Carne Asada is Not a Crime

Date & Time: September 25, 2008 6:30pm
Main Course: The crime might be we didn’t have Carne Asada only ground beef tacos. What can I say I browned one pound of ground beef in the skillet. Then I added ¾ cup of water and the packet of Taco Seasoning from Aldi and simmered for 5 or ten minutes. This is the kids favorite and is clearly shown with Noah eating two tacos plus extra meat and lettuce with chips.
Sides:
Tortilla chips and salsa (we mixed the medium and hot salsa from the week before into one bowl since they were basically the same thing); taco sauce (it’s not a taco without taco sauce although I don’t’ think I had any…); black beans with chorizo; Sour cream; cheese not sure what kind but it was yellow and preshredded; homemade Jalapeño hot sauce (preflood peppers); soft flour tortillas; crispy taco shells; and diced tomatoes from the store, Wyatt shared this week.

Beverage / Libation:
Some sort of large bottle of Livingston wine and a couple Sam Adams October Fest beers.
Desert:
Market day cookies that Noah wouldn’t eat because they were spicy. As it turns out they did have a mild and unusual black pepper aftertaste/burn in the throat. Nothing that would prevent me form eating them but Noah took only one bite. More for me I guess.
Guests:
Tom and the lovely Sue.
Misc.:
With a part from Tom I installed a new aquastat on the flooded hot water boiler. Unfortunately this did not solve the problem and I need another part for safe operation. Let’s hope we don’t get an early frost… Carne Asada is Not a Crime is a trade mark of saveourtacotrucks.org

Cheers,
NATE
