Burritos and Daiquiris

Oh, boy, was dinner good last night.  I got into one of my baking moods and made up a batch of Honey Cinnamon Bars that Jim likes so much.  Then I baked a carrot cake for dessert.  Terri and I decided we would have burritos and green chili for dinner. I cooked up some homemade pinto beans for refried beans, and Terri made her great green chili with the last of her roasted chiles from last year’s crop. Since Rich likes potato burritos, we fried up some potatoes and onions.  What a feast!!!  Everything homemade and fresh….wonderful!!!

I used my new Ninja Master Prep Professional to process the pinto beans for refried beans.  It took all of 6 seconds flat to mash up those beans with the Ninja!  I like my Ninja!!!

Before dinner I made Terri and I fresh strawberry daiquiris with the Ninja.  Those double stacked blades in the blenders sure made short work of chewing up the ice to make a tasty frozen daiquiri.  I like my Ninja!!

Today we go to Creede to get our company truck from storage and pick up the large AGM batteries for the composting restrooms.  Time to start thinking about “going back to work”.  Need to prepare the campground wells for testing, then next week we’ll clean the restrooms, and rake the sites in preparation for opening May 20th.

We need a camphost for one of our campgrounds at Tucker Ponds, elevation of 9,300 feet. It’s a small campground with 12 sites. If any of our blog readers would like to get paid to stay in the mountains for the summer, on a site overlooking two rainbow trout full ponds - let me know.  Our email is chappy81101@yahoo.com

Snow in May

Yes, we had snow in bunches here in South Fork, Colorado!!! There has been very little snow in these mountains this last winter, so any snow even in May is welcomed.

                     

We got about 6 inches in twelve hours.  Definitely a “stay inside” kind of day.

I got my Ninja Master Prep Professional yesterday as a gift from my BFF, Lory, as a very early birthday gift.  Boy, was I surprised. I knew she ordered it for me with her Kohl’s account, but didn’t know it would be a gift.  Thanks again, Lory! You are the best. Can’t wait to make my energy smoothie.

Lory and I met in Del Norte at a newly discovered health food and gift shop/cafe called Organic Peddler and Peace of Art Cafe.  We had a wonderful late breakfast of Huevos Ranchero with black beans, brown rice piled on top of two wheat tortillas, smothered in meatless green chili with lettuce, tomato and avocado.  Oh, it was wonderful!!!

We had a good conversation, great coffee and meal…what could be better?

Later in the day Jim made a GREAT enchilada dinner with Mexican rice thanks to Rice-A-Roni….it was so tasty!  And a strange occurrence took place….Jim washed all the dishes!  That’s a first in 30 years of marriage…hmmmm????

Snow is all cleared off this morning and looks like it is going to be a beautiful, blue sky day.  Think I will bake today.  What are you going to do with your day?

Remember, you are loved.
