Day 12: Things I'll Never Forget About Lori

Her Delicious Chorizo & Potato Enchiladas!

Lori was of Mexican/American descent, and while she was a great cook all-around, her Mexican fare was superb... even when exceedingly simple.

She always complained that she had never mastered her family's famous Tamale recipe, but it was her Chorizo & Papas enchiladas that truly won my heart.

I can remember the very first time she made them for me, in the little apartment she shared with her brother on R. Street––back when we'd just started dating.

Those times were absolutely magical, and I can remember being so incredibly touched that this beautiful young woman wanted to make dinner for me... I wasn't at all let down when I dug into those amazing, sour cream drenched enchiladas.

I'm sorry now, that I don't have that recipe... it would do me a world of good to be able to cook some of those hot little beauties up when I need a bit comforting in the cold lonely winter that lies before me.

I Love You Lori!

This story gets better and better...

It's a good job your address isn't on this blog because otherwise you'd end up with a mountain of chorizo on your lawn from all of your friends, including your blogger supporters.
