The drink is just called vodka and Diet Coke.

Well heck. I had a look at that recipe and assumed that you had posted it expecting it to be panned.
You're wrong about that. I wasn't expecting that anybody say anything about the
recipe. It's a standard American style recipe from the days when I was a kid.
People didn't handle ethnic cooking very well. I haven't forgotten what 60's
recipes in America was like. rfc must be going senile.
That is most definitely NOT a standard American style recipe from the days when anyone was kid. No one ever wrote a recipe like that except for your wife's 'auntie.'
A few ingredients are listed but then reading the instructions we find out
we actually need ground beef, tortillas, onions, cheese etc. All of those should have been written out along with the taco seasoning mix, green chilies,
etc. before moving along to the instructions. What the can of beef consomm|-
is for I suspect to cook the beef in, but no clue.

The recipes are certainly in that style. My mom had a bunch of those books. They
were popular when I was growing up. They are kind of goofy and written in an abbreviated style.

Why did you post it then?
I don't post here so people can give their personal opinion on food, things, other
people, etc. So you think a recipe is stupid - big deal. People should have a
knowledge of the history of food in this country - from my friend's recipe of
Velveeta stuffed enchilada, to RVD's old time Irish enchilada, to our modern day
American enchilada.
In the end, most Mexicans will probably think it's all gringo slop. Americans will
probably think this recipe is just peachy but you don't want to know what the
Mexicans think of it.
My guess is that you have no idea what an enchilada is so your real question should
be why do you even go on about it? Of course, you have no clue about why you do the
things you do. That's a shame.
I have no opinion about the recipe. I didn't read it. But you post
something here, people comment on it and you're offended. That's
weird. Don't post it if you can't handle people's opinions about it.

That's not totally accurate. The worthless sissy also eats this shit

I think he's actually jealous. He's whipped. Years ago,
his wife told him, *No pussy for meat mouths.*
The self righteous shit is the way he retains any self respect.
As to why he hangs out on a

I don't much do "quick". Scrambled eggs or quesadilla is
my idea of a quick meal. Or pull together a sandwich from
the contents of the meat and cheese drawer. Plus condiments
and accessories like pickled hot peppers, pickled cucumbers,
chipotle in adobo. And lettuce, etc. from the produce drawer.
Maybe vinegar and olive oil. Or lime juice and mayo. (Reminds
me I need to get a lime; I used up the one I had.)

if we have leftovers or something else pre-made like

through the week we generally don't cook every day and
we also don't have a grill. cooking on a grill is not

Harvard Classics Five Foot Shelf of Books which happens to

very nice, i'd not looked it up to see what a full set sells
for (no idea if they get that price or not):
of course the volume that is missing is one that i would like

never know, the way some idiots are these days, they like to

Gas grill. 10 minutes of preheat, during which I can do
other things. For skinless, boneless chicken breast,
somewhere between 4 and 6 minutes of cooking, depending
on the thickness of the meat, the amount of wind blowing
across the grill, and the ambient temperature.

How low or how high for that 10 minutes?
