Y fajitas tambien!?

(I didn't even need babelfish for that- gogo highschool spanish!)

This was another bunch of ingredients I brought to a friend's, and they supplemented with their own (Chicken was on sale at the local grocer so we'd had the same idea). I forgot the avacados and we also needed more lime, so I was sent out on a collection mission. Upon my return, I had been completely supplanted as head chef, and was pretty much relegated to table-setting duty. As such, I cannot tell you what occult culinary rituals went down in there; I can only tell you the result was absurdly good. I'll be in contact with the usurpers- so fear not, dear reader (almost a palindrome!)!

Anyway, since we devoured all the chicken in the great fajita caper, the next night I moved right on to the next meal on my big ol' list 'o things to cook: the quintessential Spaghetti! I picked up some super-cheap sausage to serve as the meat, then followed the recipe from the Godfather when Michael is in the kitchen and Clemenza tells him how it is. As such, you (DEAREST READER) don't get a blockquote because you can (and should!) just go watch an American classic. Unsurprisingly it was delicious, though a tad watery (too much stewed tomato). Also cheap sausage is cheap (/repackaged hotdog). Overall though, as one taster noted, "Good enough for a gangster."

It would be cool to continue along the mediterranean and make something Greek- but then again, fajitas aren't remotely spain-spanish, and similarly the spaghetti (in the form I made it) is as much an American classic as the Godfather itself. As such, next time: "BAKED BEANS AND CHEAP SAUSAGE: the only way this could get classier is if we invited a teacher"
