Leftover turkey? Make Chilaquiles
23 Nov 2007
Are you dreading the endless stream of turkey sandwiches you’re envisioning for the next weeks? If so, turn that leftover bird into something a bit more exciting. Last year we gave you a recipe for Turkey Enchiladas Suizas that wasn’t half bad, but this year I’ve got something even easier. Chilaquiles rojos con pollo are super easy to make and the the best part is that half of the work is already done: the “pollo” is your already cooked turkey leftovers. Check it out:
Jen’s Leftover Turkey Chilaquiles Rojos

3 cloves garlic
Salt to taste

Cilantro, a few sprigs
Leftover turkey (previously stripped from bones, then shredded or chopped)
Time’s Up for Chavez Hostage Talks

Colombia’s president Alvaro Uribe has officially pulled the plug on Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez’s mediation efforts with FARC rebels. Chavez was in the process of brokering the release of 45 hostages, including once Colombian presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt, in exchange for the release of 500 imprisoned guerrillas. Apparently, Chavez, never one to play by the rules, went against an order forbidding direct contact with Colombia’s army chief.
Castro to Chavez: You’ve got mail?

We’ve told you about love notes sent between Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro in the past, but what about not-so-nice letters? The Cuban government is denying that in 2005, Fidel wrote a letter to Chavez “inciting him to shoot” those who oppose him. The letter had some other interesting things to say, like the following line allegedly penned by Castro:
“You know Hugo, that to end Yankee imperialism we have to do things well; the Arabs are already ready, Lula is working in Brazil and you have encouraged the FARC…”
The Cuban ambassador in Bolivia denies that the letter was written by Castro and said “Any moderately intelligent person would read the first two lines of that letter and realize that Fidel Castro didn’t write it. That’s why I must say that it’s a clumsy and vile manipulation to try to pass off a letter as written by Fidel.”

Just when you thought at least one Pinochet would get what was coming to them, on Wednesday a Chilean Court threw out embezzlement indictments against the widow and four children of the late dictator, Gen. Augusto Pinochet. The charges were thrown out because Lucia Hiriart, nor any of his children, Lucia, Veronica, Jacqueline and Marco Antonio had ever been government employees.
