Simple homemade tacos tonight, refried beans are less brolific than broiled corn, and they put rice in their burritos.

Pretty much the same stuff as a tell taco, ground beef, shredding, shredded cheddar, hot sauce.

Tried out chi-chi's salsa Verde, like it a lot better then herdez.

Also bought a mini bottle of Melinda's green sauce. I wasn't sure spinach would work in a hot sauce but it is delicious.

We previously did burritos and I thought elective stoves sucked, but hitting the meat with a little bit more spice got the job done. Also used an everglades spice blend, worked pretty good. Work continues on the new home but our stuff still hasn't shown up. A delay for cross country moves is not out of the ordinary but I am deeply sick of the clothing from my suitcase.

Cape Cod Potato Chips with sea salt.  Crunchy and salty.  They are pretty good.  I guess they're called "crisps" over there.  Sometimes I like salty snacks in the late afternoon.  They are terrible for one's diet, but I don't indulge often.

Maybe I'll have a salad for dinner as penance.

This bothers me too. Rice has no place in a burrito.

I actually prefer rice with chicken burritos but beef or steak must have refried beans

Since I got back from the Caribbean I'm mainly eating wine. Tonight was a beautiful, crisp Gavi washed down with some pasta.

I have a glass or two every night.  Usually before bed while I'm watching television.  The amount is usually less than 250 ml.  When I was in the UK, that was how much they served in a glass. 

We had frozen homemade soup for dinner with some olive bread, taking care to heat it up first.  That was the level of energy we had left after spending the greater part of the day unpacking a pod.

Turkey sandwich on rye bread with dijon mustard and garden tomatoes.
A couple of cornichons on the side because I love vinegar.

This is one of those overcast days when I think I should go get a cup of coffee.

Once again apologies for mobile posting, were mostly unpacked but no issues yet. Choices are xfinity or verizon, so poo or expensive poo.

Tacos have become my truest friend. Aunt isn't one for grocery shopping and mom has never been one for patience. Helen wiped out flour tortillas if you can believe it. Corn tastes better but good luck folding it.

I have a bin I've been collecting the split tortillas In, been thinking homemade nachos.

We're in the crosshairs of tropical storm Milton, so that's fun. Lost some shed siding to Helene but that's nothing compared to the loss of life and home some people are dealing with.

So, tacos.

I hope you guys don't get run over by Milton.  Stay safe.

We did. At aunt's
 Had to dig a moat.

Power outage ate ice cream like Jurassic Park.

Is mom's bd. golly.

Raisin toast, the refuge of people too tired to make anything else.  And the usual tea.

I got some bagels at the Amish market.

It's nice. The liquor store across the street was less impressive.

Back to scones and tea.  Can't complain.  Although I miss my ancient gas stove.  The new one is too efficient.  I'm used to the high heat and pilot light of the old one.  The newfangled one uses electric pilots and has a fan going to keep it cool.  The scones come out ok, but seem drier than the ones I made in the old stove.

DOH!
My husband just came in with the new coffee I bought and showed me that I'd gotten regular French roast instead of decaf.  He can't deal with the caffeine so I really goofed.  Guess I'll take the unopened bag back to the store and see if I can swap it out.

I'm drinking the regular tea.  Time to heat up the scones.

Tacos. Stove vent fan fell off it's axle. That sound is now glued in my memory

I had fish chowder, with haddock, for dinner.  It was pretty good.
