Refried beans started from dry beans. Chicken is leftover rotisserie chicken. Headed to the tienda for a ripe avocado without waiting for days. Cost per person $4.40 without the chicken it would have been $3 and vegetarian. Margarita not included. That’s $1.80.
I made a bean masher for making refried beans. Cherry and walnut scraps were used and it was given 5 coats of food grade finish.
And you can’t really see much but I made the cutting boards this was served on. But that was ages ago. The bean masher is new.
Food grade tung oil or butcher block oil. I normally do what you do but this one was going to have some heat exposure and I needed to smooth every bit of that head so it didn’t collect bean bits and make cleaning a pain.
Didn’t know that they made food grade tung oil, I’ll have to check it out!
