Hot Tamales!
Mar. 24th, 2014 10:07 amWe had a really nice weekend. Saturday we went for a nice walk with Nora through the woods to the cemetery down the road. Looked at stones. Saw a rather amusing one with the two clinking cocktails on it. Saw another that we're pretty sure is a lesbian couple. Then it got windy and Nora really really hates the wind and I can't say I was too enamored of it either as it turned "pleasantly brisk" into "really cold."
We roasted a turkey breast for dinner. It was good and we'll be having turkey sandwiches tonight and possibly some left for lunches, though Nora's not enamored of any sorts of meats other than steak. I also set some "boneless country pork ribs" whatever they are in the slow cooker with an onion, garlic, and some dried chilis and let it go for 10 or so hours.
That became the filling for Sunday's dinner, which was an enormous batch of home made tamales. I was surprised at how easy it was, though I wasn't the one stuffing them. Janna's great at that and I conned her into it. They came out incredibly good and I ate enough to be feeling like I should have eaten a little less.
Other than that, we didn't get up to a whole lot. Did a dump run on Sunday.
I have no idea if it will pan out, but the house we came so close to getting three years ago has been on the market and I asked about it. It's apparently under contract, but they sound like it's kind of questionable whether it's going to go through. We'd have to float a bridge loan as she doesn't want to rent, but the structural collapse issue is fixed and the interior has been painted. We're in a better place and so's the house. We'll see. If it happens, it happens, but we irregularly look at property and honestly, I haven't seen anything I like nearly as much.
