See Dick Cook ;)

See Dick cook,
Dick can cook.
It was delicious!
Talk about feeling like such a needy person and then to top it off the husband is doing double time.  Barn, housework, laundry, cooking and waiting on me.  Today he took me for a hair appointment and then on to Wellsville for groceries.  Although it was a pleasure for me it required work for him, hauling a wheelchair in and out of the car, groceries and then on load me and everything.  Yes, I am feeling guilty.  It was funny at 9:30 as we were getting ready to leave the house.  I said, "it's 9:30 and the breakfast dishes aren't done and the bed isn't made".  Two things that I never left without having done, bed and dishes.  Times have changed and I am not the Queen of my castle, at least for 7 more weeks.  It bothers me a little but nothing like I had thought.  Let's just hope I can keep this mental attitude.  Like dieting, good until a certain breaking point then I can't eat enough sugar.

Here's Saturday night supper.  How lucky I have a husband willing to try his hand at cooking rather than takeouts.  We have never been much on restaurants but have our favorites, Red and Trudy's, Pizza King in Wellsville and the Corner Cafe in Ulysses.  Tonight Dick wanted to make Beef Taquitos with refried beans and Mexican Rice, so let's do it!  I sat at the table and did some prep work while he cooked.  Everything went great.  The taquitos were filled with beef Dick had done in the pressure cooker a few days ago.  Added some cumin, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder to it and rolled the beef in corn tortillas and fried them.  We like to dip the taquitos in chopped avocado, garlic, salt, pepper and lemon or lime juice mixed together.  Success, we were quite satisfied and full.  Probably by now you have figured out we like Mexican meals.  Authentic is the best for us, not a lot of cheese and sauces, more fresh salsas.  Tomatilla is my favorite which is made from the little green tomatilla, it looks like a green tomato with a paper shell.

I promise tomorrow is leek butter day and a delicious leek cheese spread recipe.  I know I said Saturday but things aren't going according to plans like they use to around here.  No complaints, it's all good.  Remember what ever you have and can, "Pass it On" for others to enjoy

  3. I love Mexican too! I was hoping to have a big "Tres de Mayo" party since cinco is on a Monday, but will be so busy getting Sam ready for the prom. Have you ever made tamales? They are so much fun to make. I have started using parchment paper to wrap them since corn husks are hard to find around here. ~Sabina
