A FAJITA KIND OF AFTERNOON...

The Chef was hungry for Fajita's...I just smiled and went looking for my camera.
Watching him cook is a huge learning experience for me...when he says you should cut the flank steak on an angle...thin, to ensure even cooking....I listen.


perfectly sauteed and resting while the flank steak browns...




crazy amazing huh?....and this is just lunch!







Serve with fresh cilantro, guacamole, and salsa of choice.

"A nice "Cerveza" would go nicely with this" comments the Chef....

then he explains it's a Mexican beer....cause he thought I wouldn't know...I just smiled and pretended I did.

Chef did add a little "Chef Rick Bayless's Frontera Fajita Skillet Sauce."

No complaining from me....Mmmm....


Chef used a fajita wrap for his...I just ate mine naked...less carbs...resolutions and all.







We had the right lighting too... and to think I used to regularly skip lunch...

there will be no more skipping...

Bon-appetit...

Kathy and the Chef...

  17. Beautiful food!! How wonderful to have the chef in your life! You are going to need to practice great discipline my friend-- there are going to be some fabulous smells coming from your kitchen. ( I could just gain weight thinking about it!)

    Can he cook me something on my weight watchers diet?

    You are SO blessed!
