Yum Yum Time!

11.5.2kXII

Since I don't live in a "walking" city and compounding that with working at home (and seldom leaving it), a lot of the inspirational experiences I've embellished and written about here don't really happen anymore.  Oh well.

So when I don't have a "hookers at the front door" or a stolen man hole cover collection to rant about, I'm gonna post a recipe.  And I'm gonna try to make them not yr reposted type.

Here's one I just made up myself that I call:

Orange Surprise

Ingredients

1 small pumpkin; roasted, peeled and diced
1 small yellow onion; diced
chopped garlic
1 half chub Mexican chorizo
1 cup prepared Mexican rice

This dish was born of leftovers; the pumpkin being a leftover Jack-0-lantern, the small onion used to be a medium onion, but it was cut in half and half of it was used; the first half of the chub was used in an egg dish and finally, the rice was part of the usual big batch we make damn-near every week.

Directions

Fry up the chorizo.  Add the onion and cook for a few minutes, then add the garlic.  After another minute or so, add the pumpkin.  Let that heat up for a few minutes and then stir in the rice.  When that's heated up, dish it out.

I put several drops of habanero sauce and a lot of ground black pepper on mine.

Notes

It's called Orange Surprise not because it has oranges in it, but because the pumpkin, chorizo and Mexican rice are all orange and make it a nice orange color; and Surprise because it was surprisingly fuckin' awesome.
Also, I'm going to try roaste acorn squash next.  Then I'm going to try butternut squash.  I'll let ya know.
