I've always liked salt too, but a couple of years ago my cardiologist insisted I cut back, which I did. After my lab results a few months ago came in, I was very low, and they advised more sodium in my diet..
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.

our supper guests are bringing supper from La Corneta taqueria. I told them that Id make guacamole and pico de Gallo plus that I have Jarritos and topo Chico.
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)
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.

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.

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.

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!
yes and yes. Potential. They also have nice seats in some venues. Ultra nice. I cant even post pics anywhere.
