Wow, I had quite a streak of 3-day weekends lately.\u00a0 Now they are over though…\u00a0 Back to the real schedule for a while.\u00a0 In retrospect I should have moved my day off from last Friday to today so at least I’d have a short week to buffer things.\u00a0 Oh well, hind sight.<\/p>\n
We actually didn’t do much over the weekend so the best I can come up with is an exhaustive list of what I had for dinner last week.\u00a0 Exhaustive and<\/strong> boring, all right here in one posting.\u00a0 We went out every single night though;\u00a0 Maybe that’s why I sort of shut down Saturday & Sunday.\u00a0 Monday night we went over to our neighbor Brooke’s house.\u00a0 She cooked up some homemade chorizo sausage for tacos.\u00a0 We were quite excited about this.\u00a0 Not only did I not know you could make your own chorizo, it’s not even that hard.\u00a0 We buy it quite a bit at the store, but have always found the ingredient list a bit “unsettling,” shall we say.\u00a0 So, just mix it up yourself at home and you’re a little clearer about what’s going in your gullet.\u00a0 So tasty was it, as a matter of fact, we had her over for dinner the next night.\u00a0 We made some stuffed peppers<\/a> with the left-over chorizo, which came out well.<\/p>\n Wednesday we went across the street to Bill & Trish’s house for corned beef & cabbage.\u00a0 Little early in the season perhaps, but I like that meal a lot so the “standard date” isn’t too important.\u00a0 Thursday we actually took things out of the neighborhood, and met some friends down at the Flying Saucer<\/a> for happy hour.\u00a0 We hung out there for a few hours, but when they went to the UMKC game we scurried back to our circle of safety.\u00a0 Our plan was to have dinner at 75th Street<\/a>, but that got derailed when we showed up and they had no water.\u00a0 They were unphased by my perfectly logical train of thought that I didn’t want water, I wanted dinner.\u00a0 We ended up just crossing the street to Chipotle and going home.<\/p>\n
