mexican breakfast
with orange churro, horchata milkshake, arroz con leche

Now this was a lot of fun. We chose Mexican desserts to do a breakfast trio:

donut - orange churro

cereal - horchata milkshake with cinnamon toast crunch crumbs

rice pudding - arroz con leche

Bite into the hot churro, take a sip of the cold milkshake, and temper your palate with the rice pudding. Or dunk your churro in the milkshake as a dip. Or pour the milkshake over the rice pudding as a sauce. A very playful dish.

carne asada fries / lomo saltado
skirt steak, kennebec french fries, peppers

Carne asada fries sure feels like it was a recent phenomenon, but it’s basically the same as lomo saltado, which is a much older South American dish. Go to a good South American joint and order some of the stuff; you’ll find that the original just shits on any carne asada fries you’ve ever had.

For this I used kennebec potatoes for the fries, skirt steak for the beef, and a pan sauce made from soy sauce and a bit of sugar. Super minimal and very addictive.
