madbakerWe visited my dad yesterday. He asked to go to a local Mexican restaurant that he had visited many times with his deceased girlfriend. I wasn't expecting much, but the important thing was his wishes.
I was very pleasantly surprised by their chile relleno. The batter was light, eggy, and fluffy; good amount of cheese stuffed in the pepper; and fresh out of the fryer. Honestly, the best chile relleno I've had in quite some time. The only thing that would have improved it is more heat - using a poblano pepper, perhaps. It was quite mild.
The lemon cheesecake with raspberry topping turned out quite well (we've pretty much got that recipe dialed in) and I promised to visit again in a couple months. I haven't been as good at that as I should be, especially since he's only an hour away.
Today I made yogurt rough-puff biscuits with homemade jam, and later today there will be boozy eggnog and finishing off our gourmet chocolate advent calendar.
