I've been dabbling into some fun delicious spanish meringue and salsa music. I guess that brought out the fire for my craving of some delicious mexican food. Today, of course I made a meal from those fresh fusilli that I made the other night. Although, I did not anticipate that I would make so little food. I boiled the fresh handmade fusilli for 5 minutes. In a pan I sautéed 1 chopped tomato, 1 fresh clove of diced garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, 4 quartered Spanish olives, and basil. I added the fusilli and let it cook for 3 minutes. I ate it immediately to find absolute and pure satisfaction. Oh dear, it was very little, yet it was so yummy. From the first to the last bite, it made me truly appreciate homemade pasta and yes, it is work all of that extra work to have a fresh pasta.
To satisfy that craving of Mexican food, we decided to head over to La Fiesta Taqueria and it was traditional Mexican food. Now that I will be moving to Tennessee permanently, the selection of fresh Mexican food is quite limited and living in California, I am spoiled to have all of those beautiful border hoppers share their cuisine with us. I ordered the Chile Verde and was more than perfectly satisfied. I was blown away by the intricate amount of flavors in the chile verde sauce and how perfectly everything on the plate went together. Sure it came with just a side of refried beans, rice, and guacamole. It was all of that I had missed because from being away from it that long, I realized how good it was. So I made some chile verde soft tacos and gobbled them up so quickly. If you are ever in Sacramento, be sure to go to this restaurant as it is delicious, authentic, and quite inexpensive. Anyways, have a peaceful night and continue to stay healthy and happy cooking!
