Shift of Tow

Melissa has to work all weekend, so tonight needed to be a good, relaxing night. We have season two of Dr. Who on DVD, and I decided to make tacos.

I made corn tortillas, green salsa, tomato salsa, and cooked the chicken. I was just going to do it up with onions and cilantro, but we got our farm share early (tropical storm coming tomorrow morning, which is usually farm share time), and it contained a big pile of tomatilloes and a bunch of tomatoes. I could not resist. For the green salsa I used this recipe, which calls for roasting the tomatilloes. For the chicken, I just dumped a bunch of cumin, paprika, oregano, pepper, salt, lemon juice, and a jalapeño in with the chicken and kind of braised it in the oven. Corn tortillas aren’t that hard, if you have a tortilla press and some masa. Well, unless you insist that they are round. I made one round tortilla tonight, and I was so excited that I brought it into the office to show Melissa. The rest were tasty but ugly. The whole meal was fantastic.

Oh, and also? We have a toaster now. I threw our old one away when we moved and have been using the oven to toast bread in the morning. I forgot how much easier it is to use a toaster, or I would’ve bought one a lot sooner. I have so much love for this toaster right now that I am going to show you a picture.
