isn't it nice to be home again

YES....

Two longer-than-they-should-have-been days on the road and one hotel-room with horrible fluorescent lighting later, here I am.  We'll be going out for lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant, where I resolve to eat the guacamole with a spoon, get a glass of white wine instead of a margarita, and probably order the carne asada, though they have great carnitas, chicken and fish dishes too.  Mexican food doesn't HAVE to include a lot of carbs!  :-D

    1. oh, YEAH.... :-) I'm happy to report that I was PRETTY good at Las Palmas yesterday -- only one glass of chardonnay, guacamole (with a fork), carne asada with peppers and a few of the onions, the cheese that was melted over the beans ... and a shot of Kahlua because they didn't have coffee for afters! At least I was "perfect" at suppertime (seared scallops, Boursin-stuffed mushrooms and decaf)!

      hope you have a lovely Easter!

  5. If only I could resist those chips! (better than I USED to be, when I could & DID clean out an entire basket)

    1. there's no doubt that those chips are seductive! if you fear you will cave in and eat them, you might do what my daughter does, and take some pork rinds to the restaurant with you (or ask the server if they offer chicharrones) -- they're great with queso, salsa, or guacamole.
