禁じられた遊び

Lately, I've stopped baking because money is tighter than ever, and eggs with rice can make one meal. So my cooking has been limited, only making a quesadilla here, a sandwich there.

While searching for jobs this afternoon, I came up with the idea of using the chocolate bar I got (Lindt 85%, just over $2 at Walmart) with the tortillas we have stocked in the kitchen. I also wanted to add some cinnamon for spice. I looked up recipes and thought this one was closest to what I was thinking.

At dinnertime, I was ready to experiment.

I dusted a sheet of wax paper with cinnamon, then put the butter in the pan before melting it at a low heat. The pan must be coated with the butter. Then I placed the tortilla in the pan. These are really cheap flour tortillas, so I had to let them warm in the pan a few seconds more than usual, or else they break.
Then I break the chocolate onto the tortilla. It's warm around the pan, so I have to do this fast.

This is the best picture I could get of my chocolate-stained hands:


Cook as if you were cooking a quesadilla. Place the finished product on the wax paper and let the cinnamon coat it, flipping if necessary.



Experiment with the heating levels and amount or type of butter/coating substance.

On the way to Walmart yesterday, I saw that the sunflowers were growing again!


Also, I have a work assignment next week, staffing this event.
