@ Katherine - Exactly...@ Diana - It was delicious!<br /><br />@ Katherine - Exactly! We get tired of the same old thing, so I try to replicate what we get at the Chinese food place or the Mexican food place. But this was even better, because it's food that we're not that familiar with, living in the boonies. Living in Chicago, we had every type of cuisine at our doorstep practically. Now, we have Chinese, Mexican and Italian restaurants where we live. That's it. And it's totally boring.Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385290159403288196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363493634131378667.post-90983266800822864412010-02-24T14:09:20.570-06:002010-02-24T14:09:20.570-06:00You know what really struck me with this post?

This cookbook sounds really great - I might have to get it and make dinner a little more exciting around the house!Katherinehttp://www.shoot-me-now.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363493634131378667.post-68592501680974921052010-02-23T13:15:15.044-06:002010-02-23T13:15:15.044-06:00@ Dorothy Rimson - Thank you so much!

Many of the recipes call for Adobo rub, both wet and dry rubs. Thank you!<br /><br />@ Petula - I have the same issue. If I don't have a photo, I'm lost and I'm not very likely to try a recipe, unless I already know what it should look like. That's what's great about this cookbook. Nearly every recipe had a photo. I love that.Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385290159403288196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363493634131378667.post-37533882520686643052010-02-23T12:19:57.431-06:002010-02-23T12:19:57.431-06:00Sounds like a great cookbook.

I like cookbooks that have pictures - the ones that don't are a bit irritating!

I think you'd better send a copy of the movie Stepmom to your ex's fiance... just for the fun of it.<br /><br />anyway, i agree that meals at should not be boring... in fact, it should be the best meals ever so that the family won't have to think of eating out. that recipe book looks very interesting... my husband though is not very adventurous when it comes to food. he always prefers Filipino dishes but since I read here some similarities like the Adobo rub, I think I will have a look at Amazon. thanks for this great review!kamzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02201101489338103660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363493634131378667.post-13109328643858460822010-02-22T22:38:07.814-06:002010-02-22T22:38:07.814-06:00This is so perfectly performedThis is so perfectly performedDorothy Rimsonhttp://www.hampguide.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363493634131378667.post-35004551156196030912010-02-22T22:15:20.847-06:002010-02-22T22:15:20.847-06:00@ Staci - Most of the recipes are very easy. Of c...@ Staci - Most of the recipes are very easy. Of course empanadas and tamales are more ingredient and labor intensive. I don't think you have to have a food processor, but if you used a blender I would think you would need to cut your ingredients smaller.Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385290159403288196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363493634131378667.post-57299448812865461132010-02-22T21:19:40.529-06:002010-02-22T21:19:40.529-06:00How are the recipes for the cooking challenged? I ...How are the recipes for the cooking challenged? I can normally do tacos without screwing it up, but I've never been brave enough to try anything more complicated. I tend to burn things, have them stick together when they're not supposed to, fall apart, etc. It might save me some money and embarrassment for going to Taco Bell all the time if I could do these recipes. I just don't have that much faith in my own abilities in the kitchen.<br /><br />It's genetic. My mom used to set things on fire all the time too.<br /><br />Do you have to have a food processor?

I did not know I was missing such flavorful foods.<br /><br />@ Harriet - Hey Harriet! How's it goin'?<br /><br />@ Jen - Definitely try it. I think you'll really like it. I baked the chicken in an open roasting pan until it browned, then covered with aluminum foil until it was finished cooking.Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385290159403288196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363493634131378667.post-30069239044418452742010-02-22T12:10:06.876-06:002010-02-22T12:10:06.876-06:00That looks good.

I'm happy to hear there are plenty of pictures, because that's important for me too ... I'm a visual person. :)<br /><br />Love the idea of freezing the sofrito for later use ... have never thought of that ... and it sounds amazing with that chicken. Yum! <br /><br />Thanks for the tip, I'm adding this one to my list. :)The Diva on a Diethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08336939733516236525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363493634131378667.post-29688030882969011182010-02-21T20:56:37.052-06:002010-02-21T20:56:37.052-06:00Nice job Lola!Nice job Lola!soulful sepulcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12271584927611299868noreply@blogger.com
