Y'know, eff it, this isn't a diary exactly, but it's a place to record things, right? Right.
The hubs has been asking for what we are calling American Tacos. Do other people call them that? Or maybe Gringo Tacos? I dunno, probably. I've been making so-called street tacos for the past few years but he said he missed the way I used to make them, from a taco kit, with lettuce and tomato and shredded cheddar and taco sauce. Double layer, hard taco encased by a soft taco, with a layer of refried beans in between. So that's what I made Monday with ground beef. And y'know, I still prefer a more minimalistic street taco but gotta admit, these were pretty good.
Tuesday, I did battle with an iceberg and I won. It was a huge chunk that had broken off of the snowcrete wall next to my car, it had broken off and actually rolled over into the active road way, causing a hazard. So I spent some time chopping at it and finally got it broken up enough to be able to move the individual pieces out of the way. Then for Suze week I made a Clandestine cocktail. It was very tasty. I don't remember anything about it though, just that I liked it.
Last night I made another from the Eras Pour book. It's from the Folklore chapter, inspired by Betty and is called "Only Seventeen" which has NOTHING to do with that Winger song. This book is now three for three. Everything I've made has been spectacular. This one drank like a sweeter and slightly floral Old Fashioned. Monkey Shoulder scotch as the base, St Germain and demerara syrup to sweeten a bit, spritz of lemon on top.
Tonight I'll make the last designated cocktail for Suze week. Except, oops, I don't have basil OR cucumber. Hrm. Maybe I will save it for Sunday night, after we do our grocery shopping. We will see!
