This was ridiculously good. I’m starting to think that Laural is a genius when it comes to sauces. I also think she should post the chipotle enchilada sauce that she made the other night. It ruled my ass (in a good way).

I don’t know- ‘ruled my ass’ sounds like it doesn’t really have a good ending. What’s in the enchiladas? I tried to make some but Matt seemed to be fairly uninterested in them so I ended up eating them for days. . .

Hey Laural – great site! We made the kung pau veggies last night and they were deliciously yummy!

I’m new to cooking with Leeks – do I cut the bulb into large chunks or small slivers (creating round slices)? Also should I use any of the leafy area?
