For fourth of July I'm busting out my Best International Recipes cookbook and cooking a variety of Mexican dishes. Drunken beans, Mexican rice, street corn, guacamole, and two kinds of enchiladas, chicken and pork. Also a cheese dip thing with a poblano chili, once I find a poblano chili. That was the only un-success of my trip. The kitchen is full of onions, avocadoes, garlic, cilantro, and corn. It's almost like I know how to cook or something.
I'm also making margaritas and a pineapple/orange cake. Mmmm.
I should be sleeping; I have a 6am call tomorrow. Except I've chosen to watch House Hunters International instead. It's fun to dream.
My life these days is pretty much about work. Sometimes I read on the way to work. I went to happy hour last week with C Ro, which was a nice change. No news on the house.

Wish I could show up on your doorstep. That all sounds fabulous.
I sure hope it all turns out. I spent the last hour trying to coordinate cooking times. I may have been too ambitious.
Though if I approach cooking like my finances, then diversification is the key to overcoming any kitchen mishaps.
Pineapple/Orange cake? Sounds yummy! If it turns out well, you'll have to share the recipe.
MommaJen, you may have heard it by a different name, "Celebration Cake." I'm pretty sure it made it into the cookbook you put together, but if not I'd be happy to send it.
