It's the little things...

It's weird that sometimes the smallest of things will just make me so happy. Like when I have a headache and Katherine comes and gives me a hug and says I thought a hug might cheer you up. Or like last night when I attempted to make guacamole. Now living in Texas it's just assumed that you can make Mexican food. Like when they say bring some beans to the pot luck they mean refried not baked beans. Or that tamales don't just come in cans. At work they'll ask me to bring Mexican type stuff and I'll tell them, are you sure you want me to do that. I will bring ingredients, but as far as getting an authentic taste... hmmm me? don't think so. Well last night I attempted authentic guacamole. It turned out great! I can add that to my list of Mexican foods I can prepare. In the past I took some avocados,sour cream and salsa and mixed them up voila! Well now I know how to do it the right way. You take avocados, lime juice, jalapenos, onion, cilantro, tomato and salt and mix them together. I did manage to get a nasty burn on my hands from the jalapeno. My skin does not like the oil, next time I'll wear rubber gloves. But oh did it taste good. Danny and I had that for dinner, just guacamole and tortilla chips. I think it's the first vegetarian meal my husband has ever had. Anyway... the guacamole success will keep me on cloud nine for at least the rest of the week.
