Recipe Here.
I followed the recipe (minus scallions which make Logan gouge his eyeballs out. Baby.), except I added refried beans as Bluesqwerl recommended on my weekly menu plan. Thank you, yes, you were right. I also cooked the bean mixture extra long to make sure all the alcohol from the beer had burned off. If I can't have a glass of beer without being 'irresponsible', the kids certainly aren't getting some.
Logan: "Thank God you didn't put scallions in this. I am a picky little baby and yet I am often incredulous at the picky eating habits of our children." (I know! This is a totally accurate direct quote.) He seemed to like it but I don't know, he didn't seem as happy with this dish as he has been with others.
Madison: Madison would like you to know how much she hates this experiment and how much she wishes we could eat pasta with butter every single night for the rest of our lives together.
Max: Was surprisingly resistant to this dish. He did eat about 5 un-provoked bites but it was definitely not a hit.
Melissa: Hey! I loved it. Loved it. I would like to birth several wee tortilla pot pies. I love it. If: family hates or is mildly fond of. Then: Melissa will love.
I am cursed.
That recipe looks really good -- I was thinking, hey, Ms. Picky (my 5-year-old) likes tortillas and beans...and then I got to the cheese. She doesn't eat cheese. CHEESE.
I'm looking forward to more of your recipes -- I already made the cold sesame noodles, and they were delicious. I was the only one who liked them, but they were delicious nonetheless.

Maddie doesn't like most cheese either, she'll eat grilled cheese though. She likes pizza sauce but not marinara sauce. WHAT THE HELL?
I make the cold sesame noodles for myself too. I make them Monday and then eat them for lunch all week and dinner on the nights Logan's not home for dinner.

I LOVE cold sesame noodles but unfortunately am the only one in my house as well. What is with that??

Alton Brown said on Iron Chef this week that you can never fully cook off alcohol.

No wonder the kids were so loopy after dinner.
I'm kidding! It cooks off a lot and my kids ate about 1/2 of one bite. I on the other hand at about half the pan and didn't even get a buzz.
Damn it.

Logan couldn't find a boneless one so he got one with a bone and carved it before we cooked it.
