Food blog maybe?

So maybe I'll turn this into a food blog?
It is already called pan de dulce....

I've been working on some mexican recipes from my childhood that my grandma would make.
So far I've whipped up:

Gorditas - They're on their way to getting made right, I still need to figure out just how dry they need to be before cooking. They were just right stuffed with cheese and I need to make bigger ones if I'm going to keep on doing the mushed with butter and salt thing.

Nopalitos with beef - Next time I need to use pork. Also I need to cut the nopalito pieces smaller so that the tangy-too-green taste can cook out of them better without over-doing the outside. Also....I need to not burn my onions or garlic. >.<

Carne Guisada - The first day I worked on the batch I did not cook it in the right order or long enough. I need to add the flour after I cook/saute the meat thoroughly. Also less flour. Then cook it for at least 40 minutes after the tomato sauce and seasonings are added. Also no tobasco sauce - it didn't work, maybe instead chile peccin (I don't know how to spell it). Waiting a day to finish cooking it was too long to wait. It already needs so long to stew, why draw it out longer?

and Roasted Corn - I need to not leave the apartment and forget I have corn roasting in the oven. Even if I did remember just in time and the corn came out just right...I need to not be a dumbass in the first place.

On the soon to make list (along with the practice of the above):

Fideo
Frijoles Rancheros (not sure if it's 'Rancheros' or not...I think it might be something else but I can't remember, it's basically beans stewed with bacon, onions, cilantro, tomato, and chile (not chili))
Oatmeal like my grandma would make it (need raisins)
And others that I can't think of just yet.


Oh also....I want my ice cream maker to come in from Texas. I'm getting really upset with my friend for not mailing it to me. I want to make good ice cream sooo badly.
