Chicken Enchiladas

The best chicken enchiladas I've ever had, at El Azteco (that's right, not "azteca") in East Lansing, MI.

Vacation Reading

When packing, the first thing to think about is your reading.
Don't forget your bookmark

Christmas Recital

I played "Old Rugged Cross," Joplin's "Swipsey Cakewalk," Burt Bacharach's "This Guy's in Love with You," and my reharmonization of "Jingle Bells."

Arroz con camarones

Making a broth with the shrimp shells, chicken stock, parsley, onion, garlic, a chili pepper, celery.
I heard if you marinate the shrimp in wine they puff up.
Two cups of short-grain rice
Onion and garlic in the olive oil.
Add the rice and make sure it is well-coated with the oil.
Drain the stock and add it to the pan with the saffron.
When the rice is just about done, put the shrimp on the top and cover
Good shit, Maynard.
