I started today at 8:30 am by charring poblano peppers in preparation for stuffing them with a picadillo that is meaty, sweet and savory. I made the picadillo, chorizo verde, poached eggs and am now working on candied jalapenos. The next item that I need to make is a deep red ranchero sauce for the stuffed poblanos while the picadillo cools enough for me to handle it.
I love working with my hands. There is something so very satisfying about the feel of the food. Like working with bread dough...I do not use any kind of machine when I make bread. I mix everything with a wooden spoon to start with and then move directly from the bowl on to the granite countertop and use my hands.
Later, I plan on sitting down with my mom's recipes and working on the book. A nice cup of chocolate raspberry coffee, going through the recipes and reminiscing about my childhood with my husband.
I almost forgot, I have one more thing to make.....I promised Jason a dark chocolate cream pie later today.
Happy Labor Day!!!
