CFPs?

Alright, so last night be and i ended up at Taco Bell. At least this is better than McDonald's ... or is it? Anyways, be got his favorite "Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes" and i must admit they were really tasty. It's a little cup of seasoned roasted potatoes smothered in Cheez-Wiz, sour cream and scallions.

Tonight i wanted to try to make these "Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes" for dinner so i found this recipe online. I doubled the cumin, added paprika, used all vegetable oil instead of olive oil & butter and just roasted the potatoes (cut much smaller than 1" cubes) as opposed to pan frying + oven crisping. be couldn't find Cheez-Wiz or Velveeta so he improvised and created a cheesy sauce from Kraft singles, butter and soymilk. This sauce was really good but the potato part was lacking. I didn't think it was like the dish they serve at Taco Bell at all - the potatoes were too oily and the seasoning still isn't right. The potatoes should have the slightest coating of flour with much more ground pepper. Overall, i think this recipe is all wrong; once i figure it out we won't need to visit Taco Bell anymore!

To round out the meal, i sauteed red chard with garlic. be pan-fried me a very tasty Quorn fake chicken cutlet and made himself cheese ravioli. I think he really wanted more of that dal, though. We don't have enough red lentils now to make another batch but i'll pick a bag up this weekend.
