Friday night, I made a bunch of Mexican food.
1. Black bean, chorizo and cheese empanadas. I got this recipe from an ad for Mexico in a Bon Appetit magazine. It called for packaged pie crust but I had crescent roll dough in a can and used that which made for them being more flaky but still delish. Basically, brown chorizo, saute onions, add can of black beans, some cheese, stuff, bake.
2. Squash quesadillas from this recipe. These were yummy, especially with the tomatillo sauce.
3. Chicken enchiladas from my usual throw it together recipe: shredded chicken and cheese rolled into some corn tortillas and drenched with canned green enchilada sauce.
4. Guacamole which I actually cut up the tomatoes and onions for, rather than dumping some fresh-made, farmer's-market-bought salsa into a mashed avocado like I usually do.
Overall, delish!!

Snow
Fortunately I saw on Facebook that it was snowing. This is now how I find out what's going on right outside my window. Now the ground is covered. Not so bad except that I had to attend the heinous radio meeting at 9 p.m. and it was cold and windy and snowing and I shoulda worn a hat.
I told Chip I feel like kids in a divorce with joint custody because I go out to his house and stay overnight and then come back in here sometime during the day and realize I've left something out there, like my iPad charger.
Also, I have no Christmas spirit. I'm not doing any decorating since I'll be gone for the holiday and I have a set of drums in my living room. And I'm not excited for shopping although no doubt next week I will go someplace and buy a bunch of stuff.
We ordered two cases of wine from Laithwaite's because hey, the holidays are coming and there will be massive excuses to drink it. And it was free shipping the day we ordered which saved us $60! I still need to order a case to ship to Texas.
Last Sunday, we went to the make-up fundraiser for the Toledo School for the Arts. Then who knows what I did the rest of the week.
The assistant IT woman from 13abc called me Tuesday to discuss what I was doing in light of not having a job. She unfortunately did not get the giant buyout I did, nor was she eligible for the Disney pension so she is more concerned than I about the job search. She's going to sign up for some classes at Owens to boost her career skills. Alas, I don't think they got anything for me. Although I should sign up for welding.
Friday I went out to the farm and after dinner, practiced my guitar for 2 hours in the man shack while Chip did some art guy stuff in the studio.
Saturday there was a band featuring Cameron Bedell at GFT but Amy and I went to Doc's to see the Joe Baker Band with Rod playing. It was a good time. Many people we knew were there. I had made lasagna for dinner.
This week, I have Snaps practice Tuesday and GNO Weds. at Connie DiPuccio's and Lil Ed is at GFT on Friday.
Tonight I looked up a bunch of music on Amazon to download so I'll have something new for my radio show Saturday.
My boy turned 30 on Saturday in LA with his sister and other people he knows who live there. 30. Sheesh.
Still working my way through Sons of Anarchy on Netflix. Watching Cash Cab.
