Summa Is Coming

they were doing this for 3 hours.  Who pays for this?  The city?  I saw or next door neighbor talking to the guys and thought I saw him hand them money.  Can any citizen just hire a tree cutting service to cut down any tree they don't like?

they cleared out A LOT

I ordered memory for jen's laptop from Amazon and there was a free same day shipping option and it actually did arrive by 9pm that night!  Amazing.

jen's been trying to do this food blog/social media thing and so far it seems like I'm volunteered to do the cooking and she takes photos of the ingredients and then never takes a photo of the final product.  Her reason is because the meal is ready after the sun goes down and she can't take a natural light photo of the final.  This is usually gonna be the case so we'll see where this goes.  Here are the ingredients for a bacon and broccoli quiche complete with the homemade dough.

I made one of Jason's impromptu stew braises and I tasted it and said, this would go great with Spaetzle, a German egg noodle.  I don't have a Spaetzle maker so I watched some youtube videos of hand cut Spaetzle which is cool because it gives it a more authentic homemade touch.  It worked out and was delicious.

Botanica is a bar that is part of the Widow Jane distillery thing, they make rum too.  I thought it felt like Cuba there and it turns out it's a Dominican themed bar so I was close.

making corn tortillas from masa harina and water.  We don't have a tortilla press so we used a pot.

made Kenji Lopez Alt of Serious Eats fame's Green Chile Tacos.  Shredding the chicken that was blasted and browned in a really hot pot and then braised in a puree of aneheim peppers, other green stuff.  My second time making these and its a lot of work but really good. http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2013/08/chicken-green-chile-taco-recipe.html
