Resort dining - fried chicken supper with mashed potatoes and Swiss chard. Very yummy but I didn’t want to drink anything as we had a 90 Minute drive home. Great chicken that I can’t fry, but I still taste the salt even after multiple glasses of ice water and then a delicious slice of Japanese crepe cake (Dom Ansel style) that I bought at a korean grocer. Great cake that I’ll rebuy.

we drove north of SF to a resort about 90 minutes away as friends were staying there and there’s a nice guest policy. Very fun. I had a decent nap in a chaise lounge by the pool.

My wife said she was going to make me dinner. An hour goes by. Two hours go by. I think she forgot. Then she comes in with a first ever, fabulous potato Au Gratin with broccoli. So delicious.

It makes ZERO ice cubes, spheres or any other geometric shape unless I carry the tray to the sink and fill it with water which I am capable of doing. Ice makers take up too much room and always break. Plus I have had 2 different friends have a water leak from the tubes and it caused a ton of damage...needed new floors and total house dry out etc.
Grilled avocados make amazing guacamole which would fit very nicely in your taco tuesday menu (I am ignoring the safeway).

agreed and it’s more a lack of time to make fresh guacamole for supper. Mostly I need convenience in my life. I’m extremely honest. I basically started the cooking / prep (and pico de Gallo) at 4:45 and we started to eat at 5:40. It’s easier to buy their guacamole for $5.99 than to risk paying $5 for 2 avocado that might not have the perfect level of ripeness. I’m still learning from what bensyd had suggested.

also our former fridge both had water dispenser and ice cube making, and we definitely never had a leaking issue. We also have cement floors so a leak is less inconvenient.
