I had a near critical-failure while making enchiladas tonight. Not as epic as the time that Justin managed to explode the glass baking dish INTO the saucepan of filling by setting it on top of a heated burner, but still pretty bad.
First, we were out of black beans. No biggie, whatever. Kidney beans are OK. But after I added the diced tomatoes, something seemed off. It took me a second to realize that not a single diced tomato had come out of the can I had just emptied into the pan... all that it had contained was tomato JUICE.
So we opened another can... and it was the same damn thing! This can, however, contained ONE PIECE of diced tomato within the juice, as if to proclaim that it was indeed true to its name.
[Hay guys, it says diced tomatOES not diced TOMATO!]
We shook a few cans until we found one that sounded like it ACTUALLY had tomatoes in it, then added that one.
Turns out that one of the flats of Muir Glen Organic Diced Tomatoes we bought at Costco on Saturday is... ah... defective.
Dammit, I don't want to drive all the way back there for fail-free tomatoes!
But if we did go back I could get more mexi-coke. Mmmmm.
As if I need more in addition to the FIVE CASES of it sitting in the garage right now.
Why do we have Mexican Coca-Cola? Read the wedding blog to find out.
Just in case that wasn't enough edible non-sequitur for you, here is some more food porn from when we were making a delicious pasta dish with prosciutto, kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, and celery:

Nope, we live in an awesome 4-plex. Houses in our neighborhood are outrageously expensive. We'll figure something out after Justin graduates.
