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.

More sodium! Wow!

la corneta taqueria, Sf ca

chicken en roja burrito - omg did I really eat the lot?
tortilla chips
guacamole
pico de gallo
salsa

i can’t believe I ate the whole thing. Oops.

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

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 hadn’t been aware of when they’d arrive. It worked out - they knew I had made this today and the oxy wasn’t too awful. I got good compliments for both the “pure” avocado and the guacamole (with cilantro / jalapeño). 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'm making what is called "crack chicken" tonight.

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.

Where did you find a chicken pipe?

DIY. :D

I found something my mother liked without adding extra salt!!! Crack chicken for the win!

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

eric’s 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

I’ll have nice leftovers for this week except when I have luncheon with my bestie. I’ll 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 I’ve enjoyed from Chinese restaurants for decades albeit without the brown bean sauce


also made pancakes for my child’s supper. I’m now convinced that I’ve never cooked pancakes until today. I’m not exactly sure!

yes and yes. Potential. They also have nice seats in some venues. Ultra nice. I can’t even post pics anywhere.

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

:tu:

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