LOL...Teej, I didn't cook much when it was just me. Since my fiance came to live with me, I've been cooking a whole lot. I always thought I wouldn't be a very good cook, but YES I'm going to "toot my own horn here", I'm a very good cook! :D

You know T12am as far as Mexican dishes I've made, I've made the same as you. I have also made tacos, which came out pretty good, just ground beef tacos though with a mexican spice for the meat. Enchiladas I haven't made yet as I remember my stepmother making them when I was younger & they seemed to take alot of time. I just might try them 1 day soon though.

Now I know what I want to eat over the weekend, Mexican food...thanks T12am! :D

LOL...to give you a little time to get here Teej, come on by over the weekend. My fiance will be back from Atlanta & then I will be REALLY cooking again. This week it's been easy cooking for me, hot dogs, mac & cheese type of stuff! :D

Next time you make it, send some my way! I make some pretty good spaghettii out of the already made spaghettii sauce, I add extra spices, meat & even more tomatoes to it, comes out pretty good. I have to say the best that I have done on plain memory & childhood memory to boot was when I made the meatloaf that my mother used to make. I used to watch her cook when I was very young, I somehow remembered the things she put in it to make the meatloaf. 1 day I decided to try it & I couldn't believe it, but when I took that first bite & tasted just like my mother's! I was so proud of myself that day! :)

arc: dumplings are good ... please post your recipe. :)

I love making a mess in the kitchen. I do it mostly at breakfast or brunch ... the typical eggs, bacon, sausage, french toast, and my favorite - corned beef hash! :D I think I'm also getting good at making omelets. Otherwise, I enjoy noodle soup dishes ... so far, it's only my niece who's willing to sit on the table and eat with me once I finished preparing it.

As much as I enjoy preparing meals, the clean-up part is such a major pain in the a**! :(

To Stoner and other dumpling lovers

DIY dumplings are very delicious. If you live in the town/city has chinese supermarket, you may simply by the ready-to-usewraps/covers. I prefer to use chinese chives mixed with pork mince as fillings.

Here is the website about making dumplings:

Feel free to ask any questions. Some of my friends call me "dumpling girl"

LOL ... about 85% of the dumplings I consume are purchased at the Asian supermarket. Surprisingly, them supermarkets grow on trees in my area. I usually fry them with very little oil on a skillet, and have them for snacks or an appetizer. Otherwise, I just order from the restaurant when I feel lazy to prepare them.

Thank you for the link ... I will try to make them myself *if* I ever get around to it. :D
