Special thanks to my friend Jimmy Shaw, whose Loteria Grill sometimes serves churros with an extraordinarily good chocolate dipping sauce, for inspiring me today.

A big nod to Maureen Abood whose directions I followed for the chocolate. Get her recipe here. As for the churros, what I made was really not… I made a quick tart dough (with and egg yolk), cut it into strips, brushed with the egg white, sprinkled it with cinnamon and sugar before baking. So we’ll call them “churrettes”.

The action shot s hard to get and we really just wanted to get down to slurping (no, we were quite lady-like; I should say sipping) our chocolate!  A big “I love you!” to Sally for being my partner in crime!

I do know that I have neglected this blog the last few weeks. My big brother called me the other day to make sure I was alright; I better get back to it. It’s not that I haven’t been cooking! I have, and I’ve taken lots of photos. I will do a blog soon and catch up. A lot of it has been simple but good, and I came up with some neat stuff. Stay tuned!
