Why don't you just order through Amazon and have it delivered as WF is one of their brands.

My wife has been supporting a Filipina friend who lost her restaurant due to Covid-19. She cooks from home and sells the meals. Tuesday, she ordered Kare' Kare' and a separate order of Beef w/Onions that she wanted me to try. I do like some Filipino foods especially the way they make Spaghetti with a sweet Meat Sauce that actually contains pieces of hot dogs as well, but this was so salty, I could not eat it. She then tried it, and said the same, but would not call her friend to let her know. We wasted some money that we don't really have as to me it's inedible.

Always bring it to their attention, otherwise how can they fix it? No need to be mean, just say it was too salty. Personally, I’d mix in some bottled sauce that wasn’t salty to “even” the salt level out.
I’ve run into problems with my wife’s cooking with similar things. You don’t want go criticize, but you don’t want them to waste their effort on something that’s not right.

You'd be surprised to find how easy it is to make enchiladas!

Very...a bit messy IMO but certainly easy to whip up a baking dish full. The problem might be that there is no point in making one or 2 enchiladas and everyone in the gao household has something different for dinner....so he would have to make them in individual portions.

He could make a bunch and freeze them.

I don’t have a preference because I never have ever chosen to order enchiladas at any restaurant. I love Mexican and Central American food. In geberal, baked tortilla dishes and baked Italian pasta dishes aren’t a huge joy; I’ll gladly eat lasagne and moussaka and enchiladas when they’re served to me. I used to order different dishes at restaurants.

So you didn't have the enchiladas listed above? What did you have--just the ice cream part? :eek:
And I don't recall you ever mentioning your wife cooking...was the recipe for her or for you to make?

I ate the enchiladas and they’re delicious and I will either cook them if they’re bought at Trader Joe’s, or I’ll just cook something we have :-)
I’m uninterested in cooking enchiladas, unless it becomes a request.
