My little toy grill has been getting a workout lately.

I have never seen that before HCF looks really good. Always have loved Autumn and the apple season. Cider, Fritters. apple dumplings and pies my late mother was so good at baking especially dumplings and pie. I was never smart enough to get a recipe from her. Now its just a memory.

We don't have it anymore but we have a grill much like that one and it was the perfect grill to make flank steak on. I'd get the coals very hot, and the grate every close to the coals, pull the flank steak out of the vacuum marinator and immediately sear both sides, then let it grill with the thinner part of the steak over the weakest looking coals. 3 minutes on each side, marinade seared into the meat, a 5-minute rest, and it was good to go. Cut it on a steep 35-degree bias across the grain and it was amazing! My wife, if she wanted, could take slices and toss them back on for 10-15 seconds longer if she wanted the meat more cooked.

My mouth is watering typing this!!

Ground beef enchiladas in corn torts, with a scratch sauce made from ancho and guajillo chiles, onion and garlic... all covered with a mix of cheddar, monterey jack, asadero, and quesadilla cheese

Side salad with garden tomato

They're still baking so we'll see, but just wanna say that yeah... enchiladas are a lot of work, especially if you want a big pan full

Between the heavy prep of seeding and boiling the dried chiles, blending those together before straining them... THEN light frying 18 torts to make them pliable, and finally rolling them all up for baking is a LOT of work

Get ready to spend some time, and wash your dishes as you go lest you end up with an ugly sink piled full of dishes you don't wanna deal with the next day when making them

All that work will taste delicious. But yeah sounds like a full shift.

Savor the flavor bud. Real chiles are unrivaled in flavor.
