Poblano Peppers: Where's the Beef?

I've been trying to tidy up my naturally messy life/desk/freezer.  It's kind of the opposite of nesting, I guess.  Between the new fridge, my foot operation, and the cow in the freezer, I am trying to use up stuff in the freezer and make yummy dinners so I have lots of leftovers for Ken to heat up for us.  My doc told me that I will hate him for about two weeks, so I don't want to be cooking and take-out isn't really an option when you have a full freezer!  (Top shelf, Ken, for the meals!)

Anyway, we had a lovely dinner last night with new friends, Carol and Denny.  I made chiles rellenos poblanos with a stuffing of couscous, cilantro, and cheese, based on a recipe for cheese grits stuffed peppers which was excellent.  Then, because I was intrigued with the idea of making my own chorizo, I tried a recipe for chorizo stew in the crockpot.  Not too shabby!  I mixed the leftovers of each together, which will be one more meal post-op.

So Many Recipes/Food Blogs/Meals to Try, So Little Time

Being a foodie is hard work, especially trying to keep track of all the delicious recipes I want to try. What's a bloggin' foodie to do? Blog about it, OBV!!

Linds sent me a couple of ones I requested.

From Noble Pig, a recipe for Key Lime Cupcakes that sounds great.

And, knowing about the 1/2 cow in our freezer, despite the fact that she doesn't like most beef dishes, she found another Noble Pig recipe for me to try! Truth be told, she does enjoy meatloaf, (but not burgers), brisket (no steak), and most other meat. Guinness Brisket is one to try!

Sarah reminded me that I missed International Gin and Tonic Day on 4/9. Put it on the calendar for next year and/or celebrate a few days late!
