de Mexican Italiano

Phewww...... finally we made it last night... having Quesadillas i mean, hehe!
It was rather a slow process in the preparation as one of our Kitchen Assistants was not well, but still it was fun and most importantly good.

I don't know, sometimes, what to title the post. Just like today, what is that "de Mexican Italiano?" Maybe the Quesadillas is Mexican and the tomato soup (from the ingredients) I thought it's more Italian. However, honestly I don't know.

So here what we have, and hopefully the pictures will be up soon!

1. Quesadillas
(tortillas, tomato, red and green chili, chinese celery and/or parsley, white or preferably brown button mushroom, salt, black pepper, oregano, lemon)

From Kitchen Runaway

2. Tomato Soup
(canned diced-tomato, white button mushroom, fresh basil, salt, oregano, black pepper, red cooking wine or red wine) 

From Kitchen Runaway

3. Lemon Grass Cooler
(lemon grass, lemon, lemon rind, rock sugar, fresh mint leaves, ice)


The Quesadillas was really good and we still had one left - sure you can put them in the freezer and just heat up your pan when you are hungry or just feel like having snack. It's good actually to keep some.

The tomato soup was not bad, but somehow I felt there was something wrong with the black pepper powder. It's weird, but worry not we are not going to see that particular bottle on my spices rack anymore. We couldn't find the red cooking wine from the supermarket nearby, so I used red wine instead and it helped saving the taste.

And.... the lemon grass drink was soooo light and refreshing. It was really nice with the hint of the lemon, and oh I missed out something, after boiling and let it diffuse in low heat, I added some fresh mint leaves. Just to get a hint of it. Served it cold... mmmmm...
