pin real life / 1

i am lacking in pin-follow-through.

lotta of pinning going on, not a lot of doing.

so many projects, and beautiful pictures, and recipes.

have i cooked a single one?

i'm 1 for 45. 

[rachael ray's mexican chicken lime soup.

i was lazy and didn't de-seed the chipotles, and it was so so spicy. 

i drained the chicken from the broth and put it into cheese quesadillas (redundant?) with sour cream, avocado & plenty of fresh lime juice and it was delicious. the perfect amount of warm-your-whole body heat.

Russ approved! (pickiest eater alive.)] holy digression...

we already know i love it, but do you?
