My Pismo had been acting strangely for a few days. Perhaps I had installed and removed one too many questionable software utilities and something important was just plain screwed up. Anyway… I decided to reinstall Panther from scratch. I backed everything up and did a “Format and Install” then I restored from the backup. Just to make sure everything was really back, I went through and spot checked things. In the process, I rediscovered my archive of the now defunct Emazing Food Newsletter. The recipe here was the last one I got from them.

Grilled vegetable quesadilla
Sometimes I can prepare a dish that kills two birds with one stone. For example, these full-flavored snacks make a great party appetizer for adults or a fun meal for kids. Serves 2-4.
Ingredients:
- 4 large Flour tortillas
- 1 Green bell pepper, cut into strips
- 1 Zucchini, sliced
- 1 medium Red onion, sliced
- 1 Portabella mushroom, sliced
- ¼ cup Olive oil
- 1 cup Pepper jack cheese
- Spray oil
- Salsa
- Guacamole
- Sour cream
Step 1: Toss the vegetables with the olive oil. Grill until soft.
Step 2: Place ½ of the cheese on two tortillas. Top with the vegetables, the rest of the cheese and finally the remaining tortillas.
Step 3: Heat a skillet. Spray with the oil and add one of the quesadillas. Cook, turning once, until the cheese has melted and the tortilla is a light brown. Repeat with the second quesadilla.
Step 4: Slice into pie-like slices. Serve warm with sides of salsa, guacamole and sour cream.
Step 5: Eat!
