Holy Guacamole!

For Cinco de Mayo I went to a Greek bar with my friend Rachael.  Last year we met up at an Irish Pub.  It's our tradition.  I'll have to think about where we'll go next year.


So while we didn't get into the spirit of Cinco De Mayo, everyone else around me seemed to.  So much so, that by yesterday afternoon I had a serious hankering for a taco and guac.  I was thinking about stopping at Chipotle on the way home but then remembered that I am trying to save moola.  I also remembered that in my freezer I had...


Fishless fish! 

All thanks to my coupon-clipping last week.  So I picked up some wine and tortillas and skedaddled home to attempt cooking fishless fish tacos with guacamole.  And do you know what?

They didn't turn out half bad!  Bobaloo even said that he enjoyed them.  So, I consider my twice-a-year-cooking-adventure a success.

¡Buen Trabajo Jillito!

Granny Jill

Yesterday I got really, really excited about my newest purchase.


Today I had to get some work done.


After work I am going here:


instead of here:



Who am I?
What is happening to me?





*Don't worry.  I fully intend to get into childish shenanigans this weekend.

32


Life Lately.

This month I turned 32.  I celebrated by having happy hour with Bobaloo and some lovely friends and then enjoyed some veggie fajitas at On the Border.

Since I last visited here, life has brought losses of loved ones.


But in the spirit of spring; life has also brought babies, weddings, visits, vacations, celebrations, good friends, health, and all sorts of other good stuff.


Renewal & Regrowth.

Bobaloo's sunflowers have started sprouting over the weekend.  We also have been lucky to have some springtime hootenannies on the patio. 


Nik needed to get her eye removed a week ago.  She recovered well and is back to being as mischievous as ever.


What's new with you?
