Foodie Friday: Enchiladas & Troyaritas

Memorial Weekend, around here, is traditionally when we celebrate my Birthday. . . works out perfectly with that extra day tacked on for recovery.  I really don't need to go into detail, do I?  This weekend will be no exception and is turning into one of the more organized, and larger, parties to date.

Since moving to Southeast Kansas, we also take in the Chautauqua Blues Festival in Sedan, KS on Sunday and it really makes for a fun-filled, music-motivated, and memorable time.  Good Friends - Good Food - Good Fun.  That's what Memorial Weekend is all about!

In honor of celebrating, I thought I'd share a Texmex kind of meal - including the infamous Troyarita.  This ought to keep your celebration going hot-hot-hot!

Since you will want to stay well-hydrated while making Choose-Your-Meat-Enchiladas, we'll start with. . .

Return to Flower Power and Playing Hookie

Hey!  Didja miss me yesterday?  I took the day off because. . . . it was my Birthday!!!  I'm back with you again today - no worries:-)  Yes, I had the most loveliest of days, thanks for asking! 

It was a gorgeous day so we spent most of it outside around the patio table in the shade of the umbrella.  I had both kiddos here and Hubster cooked a delicious chicken and shrimp alfredo.  And my presents?  AWESOME - of course!  Can't wait 'til next year.



What I really want to show you are the flower beds!

Monday's Musings. . .

So what have I been up to since sharing my list of 'things to do' on Friday?  Well. . . the usual - cooking, cleaning, eating, gardening. . . and waiting for my J-girl daughter to come home to celebrate my Birthday!

I did attempt to find candles for my giant candle holder/ vases.  No go, yet, but I won't give up.  But while out searching, I found a beautiful frame for J-boy's golf photo, a cool little blue-green ceramic bird,

So Many Things - So Little Time!

Every day I wake up and try to decide what to do first?  What should be on my list for the day.  I mean. . .besides the normal work-work in the office, and housework and the rest of the 'boring' stuff that fills a person's day.  But I mean stuff that truly needs to get done or you want to get done and would get done if you didn't have to get all those mundane things done every single day.

So what's on my list?

Buying some awesome giant pillar candles for my candle 'sticks.' Putting felt on the bottom of my giant ceramic fish and filling it with seashells.

Putting on the Dog - Tommy-style

Don't you love Facebook??

So last night I see that my favorite nephew-in-law (we'll call him Tommy) has posted a most tasty looking photo.  That photo prompted a very interesting and informative virtual kind of conversation.  Eleven comments and three likes. . . . Not bad.  Not bad at all.
