Eli Dishes it Up!

Eli has developed a new interest thanks
to The Nana. He and she have been cooking
it up on the down-low whenever they're together.
He's got special spatulas and over the shoulder towels
(read 'guy aprons') and everything. He's making me nuts
wanting to scramble eggs all the time.

NOW...he's got an online recipe box and a gig
to plan and cook dinner once a week at our house.
We'll let you know how that goes and what our reviews
are. His first dish selection...Tingas! Recipe above:



Tomato Chopper!


He looks just freakin' like Jack Nicholson
in The Shining...I'll probably have nightmares...


Ah, whew...there's my sweet fella, flippin' Tingas.

Our first experience at Chez Eli.
We all liked the Tingas A LOT.
We all agreed as we were munching them up
that we were glad we modified the recipe and
used green chilies instead of jalapenos, added cheese
and fried them lightly flat instead of rolling them into
tubes and deep-frying them. We all also agreed
that we'd like some spicy dipping sauce for them
next time. We gave them four out of five stars!

Eli is a brilliant little chef. We had lots of fun.
He listened carefully. Followed directions and
didn't fuss when momma had to step in a help
a little. Look for posts of our future culinary adventures!
