Welcome to Super Bowl Sunday. As hard as it is to believe, we aren’t spending today glued to the TV. Not even the commercials have drawn us in. Today Hubby and I are spending the day holding hands and enjoying the fresh air. This is better than any Super Bowl party in my book.

Let’s Fry the Bread
More years ago than I care to admit, Hubby and I took a research vacation through Wyoming and Montana. I was interested in learning first-hand about the Indian Wars that raged through the Plain States at the end of the Civil War.

Here it is, the first Tuesday of the New Year. Wow, 2025. I hope this year goes by quickly. Not that I have anything against this brand new year, but I’m anxious to get to 2026. More on that later – much, much later.
Continue reading “Welcome to Tuesday”More Than Just Guacamole Day
Today is National Guacamole Day. My guys will put Guacamole on their nachos or enchiladas or burritos or a hundred and one other Mexican dishes, but will not eat an avocado. I adore avocados. So I don’t get it.

Here we are at a Wild Card Wednesday. Gotta love Wednesdays, when anything goes. So why not Mexican Oven Fried Chicken? My guys loved this. Great for finger foods, game night, or a less than traditional Taco Tuesday.

Oh me oh my – is it really nearly the end of October? It’s been one very crazy month – just an extension of one very upside down year. The farm sits empty now. No animals, no orchards and no family. It breaks my heart on so many levels.

Today is National Liqueur Day. It’s been a while since we’ve celebrated Liqueur Day together. Last time around, we made Amaretto together, and then created a beautiful Amaretto Crème Brûlée.

Growing up, my Dad made the best tacos on the planet. He had a secret ingredient that has long since disappeared – Chorizo. My mother’s sister would send a tin of Chorizo from Spain every few months. I’ve tried over the years to find this same sausage, but no luck.
Continue reading “Yes More Tacos Please”Gorditas Round Two
Hey there, do you remember my first attempt at Gorditas? The taste was there, but the Gorditas were too thin to puff up properly and create those much needed pockets for filling. So here we go again – same number of Gorditas created from even more dough.
Continue reading “Gorditas Round Two”One Terrific Taco Tuesday
What’s this – yet another Taco Tuesday? You bet! If there is one thing oh so popular in our house, it’s the Mexican staple – the taco. It’s a good thing I love to cook for my family. Most of what I make is so much better than anything we can get in a restaurant. The only reason to eat out is that someone else does the dishes.
Continue reading “One Terrific Taco Tuesday”Not Your TV Dinner
When the first TV Dinners débuted on the food scene in 1953 it was a way to get rid of surplus turkeys. While convenient in the sense that all the little woman need do is warm it in the oven, these frozen tin trays could take upwards of an hour to cook.

Would you believe the one in the middle isn’t the middle child. Nope, that would be the sister to the left. The one to the right is the youngest of this group. And the one in the middle is the first born.
Continue reading “Middle Child and Garage Sales”It’s a Tuesday Alright!
Tuesdays in general mean just one thing in my house – and that’s something wonderful with a Mexican influence. Be it Taco Tuesday or Spicy Lasagna, just bring on those Mexican flavors all the way. Today is also National Cheesecake Day.
Continue reading “It’s a Tuesday Alright!”Drive Thru Tequila Day
Every year on the 24th day of July, I cannot help but to chuckle. Two National Days come together. Drive Thru Day and Tequila Day. Not exactly the most prudent of combination.
Continue reading “Drive Thru Tequila Day”Live and Learn
Hubby and I like to visit “Little Mexico” a few times a year, usually in the spring and early fall. The rest of the time it’s either too blistering hot or too wet to visit this huge flea market just south-west of us. We call it Little Mexico because it’s a lot like visiting Mexico.
