Went and battled the store. I am making home made chicken pozole (pozole verde). So I had to go to two different stores and luckily it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. We needed MORE wrapping paper. I swear, we should start a tradition that all presents are unwrapped and just sitting there. Maybe you switch name tags to make it a surprise. I mean, really, how much do we spend on wrapping paper anyway. Same with birthday presents. Who started this anyway? Probably Hallmark.
I'm impressed! I just got back from *attempting* to go to the market. Couldn't park. Gave up.
ReplyDeleteI hate wrapping paper, too. Took me three hours just to wrap all the damn gifts. All that time, and it will take two seconds for everyone to unwrap everything. What a waste. Stoopid Hallmark people.
I will be thinking of you and your family, too, this Christmas!! Hang in there! Merry Christmas!!
I remember being a child, growing up at my Grandmother's knee, while she cooked in her small kitchen. She cooked every day; breakfast, lunch and dinner. There was always something to eat in the house...Mexican food, recipes she learned from her Mother.
ReplyDeleteI never at any of it. I refused it. When I got older, it was all about fast food. I didn't want anything cooked at home...I didn't want anything "ethnic". It was easier to eat a burger with my friends. My friends ate at our house, but I never did. Nana asked everyday...I know it must have hurt her when I didn't want any.
When Diane decides to cook, she COOKS. I am waiting as patiently as I can for the Pozole...and I don't want to wait until tomorrow. It is SO good. My wonderful wife...on Christmas eve...cooking the food that I refused as a child and teen.
What did I miss out on?
