Halloween is a time for random kindness

Halloween is a time for all children

Oddly enough, one of my fondness memories of my childhood was the random kindness shown by neighbors and strangers at Halloween to me as a child. I remember when all of us children ran from home to home looking for treats and finding many treasures and a few ‘tradable items’ that we intended to pass off to someone else. Chocolate and anything even remotely related was viewed with great acclaim with smiles, screams of laughter and smiles from ear to ear!

We had more trick or treaters this year, so we’ll just have to get more chocolate next year!

BTW, Happy Halloween, Joe. I remember your kindness to me all those many years ago. I know you are in a good place.

What you may not know:
Evan Coyne Maloney Heroic Documentary Film MakerFor those of you who haven’t heard about what’s happenin’ on college campuses today…let’s just say … it’s not all good.

Evan Coyne Maloney has produced a fascinating film — entitled ” Indoctrinate U.” – on what might be called ‘political correctness’ on college campuses.

One review:

“The Weekly Standard” said, “The documentary combines relatively shocking footage (one professor excitedly tells the camera “whiteness is a form of racial oppression . . . treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity”) with snappy editing to create a documentary that bounces quickly from subject to subject.”

Upcoming screenings of the film can be found on their site!

Is this Warren Baker President of Cal Poly?On one hand, on many campuses there exists a hyper-sensitivity to sexually displaying a banana on a campus, ‘hurting’ or ‘offending’ someone’s feelings…. whereas displaying our American Flag could become grounds for suspension some places. The inmates are running the asylum.

So, what has this to do with me? Yep, I — also — appear in the film. For 7 years, my wife — the professor — struggled for existence with Cal Poly State University at San Luis Obispo … and succeeded. And what happened to — in my humble opinion — the “bad guys?”... they eventually all received big raises and promotions.

If you get a chance… check it out. If it hadn’t happened to me… I’d be laughing.

Chimichangas are el magnifico

chimichangas

Chimichangas are generally the most expensive item on the menu of your local Mexican food restaurant. The reason is very simple, it is the extra beef and the preparation time.

Chimi’s were developed in and around Tucson, Arizona in the 1920’s as part of what many refer to as a blend of cultural tastes or ‘fusion’ cooking. Call it Tex-Mex or Tucson-Sonora Cooking, it tastes just as wonderful!
Here’s one fun way to make chimichangas. If you make them yourself, you may never buy another.

Here’s our recipe!

Rogelio's secret of the Chimichanga is safe with you? Yes?

enjoy,

Want to cook for Fun try a Chimichanga!

Rogelio's el magnifico chimichanga

What good is a great deep fryer if you can’t use it to make something truly wonderful?

There are many excellent stories about the invention of Chimichangas in Southern Arizona around the early 1920’s. What started out as an overstuffed burrito that then was deep fried has evolved to a wide variety of very special meals with all the trimmings!

Rogelio ( pronounced ‘Ro-hel-lio’) has put aside his Boston Baked Bread  to prepare ‘el magnifico chimichangas’… and pictures will follow. This is my project for today.
In the meantime…. Margarita’s anyone?
