The recipe is called Chilaquiles but around our house it’s pronounced as noted above. It’s from the very excellent Quick Vegetarian Pleasures by Jeanne Lemlin. It won the James Beard Cookbook of the Year Award and boy! does it deserve it. We cook out of it at least three times a week.

DNark Hangs It Up
I just caught this story at Gazettenet.com about Ward 4 City Council David Narkewicz (freakin’ sub. req’d.) not re-upping for his position this year.

Today I think the best cheapest eat is the 3-courses for 20 [...]

A City Speaks
I just received the Mayor’s latest E-mail newsletter. (I highly recommend receiving it. She doesn’t send out too many, hasn’t sold my address to any spammers…yet – could be something to consider as the city steels itself for a $6 million budget deficit, and includes some interesting information in it.
