Homemade Mexican!

Saturdays always inspire me to cook!
Today, I shelled a bunch of red beans, and then inspiration took over!

I wonder if I have to soak fresh beans like I do dry beans?
hmm.  

I made homemade corn tortillas, stuffed them with cheese and green chiles,
topped it off with some homemade enchilada sauce, 
and served them to my "gringo" husband!
YUM!



Plums!

It's been far too long since I wrote here.  The only excuse I have, (and the answer to most anything these days), is "PLUMS"!

  Our back yard is yielding a great harvest!  Our plum tree is (was!) full!

 We picked them...


Soaked (cleaned) them...

And made... Plum Crisp!


And Plum JAM!


YUM!!


Our new puppy, "Selah", thought I went mad!


She was absolutely no help!


Now... we're on to BEANS!  (red beans to be exact!)


closeup!  hmmm... tacos, anyone?


This week, we got a 3 month membership to a gym and a pool...
the grandkids are going to love it!
baby pool and play area...


Swimming laps!  YAY!


and finally... at nite, it's learning the new Nepali worship songs...
