I made it out of purple heart and cherry.
That French toast is pretty low on sweetness. The bread has no sugar, the egg wash gets a little sweetness from the cinnamon but the overall effect is more savory. And I'm definitely not creating more dishes to do by segregating sweet and savory.
We hay chickens, ducks and geese. All the eggs taste exactly the same. The difference is the amount of taste. All the magic is in the yolk. A chicken egg is 30% yolk but duck and goose eggs are 50% yolk. And because of the size of goose eggs that means the yolk is the size of one and a half full chicken eggs. Duck eggs are better than chicken but don't come close to goose eggs.
The obesity epidemic started with the flood of fat free foods in the 80s. It wasn't the only cause but it played a part.
That's definitely the goal.

Oops. Right. Should have been cooking
Oh, then you got this. Easy peasy.
Oven broiled. Don't want to mess with the texture of the beans or clean up the microwave if a bean explodes. The oven is already on to warm the chips.
It's very basic. Take some dried guajillo peppers, like three or four decent sized ones. Cut off the stems, split them and deseed. Cut them into one inch sections with kitchen shears. Drop in a pot with enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil, remove from heat and let sit for 20 minutes. Put it in a blender and add like one or two garlic clove and maybe two tablespoons to a quarter cup of white onion. Pour in some of the water, maybe all of it? IDK. Blend until smooth. The important part: grab a mess strainer. Use a spoon or rubber spatula to push the liquid through it. Discard the solids. Done.
It's all eyeballs and instinct. It always needs way less onion than you think. But every ratio is up for grabs. Want it extra spicy, add a deseeded arbol pepper.
Gonna make wing sauce? Double the garlic, transfer the blend to a sauce pot, add some vinegar and too much butter. Heat until the butter is melted. Dip or toss the cooked wings in it.
Want enchiladas? Simmer some whole tomatoes for 45 minutes. Make a much bigger batch. Add the tomatoes, stem holes and all, to the blend. Pour some oil in a frying pan, get it up to 350 and pour the blend in without the splatters giving you 3rd degree burns.
It's basically a Mexican mother sauce.
Mexican hummus as we call it here. Basically gussied up refried beans as a meal. Cheap, a good use of weird leftover oniony bits and stuff.
This is my first attempt to do it with black beans instead of pintos. It actually turned out pretty well. I'm not used to making a super small batch of guajillo sauce and I accidentally put too much onion in it but it still worked out.
Cost per person: $2.56 #owcapril25
Not doing a Sunday edition this week. Here is one of my six orange girls. Lucy. Please post your orange kids in the comments.
Tuna mix included green olives, onion, pepperoncini, jalapeno, mayo, mustard. The bread is pumpernickel rye that I crusted with cotija cheese. For the cheese I went with smoked cheddar.
Was it tasty? Yes. The extra crunch from the cheese crust was amazing. I gotta use up this cotija before it goes bad and it is a perfect parmesan substitute for lots of things.
Cost was about $5.25 per person.

I've accidentally seen the first few. I remember walking away from each wondering if these are an advertising write-off on their taxes because they certainly are doing anything worth watching.
