I had a dream that Jennifer and I were the two finalists in a cooking show. For the final competition we were supposed to make chicken burritos.
We were each given a medium sized glass mixing bowl, a large plastic spoon, and a sharp knife. There was a machine that would dispense a new ingredient to us every few minutes that we needed to use in our burritos.
Here are the ingredients that we were given:
2 oreo cookies with no cream
2 oreo cookies with cream
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup cafe rio tomatillo dressing
1 cup cooked chicken
1 cup pinto beans
1 baby blanket (optionally sterilized in a microwave)
2 full sized blankets
4 warm tortillas
I chopped the first two oreo cookies very finely so they would add a bit of sweetness to my burritos but not add crunch. But I decided that I did not want to add the other two oreos because I was afraid that would make the burritos too sweet.
I opted to sterilize my baby blanket and I used it to keep the tortillas warm, but I couldn't figure out what to do with the other two blankets. I glanced over at Jen and could see that she was using them for something but I couldn't make out how they were being used.
My real stroke of brilliance was when I decided to use the oreo cream to glue the folded tortillas together on my burritos. It would give me extra points for presentation.
When we were finished, Jen's burritos were judged first. The judges commented that they looked nice, but her tortillas were not staying folded. I smiled to myself knowingly.
When they took a bite they commented that her burritos were nice and warm but that they tasted too sweet. Probably she had used all four oreos. I outwardly grinned.
I was confident that my burritos would win, but I was still nervous about the blanket factor. Was there something that I had overlooked?
At this point my alarm went off and I woke up. I will never know what the blankets were for or if my burritos won.
