Made my favorite dish tonight. Mussels in white wine and garlic broth. Love sopping up the broth with baguette.

Made some barbacoa for the first time ever. After eight hours in the cooker, it came out prefect. Served it with guacamole, Mexican rice, beans, and pico de gallo, on warm corn tortillas.

It looks spicy, but the green chiles and red crushed poblano peppers added a lot of flavor. I don't mind spicy, but I wanted my kids to be able to eat it. They enjoyed it very much. I gave baby the arrachera I had. It was only a pound (that stuff is so pricy), so it was perfect for her.
 
I'm fasting for blood work this morning (going to be leaving to get that done in an hour), but oddly, I've recently been wanting to try Wendy's, Burger King and McDonald's value sandwiches. Already had the first two, and today I'll be getting some McChickens and double cheese burgers and a large fry. I know that fast food probably isn't a great topic for here, but between it being cold and having fasted for at least 12 hours by the time I get my blood taken, I'm not willing to make something from scratch.

Also going to be having a Midwestern dairy delacy tomorrow: Superman ice cream, a Midwestern standard with no standard (it's blue, yellow and red colored ice cream of different flavors--I think Meijer's is vanilla, black cherry and blue moon--another Midwestern thing that I think tastes like vanilla marshmallows or just marshmallows).

And on the beverage front, I'm glad for my cheap, nifty coffee French press. Even regular Maxwell House ground coffee (medium roast is what I have) tastes pretty good and has a smokey aftertaste I like, though I have it with imitation sugar, various creams (Italian sweet cream, hazelnut, regular cream, I haven't tried milk yet and I wish I could still find Irish cream somewhere around here).
