Ook: Yeah, 5 buck sucks. Little Caesars is much better for the cheap stuff. If you want really nice pizza, though, check out Brick Oven down in Provo. Monday nights they give you free (unlimited) home-made rootbeer. Their pizza is excellent, but the rootbeer alone is worth going for. I will say, however, that they're on the pricier side of things.
Renoard: An anaheim or pasilla wouldn't have had any kick worth mentioning, and would also have lack the distinctive smokey chipotle flavour, both of which contributed to how delicious the chimichangas were.
Tonight, for Mother's Day, we made Thai food for Ari's mom (& guests). On the menu:
Spicy lamb satay with peanut sauce & (fresh) hot cucumber relish
Chicken coconut soup
Sweet prawns with egg & cucumber.
The satay was absolutely delicious, and the peanut sauce wasn't half-bad, though the satay had so much flavour as to make it unnecessary. The soup's an old standard, and good (except I forgot to add the chilies early on, so it came out a bit flat), and the prawns were much better than I anticipated. I'll definitely be making them again.
We made crème brulée for my mother, and I think Ari added a little too much vanilla extract (we decided to take the cheap route this time and not use a bean), but it was still good. I improved by torch technique significantly, though I initially under-burned the sugar.
