I made this the other day when I was in a hurry and it turned out much
better than I thought it would:
2 10-oz cans Ro*Tel
1 c white rice
1-1/4 c water
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
Put everything except the beans in a pot. Bring to a boil, lower the
heat, cover, simmer for 10-15 minutes. Add the beans and cook, covered,
about 10 minutes more. Eat.

What is Ro*Tel? A kind of phone?

Ro*Tel is a brand of canned tomatoes with green chilies. I picked up a
case at Costco recently.
Why would you think I cooked a phone into a batch of beans and rice?

My quick go to along those lines is cooking a can of black beans with
salsa, and pouring them over brown rice, serving it with some lettuce
and tomato and some queso fresco on top, along with a tortilla. Very
quick like a bunny.

Tonight I made this butternut squash & spinach dish - a recipe from Whole
Foods. I followed the suggestion to substitute feta for the blue cheese.
It took a bit of time and work to bring it together but worth it.

I made something for the very first time and it turned out pretty well
BBQ Ribs
1 6 lb package of country style pork ribs
lawrys salt
1 qt apple juice
bbq sauce of your choice, I used Sweet Baby Ray's
cut the ribs in half, or not. Salt liberally. Arrange in a pan. Hot box
should be 250.
Pour apple juice over the ribs until they almost cover. Place in oven,
and walk away for 2 hours. At the 2 hour mark, check on the ribs,
turning them over. Add more juice if needed. Close the door and walk
away for another 2 hours.
Remove from the oven and discard the juice. You can use if for
something, but I just tossed it. Apply sauce to the bottom of the pan.
Roll the ribs in the sauce, and then apply more sauce. Increase temp on
the hot box to 500, or you could at this point broil them, but since I
do not have a working broiler, this will have to do. Return the pan to
the oven and let cook for 15 mins, flip them over, resauce and 15 mins
again. After that, remove, and enjoy.
You can pull the pork from the bones and shred it for sandwiches or
serve with mashers and gravy.
I think it came out pretty well, and it only cost like 6 dollars
including the sauce.

That's sounds wonderful, Jim. I love ribs and always figured that they'd
make great first date food. You know, weed out the guys who take
themselves and their clothing too seriously. ;-)
For Sexto de Mayo I made this recipe for vegetable enchiladas. It avoids
canned enchilada sauce and carried a good amount of heat but not over the
top. I took the option of using feta instead of queso fresca, as it's
what I had on hand. The recipe is from the folks at America's Test
Kitchen, via this blogger. I suspect the filling would be wonderful in
quesadillas too.

thanks. And ironically, I cannot find a woman, not that I'm looking too
hard. ;)
Quesa fresca is plentiful here, and cheap, about 2.50 for 12 oz. I have
found it to be good for snacking on, in addition to various applications.
