Thanks, DR Jeanne. Clergy meetings for Richard in Leesburg, VA. I’m just along to navigate and enjoy the fall foliage.

Surgery and recovery vibes to you!

I don't believe I've ever heard of a taquito, and I love Mexican food.

They're not "real" Mexican food...just a Mexican-inspired creation created here in the states...like so many other delicious foodstuffs.

"Taco Bell"

It is 28 years old and has provided good service

Wow! 28 years is a good long run for a washing machine. Mine is going on 13, and my car is over 21!

I am impressed with 13 years. Due to moves I have had to leave some behind. Ten might have been the longest we had a washer & dryer set. I really can't remember.

I'm hoping my car lasts until I pay off my mortgage, which should be in about 2 1/2 years.

Vibes it lasts that long.

I don't think I've ever eaten taquitos. I like veggie tacos and cheese enchiladas. Very much. With sour cream and guacamole. Yum.

You didn't go to Olvera Street either? I loved going there.

I used to make tacos & cheese enchiladas at home rather often when the boys were young. For the tacos I would do a lazy susan of different fillers for the home made taco shells. Scrambled eggs made a nice substitute for meat.

George · « **Reply #102 on:** October 15, 2019, 05:59:01 PM »

And now, I must be off. I'm going to my sister's to staple some plastic sheeting onto her new chicken shelter.

Be back later.

We walked along the canal towpath, which is now a bike trail, to The Crabby Pig for a delightful outdoor dinner. I had clam strips and a garden salad - yum!

The walk sounds lovely. The clam strips not so much

I have finally made it home. The last leg of the trip, from Houston to San Antonio, was the worst. Though the flight was only 35 minutes long, it felt like it was several hours long and the turbulence was so great that I flew up off my seat a couple of times.

John G. · « **Reply #107 on:** October 15, 2019, 06:18:18 PM »

But I'm here. I've had dinner. And I'm trying not to fall asleep too early.

OMG, how do you fly off of your seat when wearing a seat belt? I would have probably thrown up.

TOD:

Taquitos are called flautas here. They come with chicken in them that had been boiled for the caldo. They're wonderful hot out of the fryer with guac and/or sour cream melted on top.

What we call taquitos here are Mexican street tacos, the small tacos on miniature corn tortillas. I love those with pork al pastor with the pineapple juice melted into the meat. Top with plenty of cilantro, onion and radish, add a charred jalapeno and you got some good eats.

The air conditioner didn't seem to work, so it was blowing mostly hot air through the whole flight. Plus, heat was coming up from below. I felt sick before the turbulence. Thankfully, everyone was laughing about it. But, yes, the seat belt was slightly loose, so I had room to fly.

Watched a couple of good movies on the plane today:

Britt-Marie Was Here, which is also one of the books I'm reading now (the movie is faithful in the right ways and Pernilla August is excellent in the lead role)

Yesterday, which was surprisingly good and made good use of the Beatles' music.

John G. · « **Reply #115 on:** October 15, 2019, 06:28:40 PM »

Right now I'm watching the rather perverse Golden Earrings with Marlene Dietrich and Ray Milland.

I ate those in San Antonio and forgot about the different name.

I pass on sour cream for all of my Mexican food.

I haven't read the book. I will suggest to Keith we watch the movie. Is it a feel good story?

Yes. From the man who wrote A Man Called Ove. Very much in that vein.
