Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas
Description
Because of Covid, there is a lot of cabinet cleanout going on in our house, and I stumbled across a can of Green Chile Enchilada sauce I had purchased in the past for another kitchen challenge (that never happened). And Russ discovered a lot of rotisserie chicken in our freezer, and urged me to find some recipes to use it up. SO... welcome to my creation!
1 can Green Chile Enchilada sauce (I used Old El Paso)
*(Or use 1/3-1/2 package of taco seasoning)
Directions
Place 1/4 cup chicken broth to your skillet (you may need more; you want the meat to be moist, so the spices will stick to it, but not wet), add shredded chicken and sprinkle with cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne and stir well to coat all chicken pieces (the chicken will be a light red color when it is all stirred together). Once that is completed, take a tortilla, add a strip of cream cheese and a handful of shredded cheddar in the middle. Add a heaping spoon of shredded chicken and roll up, placing seam side down in a greased baking dish. After tortillas are rolled up and placed in baking dish, stir together the sour cream and enchilada sauce and pour over the enchiladas, taking a spatula and separating the enchiladas so the sauce flows down between the enchiladas. Sprinkle with remaining shredded cheese and bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes until heated through. Let stand for 5 minutes and serve with some Mexican rice and refried beans, if you desire!

Teeling Small Batch Irish Whiskey
Description
Produced by the Teeling Whiskey Company after the Teelings departure from Cooley, the company they started, comes an ambitious small-batch blend. At 46% without chill-filtration, it's an excellent statement of intent. The blend is said to contain a high proportion of first-fill bourbon cask whiskey and a higher-than-normal ratio of malt to grain. From Teeling: This Whiskey challenges the convention of what an Irish Whiskey can be, with layers of unique flavour influenced by unconventional cask maturation techniques. Hand-selected casks of grain and malt whiskey are initially fully aged in Ex-Bourbon barrels, then married together in Central American Rum casks for up to 12 months for a unique, dried fruit profile.
Nose: Cut grass and orange blossom, allspice, hints of vanilla, apple and blackberries
Taste: Spiced, rich palate with lemon, pear, honey, vanilla and dried mixed herbs, a touch of clove and cinnamon
Finish: Medium herbal finish with a light spice, vanilla and caramel
Price: $35 (750ml)
Rating: 92

W. L. Weller Special Reserve
Description
The Original Wheated Bourbon Whiskey features an exceptionally smooth taste, substituting wheat for rye grain. Bottled at 90 proof, this bourbon stands out with its burnt orange color. Its softer flavor notes make this bourbon great for sipping or making cocktails.
Tasting Notes
A sweet nose with a presence of caramel. Tasting notes of honey, butterscotch, and a soft woodiness. It's smooth, delicate and calm. Features a smooth finish with a sweet honeysuckle flair.

Shepherd's Pie
Description
On Pi Day, we had our annual St. Pats/Pi Day party. SO, we had all Irish/Pie related items (Pasties, Shepherds Pie, mini caramel apple pies, mini apple pies, mini Irish Cream pies, etc). Because we serve food all night, buffet style, I had to modify the Shepherd's pie to work in a slow cooker. Russ, and several others, gave it 2 thumbs up!
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, diced
1 12-16oz package of frozen pea/carrots
1 can sliced mushrooms
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon Worchestershire Sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
Sprinkle of dried thyme
Sprinkle of dried Rosemary
1 can cream of mushroom soup
Mashed potatoes to cover top
Shredded cheddar (optional)
Directions
Brown ground beef, adding onion to soften; drain. Place all ingredients in slow cooker, stir well. Cook on low for 3-4 hours. In the last hour, add the mashed potatoes to the top (as a crust), and place cheese on top of the potatoes (if you like).

Aberlour 12 Speyside Single Malt
Description
All our single malts are made with the best local ingredients of barley and soft water from nearby mountain, Ben Rinnes. Our expertly crafted new spirit is usually matured for a minimum of 12 years both in the finest hand-picked Oloroso Sherry butts and American Oak barrels. It’s this double cask maturation which subtly brings together the characteristics of each cask to create a truly rich and rewardingly complex range of single malts. The 12 year-old expression is a fine example of how the distinctively crisp, citrus character of Aberlour's new distillate is deftly softened by double cask maturation, as the mellowed spirits within are combined to deliver a subtly balanced flavour.
Details
Mashbill: 100% malted barley
ABV: 40% (80 Proof)
Region: Aberlour, Strathspey, Scotland
Color: Golden amber with a hint of mahogany
Nose: Walnut, red apple, butter, raisin, toasted oak
Finish: Warm and slightly bitter with a hint of raisins, sherry, honey, chocolate and clove
Price: $45 (750ml)
Rating: 86
