11:35 pm, Saturday, June 23rd, 2007The burritos came out wonderfully. For the filling, I combined some white rice with melted butter and burrito seasonings, then threw in a can of pinto beans, a can of white beans, some finely chopped bell peppers, various spices, enchilada sauce, grated sharp cheddar, and shredded chicken breast. The blanco sauce was pretty easy to make; one package of cream cheese, a quarter-cup sour cream, a handful of grated Monterey Jack, and a little water to decrease viscosity. One thing to remember when deep-frying the burritos is to not overfill them; you have to use about half as much filling as you would with the regular sort.
I made a ton of filling at once, so we had burritos today too. And we’ll probably have them tomorrow. Though I’m starting to get a little tired of them, so I think I might just make up a bunch with the remaining filling and freeze ‘em.
Brett and I played Heroscape last night. We had to set the map up on my sister’s dining table since none of the surfaces down here are large enough (except the floor, but that’s uncomfortable; my leg always falls asleep). 500-point battle, pretty epic. He drafted Braxas the black dragon as his first pick, then supplemented it with Raelin, then threw in the Krav Maga (who combo extremely well with Raelin). My significant drafts were Major Q9, Syvvaris, and the Airborne Elite. I won, but it was pretty close. The last round was Braxas at 1 life against Major Q9 at 2 and a samurai archer.
