Whoopsie

I kind of accidentally learned how to make chiles en nogada last week. 

I know. How do you accidentally learn how to make anything, let alone chiles en nogada?!

Well, it started with a deal made who knows how long ago between my boss and a teammate, who weren't my boss or teammate at the time, in which the teammate promised the boss chiles rellenos. This was followed by what must have been at least several years of ribbing for not delivering on the promise. 

Fast forward to last year, when I found out that one of the reasons there had been no chiles rellenos was because Teammate needed a place to make them. Which I mentioned the next time ribbing was happening.

And so, this year, during the training seminar, there was an offer of a place and so the chiles rellenos were going to happen.

The place ended up being mine (which is fine--it was only for the cooking, not for the eating) and the chiles rellenos were switched to chiles en nogada (they are more fancy), and long story short, I now know 3 ways to roast chiles, how to make en nogada, that pomegranate seeds do not last very long, and it's a good thing because I have roughly 4 pounds of meat filling in my freezer, so all that info will come in handy. 

Just goes to show, accidents happen.
