I must have been a naughty girl... :(

Hi readers, hope everyone had a great holiday.  I must have been a naughty girl this year...again...since Santa forgot to visit me once more :(

Did not do anything special, just stayed home.  I overheard mom tell my uncle that she wanted to eat Bacalao (cod fish) a traditional Christmas dish in some Latin American countries.  Since I had some in the freezer, attempted to make it for our Christmas dinner.

I have made it before after watching countless YouTube videos but I do not know what happened this time...it was awful!!!

We have had absolutely beautiful weather in the 80's.  That is up until this morning.  We had high winds, sleet, and snow flurries.  Called my nice Houston neighbor to inquire about the tornado warnings and weather in my neighborhood...but she was asleep at noon and again early this evening.

Garland Girl, hope you and your family are alright.  Thought about you when I watched the news.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.


Spurs Corner

I do not know how I could call myself a Spurs fan, when I forgot to watch the game last night! Good thing we won.  Why did I not forget to watch the game against the Houston Rockets?  Now, that was forgettable!

It has been Saturday all week

I swear all this week it has felt like it was Saturday and by golly it finally is!

Would like to say I have done something productive but the truth is that I have hardly done anything at all.  I will take that back, I have been cooking!!!  You don't believe me?  Sucks. Shucks (what a difference one word makes...sorry about that) I wonder why?

Last year after watching a million YouTube videos I made a typical Mexican as well as Spaniard Christmas plate called Bacalao or codfish in English.  This year with my limited 6 GB...I only watched a few videos and was able to jog my poor memory.  I must say it came out pretty good.

Today I cooked Caldo de Res and even my mother who is not a meat eater had some and liked it!

It has been cold and wet outside but tomorrow we expect to see the sun.  I am so glad I went to HEB earlier this week because I would hate to have had to go out in this weather.  As you can tell I do not have much to say :D

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
