Tonight was one of those clean-out-the-leftovers, throw-together-something dinners. I had corn tortillas, portobello mushrooms, and spinach. Enchiladas would have been the obvious choice for dinner, but I am too lazy to actually make enchiladas. (I have reached a level of lazy beyond slackass. The only thing lazier would have been having dinner delivered, and actually this might still have been lazier because I didn't have cash, and searching through my jacket pockets and under the sofa cushions for money would have been more effort.)
Anyway...I did chop an onion to start, (and I did it without losing blood. This may have been my first onion chop since the stitches.) and diced up the mushrooms. Then I threw them and the spinach into a pan with some olive oil and let the liquid cook down. I finally learned this lesson from lots of watery lasagnas: cook the spinach!
Then I constructed dinner just like a lasagna: layer of enchilada sauce, layer of tortilla, layer of vegetables, some cheese. Repeat until everything is used up. Bake until hot.
It was actually pretty good, although the picture I took looks straight out of the Gallery of Regrettable Food.
Uh oh. He's added new stuff. I'm being sucked into the Lileks zone...if I'm not back in a week, send a search party.
