A mostly sunny day here in Oak Ridge. We had a good shower last night but so far today it has been ot and dry. The humidity hasn’t been to bad and that is a big help. It is now 3:33 p.m. and 91 degrees outside. It is 72 degrees inside, so I’m staying in.
Fran and I went to lunch at the new Mexican restaurant today. It is called El Toro, is nice inside, clean and renewed. They have been open a week so just starting to get people to come and see what the new Mexican restaurant is all about. Being new, they have a few bugs to work out. Fran and I asked for the chef’s suggestion as that would give us a hint of what it would be like. We were served Polo Hawaiian which consisted of grilled chicken, onions, and pineapple covered with white cheese sauce, served with Mexican rice, refried beans, lettuce, sour cream and tomatoes. It was O.K. but I’m not a fan of the white cheese sauce.
The prices are a bit higher then most, but then I haven’t checked the prices elsewhere so can’t say for sure. The menu is 5-2 sided pages and they have a all pages filled. The print is small. I do see that they charge for most every side, and I see that they charge $1.25 to add or subtract the white cheese to “build your own tacos or burritos, pork tamale, quesadilla, chili relleno. That is different. Can’t wait for Tina to see this menu and for Jerry, Tammy and Dottie to come and try it.
The Weekend is upon us and I see a trip to Knoxville on the horizon. Tina wants to get her car washed, Turkey Creek and shop for a specific item. then get together with Dottie, Jerry, and Tammy for a meal at a Mexican restaurant there that they love and Tina wants to try. She does love Mexican food. I want to look for the arm and head coverings for the two new chairs and a grow light for my Christmas cactus. Sunday is church.
Wah’s House Hold Hints: ‘ A recipe that is not shared with others will soon be forgotten but when shared , it will be enjoyed by future generations.” She left lots of good recipes to share and I do share them.
Have a great rest of your Friday and a fun filled, enjoyable, cool, and saft weekend.
