Dinner Tonight: Baked Chicken With Yogurt and Chile Paste

Corn flour is what you use to make tortillas and enchiladas. It's typically sold under the Maseca brand, but others are available. It's also known as masa harina.

I used Lan Chi chili paste with Garlic. It tasted great.

I'm not crazy about the recipe though. It was messy to eat. Try as I might, I couldn't get the coating to be anything but a sloppy mess without overcooking the chicken. It may have been something I did wrong. I used greek style yogurt because that's what I had. Maybe it was too high in fat. I believe that it might be better with deboned chicken that you can eat with a knife and fork. The taste was great though.

Does Anyone Really Love Pumpkin Pie?

Funny, I'm a fan of pumpkin pie, but stand firmly in the apple pie tolerators' camp. I've never had an apple pie that I truly liked. I'm not going to turn it down if that's the only kind of pie, but I'd much rather have pumpkin, cherry (even with the canned filling), caramel banana, pecan, key lime, etc. I love all kinds of pie, but apple is at the bottom.

cornflour is how the British refer to cornstarch, not Mexican masa harina

Does Anyone Really Love Pumpkin Pie?

I only wish pumpkin pie was popular all year round. I have this theory that people born in the autumn are more likely pumpkin pie lovers - my son and I are scorpios devoted to it, whereas my spring-born wife can take or leave it.. Anyway, if you want to attack something, go after that awful concoction called eggnog!

Does Anyone Really Love Pumpkin Pie?

I hate pumpkin pie, it is one of only three foods (cantaloupe and ketchup are the other two) that I can't even stand to smell, much less eat. Ick.

Does Anyone Really Love Pumpkin Pie?

I love pumpkin pie -- must be *canned* pumpkin (Libby's!) and home-made crust. Moderate dollop of whipped cream.

Cannot however stand pumpkin pie made w/ real pumpkin.

Go figure.

Does Anyone Really Love Pumpkin Pie?

For those of you (Ed) who like pumpkin-whatever-else (ice cream, cheesecake, bread etc.): Is it the custardy texture of the pie you don't like?

I love pimpkin pie so much that as a kid I used to ask for it as my birthday cake, thus ensuring that I would get it at least twice a year.

Does Anyone Really Love Pumpkin Pie?

It has to be a pie made with fresh pumpkin, or to clarify, not pumpkin from the can. I always thought I didn't like pumpkin pie until I had a slice that my best friend made with pumpkins he had grown himself. It was soooo good. The next year we bought a locally grown pumpkin and made our own pie with it. Again, it was soooo good. Never again will we use the can to make pumpkin pie.

Does Anyone Really Love Pumpkin Pie?

I love pumpkin pie..and I love key lime pie. But just like I would not be up for pumpkin pie in July - I wouldn't be up for key lime in November. My pie tastes have seasons attached!!! Except for warm peach pie. I could eat that year round with ice cream on top. YUM!

I do not love pumpkin pie but do like pumpkin ice cream--which in terms of flavor is not so different from pumpkin pie, but in terms of taste blows pumpkin pie away, oddly enough.
