce that came out of the blender looked pale and brown. So I set another pasilla and a New Mexico to rehydrate while I practiced brunoising the leftover half onion. Also, 1/2 tsp Mexican oregano is too much for my palate.

What are we calling these knife skills? ;)

A French brunoise should be 1-2mm cubes. I suggest practicing planks with carrots, then parlay that into a julienne, then cut the julienne crosswise into your brunoise.

But you know, I don’t take this kinda thing seriously anyways.

All those fancy terms mean is “I got it cut up, okay?”

Cooking is a form of chemistry, words matter as they allow precision in replication.
Then perhaps “great cutlery used very badly”

I’m sure if my knives could speak, they’d have sharp words, cutting observations and edgy epithets a-plenty about the mismatch. But they can’t even make a pointed remark, so I continue to blithely torture them.
