Honestly, I am not a cooking type and it wore me out. No wonder those Mexican ladies are always in the kitchen!
i think that is a far more elaborate dish and one for a special occasion, than what they ordinarily eat! it doesn’t sound appealing to me, but i am sure it’s very authentic. i am not huge on mexican anyway. did you taste it?
I dont cook often, but I do it very well, and my first thought when I see a recipe is the most efficient way to do it.
(its why my wife hates me lol)
Whenever I cook, the most mess I have left, is the plates I served it on.
(see above, mac and cheese, drain pasta, back in pot, throw sauce in pot, clean saucepan, dole out food, fill remaining vessel with smoking hot water, put bowls in pot, 8 bowls, 5 minutes worth of washing..no need to tax the dishwasher)
By the time dessert is on the table, the sink is empty.
(and yes, its gauche, but I use plastic for dessert, i prefer to engage in the post dinner activity)
900 million cookbooks in the world. None on effiency. Not even RR 20 minute scam. She can cook in 20 minutes, but leaves an hours worth of detritus.
