I had special visitors for a week. We had some excellent meals out and in. The Chicken Tinga with red rice and refried black beans was big hit.
Then I did some traveling. Had a long ferry ride with 2 inedible meals, but now in Mazatlan.
Had excellent beef tacos last night and have been eating street food today - stuffed breads, candied peanuts, coconut cake.
Went to the Mazatlan market today and I've never seen anything like it. Whole cows laid on counters for the butcher, beautiful chickens, vegetables and fruits. Unfortunately no kitchen right now, but back to cooking tomorrow.
Hope everyone is well.

(35,801 posts)I figured you were traveling but then when you wrote about it above, I recall you saying you were having guests soon. Turns out it was both!
The chicken tinga meal sounds terrific and I'm not surprised to hear they loved it.
The RG has been doing the cooking here. Last night was 2 different kinds of pork stews and today he made my favorite meal: chicken francese. Rosemary potatoes and fennel-apple salad.
All this in addition to knocking off the painting of the kitchen for me. Let's just say I'm a bit slow when it comes to stuff like that. I did the priming, though, and also painted the ceiling.
Next up is to call in an electrician for another round of lighting installation

(24,146 posts)i worked seven hours on my day off and then had way too much fun at a friend's house, so i needed grease and salt. i had hash browns smothered with sausage gravy, an english muffin, a double order of bacon and entirely too much coffee.
i am so lucky to have a husband who will forego beer for several hours just to pick my drunk self up and take me out for a gut bomb.
