this thread is for accountability
(and, perhaps, bookmarking)

I am always looking at recipes and thinking that if I "like" them on FB or <3 them on twitter or stick them on pinterest I will somehow remember to go back and make them.  And then mostly I don't.  So this thread is for all those things we REALLY REALLY want to remember to try and are afraid we will forget.

I keep wanting to make homemade ravioli, and I never do. I had some venison ravioli not long ago, and it was soooooo good. My brother already got a deer so I know I have some venison heading my way. I WILL make ravioli with some of it!

Lord... I'll have to post a few of the gazillion NY Times recipes I've saved in my online recipe box.  Lately I've been thinking about Yorkshire pudding.

I have so many recipes saved - I doubt I will ever get through them.  And I keep finding more.

If you include "scared to try," then tamales. 

One of these days.

Ah yeah, me too.  I would love to make them, but I hear it's a big PITA/undertaking.

Maybe we just need a good tamale lady.

I really just want a friend that makes tamales. I also need one that makes fried chicken and eggplant parm (two other dishes I can't be bothered to ever make but love to eat).

We always need a good tamale lady!   :)

Honestly, I just want to be invited over to one of the tamale making gatherings.  I really need to make that happen...

We were talking about tamales earlier in this thread....  Some other foodie friends and I were talking and we've decided to find someone to do a tamale making class for us next Christmas. 

Four or Five of us, 40 or 50 bucks apiece and we provide the home and ingredients... I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier!

Good thought!  I've always kind of thought the lean toward the Mediterranean type fillings was the big difference.  Everybody does their masa different so I have no idea if it's supposed to have a different taste.

I knooooow! We had this amazing cauliflower & manchego soup while skiing the other day and I was actually looking for a recipe for that when I came across those hand pies. I would probably make them like empenadas though. Anyway-- not really healthy so on the "some day" list. :)

hallacas are my favorite - the local "mexican" restaurant makes them, and they are delicious.

pipian sauce

http://www.mexicoinmykitchen.com/2016/04/pipian-rojo-recipe-creamy-red-sauce.html

Can somebody please go to the municipal market and ask one of the ladies to send me a ball of pipian paste?  There's no way I'm going to assemble all those ingredients from scratch, but I really want to try the sauce.  Thanks!
