Tony slept in a little later than me yesterday, so I did one productive thing! I finally deleted all the old pictures I don’t need to keep anymore. It was getting way out of hand. Check out how many photos I deleted since June of last year!
7,773 photos! Gah. And what’s funny is that most of them were blurry food photos – ha!
Tony and I decided to get some tacos for lunch. This restaurant just changed names and ownership, and I can’t even find it online, but they have super flavorful tacos for just $1.75 each. The last time I mentioned this place and talked about their beef tongue tacos, I got several responses that said “get them next time – you won’t regret it!” Here’s the deal though. What I had in my head was that the tongue would have taste buds on them still and I imagined them “popping’ in my mouth as I ate them! Tony was convinced I’d take one bite, say “nope!” and hand the plate over to him!
That, is the beef tongue taco – and it was delicious! Just tasted like tender beef. I believe they cook it on a flat top grill because I had these charred crunchy pieces that were so good. I generously topped that taco with this salsa – its avocado, sour cream, cilantro and my guess jalapenos – its so spicy and delicious!
After lunch we went to the Fresh Market. I love that grocery store. The Dominick’s that closed in the next town over had lots of bids from other grocery stores – Mariano’s, The Fresh Market – but sadly Jewel is taking over that location. Can you tell I don’t like Jewel that much?!
I drooled over all the cheese, although didn’t buy any since I still have Cabot cheese in the fridge. Tony got some lox for bagels this weekend – he loves it and The Fresh Market has these nova lox bits that are perfect and pretty reasonably priced. Me? I don’t like any kind of salmon.
Then it was time to pick up my insulin. My deductible hasn’t been met yet. It’s my night time insulin and without it, my blood sugar is always high in the morning. I went online and found a coupon from the manufacturer. I had no idea if it would work because I have insurance – I think It was mainly meant for people who didn’t have insurance. Well, it knocked off $100! So I ended up paying $211. This box will last me about three weeks.
We got home around 2 in the afternoon, and I thought to myself “I have a few hours to get stuff done before we have to go to dinner.” Except I laid on the couch, put a blanket on myself and dozed off and on for a couple hours – it was AWESOME! I can’t even remember the last time I did that. No guilt at all!
My step-daughter-in-law has had a whirlwind trip while she’s been home this week and glad she was able to carve out some time to meet with us. We got there early, so I asked Tony to take a nice picture with me – um, not sure he knows what the word “nice” means! The last picture makes me laugh out loud!
We had a lovely visit. Her Mom is really nice and actually comes to the Chinese restaurant we picked about every week so everyone stopped by to say hello to her!
That photo above was taken with a new app called Cam Me – you give your iPhone a hand signal and it counts down to take a picture – hands free selfies! Photobombed by Tony!
So the only thing missing was my step-son Joe. He stayed back in Austin because of work. It was great seeing you Lizz – I love you!
So here is how inactive I was yesterday!
Yep – just over half a mile yesterday! But, I will make up for it today. I work at the restaurant tonight. We have a new computer system so hopefully things will go smoothly – they installed it on Monday so hopefully by today all the kinks will be worked out. Happy Friday – make it a great day!
YIKES!
Shocked at how much you pay for insulin. I pay about 50 dollars for 1000mls. Lasts me almost 2 months… and I get 80% back from my insurance. Daytime insulin costrs me about the same.
Well, I have an HSA insurance policy – we are responsible for the first $2,500 each for our deductible, then everything is covered at 100% – it just hurts until I get to that $2500 mark! 🙁
You are one adventurous foodie my friend!
I’m shocked at how much your insulin costs. That’s terrible.
I really wish I knew how to manage my photos. I think I need to do a clean sweep of my iPhoto to free up some space. I think I’ll add it to my spring cleaning that officially begins on Monday (possibly tomorrow if I’m feeling motivated!).
Have a great weekend!!
Love the photo’s they made me smile.
I make a lot of photo’s every day and load them in a temporary map. I immediately delete the ones I’m not going to use so it won’t take up too much space on my laptop.
It was like my wife was deep tongue kissing a cow!
EW, what you imagined beef tongue would be like makes me want to DIE! haha! So glad you tried it though – I love trying new things. I’m sad about your medicine costs – that’s a big bummer. 🙁 Love the pics of you and Tony and Lizz!
I don’t know about trying beef tongue – glad you liked it though!!
You look tiny in that picture with your step daughter-in law.
And, good for you for resting and napping and not worrying about steps for a day – that is usually how my Sunday looks!
I am not a big fish lover, but then I found out that smoked salmon tastes a lot like bacon! It goes great with cream cheese on a bagel 😀
I am having a semi lazy afternoon. I actually just took a 30 minute nap while Kay is napping! I never do that, but its been a long week and I just feel exhausted! I’m not sure I could do those tacos, but I’d be all over that sauce! My parents have a fresh market near their house- its awesome! I heard we’re getting one too, but we have a gajillion food stores so I’m not sure if its true or not. Hope you have a great day
Love those kind of taco places! Although I don’t think I’m brave enough to try beef tongue. Maybe if someone didn’t tell me what it was. I wish we had a Market Fresh near here!
Oh oh…..JP and Tony would get along great with lox and bagels, cream cheese, onion and tomato. JP lived near a Jewish neighborhood in Chicago….so every Friday was lox and bagels day…….now it is a treat when I buy him lox and bagels, times do change.
Wow that is a lot of pictures to delete, guess that will be something I will have to learn how to do on this new computer….but not now.
Really fun pictures of you and Tony and your DIL………….sorry, no tongue tacos for me…..ish!!! Have a great day and good tips at Zeal!!!
You guys are too funny! I need to start to taking more photos. I use to be such a photo junkie. I will need them to spark my memory in my “golden years”. Hope you are enjoying your days off from the day job. Sending out big money thoughts for great night at Zeal.
I knew I liked Tony. My favorite food is lox and cream cheese on a bagel with red onion(sorry about that) and sliced tomatoe. Unfortunately I had to stop my obsession because of the carbs in bagels! I love your pictures!!!!!!
Cute pics!! Can your doctor give you samples of insulin? They get so much of it free from the drug company, they will give it, you just need to ask. Crazy that you have to pay so much.
