Mom had a hair appointment for last Wednesday night, so she put me in charge of the encharitos. (Enchiladas made with flour tortillas and pinto beans. Mmm.) Delighted, I donned my apron, put all the ingredients for encharito assemblage on the butcher block, and went to town. The meal was a success, and I was giddy the whole night with my domestic success.

Taking the Reins
I've spent my whole life watching my Mom. I watch her many tricks and talents at work in the kitchen; I watch her make careful grocery lists and I go the Sam's Club and King Soopers with her and watch her play the coupon game. I'm watching and learning for when I'm the boss, and last week, I had the chance to put my years of apprenticeship to the test.

You're welcome.
You should be giddy with your domestic success! And your mom is the perfect role model to watch.
I love that you like doing domestic things! And I love that you blogged about it, too. And of course, I love that I could leave you in charge of dinner with no worries!
Your Mom (and everyone else) is lucky to have you apprenticing! From what I know, you;re well on your way!
And it sounds as if you are lucky to have sisterly help!!
I just love it that I enjoy cooking and baking. Linda Giler and I are always saying if the retail doesn't kick in, we could always have a jewelry and bake shop! I may need some real apprentice help!
