I asked how often they ever suggested more sodium for their patients and they said "uhm, well.....almost never". After increasing the sodium, not only does my food taste better, but the nighttime leg cramps have gone away.

I usually tend to overeat Mexican at restaurants too. Just love it too much.

oops its starting to oxidize so I wrapped them. I prepped an hour ago because I didnt actually know their eta and these are potential future inlaws.
If you're talking about the guac oxidizing, try adding more citric juice (lemon/lime/orange). Another way to prevent this is to put some cling wrap literally on the surface of the guac as soon as you're done (although this only slows the process). This is why they suggest not making it until the guests arrive or shortly before (and in small batches)

grazie - I just hadnt been aware of when theyd arrive. It worked out - they knew I had made this today and the oxy wasnt too awful. I got good compliments for both the pure avocado and the guacamole (with cilantro / jalapeo). Of course, lime juice in both.

The other mom was very thankful for us having sour cream because I guess the pico de Gallo was even spicier than expected lol

i really should have cut my burrito in half before eating it. Omg.

LOL, at least they did recommend adding sodium!

I don't usually make guac as i tend not to have guests over (everyone's busy so not as much time to cook so we go out to restaurants...at least in the before times)... but I occasionally make nachos to snack on while working (especially when I know I'm going to be sitting on a conference call for a few hours)... layered chips/cheese topped with meat if I have time to brown it. Salsa/sour cream on the side... lately though, I've been making my own dipping "tray" and warming pitas as time permits. The dips are getting a workout...

I only started to make guacamole at home in 2020 thanks to this thread, so it’ll probably be 24 years before it becomes boring for me. I live an extremely simple and simple-minded lifestyle.

I thought your child was a pre-teen, kind of young for a prearranged marriage?

erics chinese, San Francisco ca - carryout

veggie egg rolls
onion pancakes (deep fried)

white rice
shanghai chicken with Green flakes like Bonito
Veggie moo shoo with pancake and hoisin sauce
mongolian beef
beijing noodle soup

Ill have nice leftovers for this week except when I have luncheon with my bestie. Ill have to go to Safeway to buy bok choy & cabbage to offset these leftovers. I can reheat the Mongolian beef with tofu to make a pseudo version of beef with bean cake, a dish Ive enjoyed from Chinese restaurants for decades albeit without the brown bean sauce


also made pancakes for my childs supper. Im now convinced that Ive never cooked pancakes until today. Im not exactly sure!

So, you are trying to arrange a marriage for your child based on their seats in some venues?

I still have one unmarried son. I can always hope the dowry includes 50 yard line seats.
