Small Business Saturday

Last night, Huck and I decided to go out and support our local small businesses for small business Saturday. We started at Rancho Chico for dinner. First off, I would like to say, there is no good Mexican food in South Florida. Cuban food, yes. Mexican food, no! Rancho Chico has good Burritos, though.

Huck ordered a Burrito AKA the worlds largest Burrito.

I know it is hard to see, but this whole plate is the burrito. The beans and rice where piled on the side of it.

I ordered the tamale and taco. I ate the tamale, but was to full for the taco.

Next time, we are just going to split the Burrito.

After dinner, we stopped by Tequesta Brewing Company. Of course, we had to stop by and support our local bar!

CRAFTING

Today, I did a few craft projects.

The first one on my list started with this dingy white sweater. I’m in love with ReFashionista. She does some amazing things with the ugliest outfits. One of her Refashions involved dyeing an old sweater.

I wore this sweater a few times, but it started looking dirty. Today, I bought some Hunter Green Rit Dye from Michaels.

I mixed half a packet of dye in a cup with very hot water. I filled the sink up 1/3 of the way with very hot water. I wet my sweater with hot water and add, un-crumpled, to the dye. Using kitchen thongs, I stirred and moved the sweater in the water for 5 minutes (The time depends on the fabric and how dark you want the item.) I rinsed the sweater, in hot water, and gradually to colder water as I rinsed, until the water runs clear. I hand washed the sweater in the sink and placed in the drier. (I followed the directions on the box, kind of.)

This picture doesn’t look great, but the sweater came out perfect. I now have a “new” sweater for $1.20. (As I was taking this picture, I remember, I already have a green sweater. Oh well!)

My sweater was practices for my bigger project. I have a set of white sheets I would like to dye blue. I found a few blogs where people were successfully. I plan to throw them away anyways, so why not? I’ll let you know how it goes.

FOOD

Tonight, is also, the last night of Thanksgiving leftovers.

Make sure you check out the Ham and Cheese Crescents, Cream Cheese Crescents with Cranberry Dipping Sauce, Buffalo Turkey Dip.

Turkey Noodle Soup

  • 6 Cups Chicken Stock
  • 4 Carrots- Chopped
  • 2 Cups Turkey- Cooked and Shredded
  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • Salt and Pepper to Taste
  • 2 Celery Stacks- Chopped (Optional)
  • 1 Tbsp Fresh Thyme- Chopped (Optional)
  • 1lb Pasta of Choice

Add chicken stock to large pot. Add carrots, turkey, bay, pepper, celery, and thyme. Bring to a boil. Add pasta. Cook according to pasta directions. Remove bay leaf and serve.

Could that be any easier?

Now, it’s time to relax with my Husband and the yahoos.

I hope everyone had a great Sunday, too.

Running

This morning, we laced up our shoes, and went for a run. We covered 1.8 miles. My plan is to get up in the morning and do it again! It feels so good!

    One thing I miss about So Fla is Cuban Food!! Where I live, there aren’t any Cuban places.
