Potato leek soup


I've always had fond memories of potato leek soup because of this adorable cafe next to the office where I worked years ago. It was a wonderfully creamy soup which made me think it was much too indulgent.


Then I actually looked up the recipe for it in the Joy of Cooking and while you can add cream to it, it is optional. The creaminess, I've discovered, comes from the potato.

Guacamole


I meant to post this with the enchiladas. Where does the time go?


I make guacamole essentially the same way as salsa. I like my guacamole with the works: red onion, cilantro, lime juice, jalapenos, salt, pepper. Sometimes I'll throw in some chopped tomatoes but I didn't have any on hand.


I can't show you a picture of the finished guacamole because I ate it all before I could take any photos all of my photos turned out blurry.

(In)authentic chicken enchiladas


I do not vouch for this recipe--it is the most inauthentic enchilada recipe you could possibly encounter. But I don’t care because it was heavenly. Although I was alone while eating it, I actually said “Oh My God” out loud after my first bite, it was that good. (Me? Humble?)
