So, Tall-0ne is doing an international cooking project for 4-H this year. I love cooking projects, especially now that he's old enough to take projects with real food that really benefit the family.
While 4-H cooking projects are billed as "expensive," at least we get to consume the by-products, unlike the dang electricity project someone did a few years ago where we dropeed $100 at RadioShack on day 1!
This past week/end, Tall-one did "Mexican" in honor of Cinco De Mayo: Queso Dip (which I loved and no one else), Arroz con Pollo (picture included), and a gazillion of Empanadas Dulces (he made over 100 of them) out of whole wheat flour (let's just say that some things call for white) and I recyled my miracle chicken soup into enchiladas--and even included those pureed veggies some of you are so gung-ho about). Then tonight, Tall-one moved on to Italy and made Minestrone and Grissini (aka breadsticks) for dinner and then also pre-prepared Manicotti which he will cook and serve with Insalata de Romana (salad) for tomorrow.
He's moving on to Germany for Friday...anyone want to come to dinner? We just inherited a lot of flatware and I said we either had to get rid of some of it or start entertaining and The Man of the House (TMOTH) said "entertain."

I saw your DH running through Kroger getting the enchilada sauce. I have a really good recipe for it if you are interested. I try to make a double batch and freeze the extra.
