I was craving Mexican food. I didn't feel like cooking. In all honesty I was craving restaurant-stlye frijoles [refried beans]. I convinced Bud to get out of his chair and drop the cellphone, go shave, change clothes, and be ready for me to take "him" out to lunch! What convinced him to move was the promise of a margarita and a shaker of salt! We got there, ordered, and I was soon satisfied with my craving and then some! We both ordered the chille relleno *pronounced ree EN oh* [deep fried pablona pepper stuffed with cheese], a pork enchilada, served with refried beans and Mexican rice! While waiting for the meal to be served we snacked on warm corn chips and their famous [bottled at stores too] salsa as we sipped on our margaritas. I was full when our plates were licked clean, and waddled out of the diner to slowly make it to the book store behind the establishment. Just to walk off some of the food. We purposely parked the car some distance from where the bookstore is and the restaurant [a shady spot] to also get some fat burning steps in before we made our way home! Delicious!!
I'm in the process of making my family favorite salad. Potato salad. I plan on making enough to have it last the two of us for three days. Tonight, the menu will be just two courses, with dessert being the 3rd course. lol We'll have HLTs [ham, lettuce and tomato] sandwiches with the salad and then, strawberry short cake with angel food cake. And sugar free cool whip. Both of us actually like the no sugar best and we've tried them all!! So that works for the day.

I am gonna take out pork loin for tomorrow. Have BBQ pork and potato salad again. Little work involved for the weekend. Hope it will last a couple of days to finish off the leftovers with BBQ pulled pork sandwiches and tossed salad.
Since this post starts off with food, I want to share these pictures also. For it being 'out of season' for freshly grown strawberries, when I went to the Farmer's market Friday morning, they had 2 quarts of these lucious looking berries for $4! That's like buying one quart and getting the 2nd one free comparing the price of the supermarket!! Couldn't resist 'em, and got 'em home, cleaned and ready to serve! Did I mention how sweet they were?
I found a newly published book that I bought...BOOTH {the Booth family associated with Lincoln's assassination}. A favorite subject of mine.
