It’s my next to last summer beer, but boy, is it good.  I first tried Fat Tire in Austin where my brother and sister-in-law live.  Then I found it when I came back home.  It is a very full bodied beer, so you can only drink one or two.  Well, imagine my surprise when they came out with Skinny Dip, their “light” beer.  It comes in at 95 calories, and has all the flavor of Fat Tire!

When I came home, my daughter was already fixing her dinner before going out, so that made my decision on what to make – taco salad!  She made tostadas.  This is the brand I got, and 3 tostadas are only 140 calories:

Here is the hubby’s meatloaf.  And to be honest, I ate a bite, and I liked it!  Of course, there were no ONIONS!
