(no subject)

The newest issue of whatever that cooking magazine is called has a recipe for a chicken "enchilada" that more resembles lasagna Mexican style. (You layer tortillas, meat/bean/sauce mixture, and cheese a few times.) I've made "tuna tacos" before and that has worked ok, so I tried substituting tuna for the chicken and otherwise following the recipe.

In general it was fairly tasty, but the tuna didn't quite work with the enchilada sauce and salsa. I wonder which would work better, using fake meat or just leaving out the meat and maybe adding some other vegetable into the mix. (It wouldn't really be Mexican without the cheese, I suspect, so leaving *that* out isn't an option.)

recommendation needed

The sys admin/owner of my shell provider has been having a rough time with some recent upgrades and stuff, and I feel like I've asked him more than my fair share of questions even though I was trying to stay out of the way. So I asked:

By the way, what is your non-hardware vice of choice? Chocolate? Cookies? Booze?

His response was "chocolate rum cookies" (nothing like hitting all the categories :-) ). So I'm in search of a recipe that (1) is tasty and (2) will ship well. I'll also consider purveyors of same, especially if they'll figure out how to pack perishables for shipping.

Any suggestions?
