1. Going out for Mexican food

This place, the Alamo, has been around for years, and was just recommended to me. I barely know an enchilada from a chimichanga, but I guess I'll find out.

I'm making raspberry sherbet today! Had I known how much work it is to make raspberry puree, it would have been strawberry...but the mix tastes delicious (I added a touch of lime juice and some of the zest). Yes, I like tart flavors.

4. So what did you try?

5. Enchiladas

It was a plate with one spinach, one chicken, and one beef. Delicious! My husband loved the place...it's very tacky and family-owned and run. Everything was good (I tried some of his sampler plate). We'll definitely be going back, as he's been wishing for a good Mexican place.
And the raspberry sherbet was very good, too! It has a color exactly like borsht lol.

2. Tomato chickpea curry over rice. Watermelon cubes.

3. Yum!

I'll probably be making a chicken curry dish in the next few days.

6. Yum! I am drooling.

We had Beef sandwiches au jus with rosemary and garlic cooked in a pressure cooker. I bought homemade hard rolls for those who can have gluten and Against The Grain baguettes for my daughter and me (both have Celiac). Those are very good but expensive. I bought the Against the Grain cookbook...kind of complicated recipes but worth it. We also had a giant salad made with chopped bagged salad (kale spinach cabbage) and baby greens. I added dried cranberries and pepitos. We had homemade poppy seed dressing. We had Gluten free thin mint cookies for dessert. But your meal sounds better!
