Mexican cooking eludes me. I'm learning though. I'm also learning that Mexican food doesn't mean tacos,burritos, fajitas, or rice, necessarily.
Tonight's dinner was chicken thighs sauced with oranges and prunes. Chipotle chilies in adobo, poblano peppers, sweet onions, and bacon are also in the sauce. I found a recipe similar to this in a cookbook, but didn't have the time for the original. I just took the basic flavors of that dish and created this! It took 35 minutes, not 4 hours. I win.
No rice or anything, we just ate this with some chips and salsa, and my was it tasty.
I got so much cool stuff today at TJMaxx. I ended up with 2 sets of kitchen towels, 2 potholders, a set of cotton-scented guest soaps, 2 pieces of funky wall art, 2 pieces of framed art, 3 wooden wall hangings (one that says "Le Bain" to hang above my guest bathroom, a really cute Laundry sign, and a "Welcome Family" sign for the guest room), a glass and stainless steel coffee press, a plaid table cloth, and a new fruit bowl for...... $140! Awesome! I'm so going back tomorrow.
