Goomba's cooking for Mother's Day!

Goomba's cooking for Mother's Day!

Tomorrow is the overly commercial, yet sentimental favorite (USA)
"Mother's Day"

The kids first said they'd take me out and wanted me to pick a
restaurant. Hmmmmm... not really in the mood for that after spending a
week eating in restaurants. I'm more than happy everyone will be home
and I can cook for them. It gives me a reason (excuse) to make whatever
I want! After eating my previously mentioned feast at Rick Bayless'
Frontera Grill, I pulled out his book "Mexico, One Plate at a Time"
cookbook and have chosen the meal!
Oldest daughter informed me previous to my recipe selection that she
wants to bring over a black bean and corn salad and a peanut butter pie
she's wanted to make for a while. Okay, I can work with this!

So I'll be first making homemade chorizo (from M,OPaaT, page 26) to go
in to the Queso Fundido con Chorizo y Rajas also in the book. A hot
melted cheese and poblano chiles dish to serve with corn tortillas to
use as dippers.

Ensalada de Jicama, Ananas y Pepino- adapted from his recipe for mango,
pineapple and jicama, dressed with guajillo chile powder and lime juice.

Carne Asada-flank steaks marinated briefly in lime juice, garlic and
salt then grilled. Easy! Served with his (and mine) famous guacamole.

I'm still in the air about making anything special to drink?

I'm psyched about this meal!
Happy Mother's Day Y'all!
Goomba

I think the salt is traditional. I don't much care for it but do like
the contrast between the salt and sweet. A bar in our local Mexican
border town puts martini-type green olives in the margaritas instead of
salting the rims. Really good.

Happy mothers' day and congratulations on the radio show. You are a
lucky person to have such a wonderful family.

Kay's Margaritas!!! They are based on the ones by Rick Bayless in one
of his earlier books...

But here is Kay's recipe...

Kay's post said:

The recipe given here is modified from one in _Mexican Kitchen_ by
Rick Bayless. Rick Bayless calls it Frontera's Gold Margaritas. I
won't because it isn't anymore.

Kay

Margarita

1 2/3 cup Sauza Comemorativo tequila
1/4 cup Grand Marnier
1/2 cup lime juice
1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
1/4 cup sugar
Lime wedges
Coarse salt

1. Steeping the margarita mixture. Mix the tequila, Grand
Marnier, lime juice, lime zest, and sugar in a glass or plastic
pitcher until the sugar dissolves. Cover and refrigerate at least
2 hours (but no more than 24 hours). Strain into another pitcher.

2. Finishing and serving the margaritas. Rub the rims of 8 6- to
8-ounce glasses with a lime wedge, then dip the rims in a dish of
coarse salt. Serve the margaritas on the rocks in the prepared
glasses.

There are a lot of "blender" drinks that didn't start out that way, and the
originals are usually better, IMHO.

Another such drink is the daiquiri.... the original is so darned
good!! No need for a blender for that one...but now all you seem to
see..if you see them at all..are frozen daiquiris.

Absolutely. When I began drinking daiquiris they were the traditional
type. I thought the first frozen daiquiri I had was a bit strange.
