One Cold Sunday in January

I guess by some standards it isn't that cold but for us So Cal residents 25 degrees is considered cold especially on the high desert where once you factor in the wind chill factor it turns out to be a very chilly day.
We decided to relax for the day and stay close to home. A perfect day to make some homemade salsa and enchiladas. So off to the store I went to get a few supplies. I literally had to drag myself past the free puppies at the door to the market and once I did I found myself in the middle of shopping madness. I think everyone in our small town was in the store buying snacks and supplies for the playoff game that was scheduled to air at noon. The supply of fresh tomatoes was dissipating before my eyes so I elbowed my way into the display and grabbed myself about 6 decent roma tomatoes (this is exciting post material, isn't it). I hurried through the rest of the store being careful not to harm anyone in my path, found a decent checkout lane and as I was making my way out of the store, proud of my accomplishment of getting out in under 30 minutes, I realized I forgot the ice. Oh well, we'll do without it this time around.
I pulled into our yard, grabbed all of the groceries and Todd snapped a picture of me for today's post. I figured it was a good way to introduce our Jeep "Ruby" too, she is probably the funnest member of our family.
While we were waiting for the game to start I made a delicious, but HOT, salsa with some fresh chili peppers that we brought back from Sante Fe New Mexico. I made a quick call to my brother-in-law Tim to get his recipe for the salsa then I added a little of my own twist to it as well. He makes the best salsa and yes he is the same one that makes the best ribs as well.
Now it was time to put together the ingredients for homemade chicken enchiladas. The chicken will marinate in the green chili/tomatillo sauce until we are ready to assemble the enchiladas. Oh boy are they going to be good. I'll try to remember to take a picture of the finished product that is unless I get to excited about eating them first. Oh BTW, free homemade enchiladas if you become a follower of my blog.*
Todd spent some time, and a whole lot of energy, working the wood pile and bringing us a hefty supply into the house to keep us warm for a few days. Whoo Hooo
Time to watch the game now, I picked NY to win. Have a great day.
