Hey Y'all, I want to talk tacos. I know, I know, you are thinking that a green-eyed Irish girl like me can't know much about tacos. Well, let me tell you, I have connections.
My tacos start with mahi which I consider to be the best fish to use in tacos. It's meaty enough to not fall apart and it has just enough flavor to hold up in our marinade made from all the best south of the border flavors. I don't make it hot because I want you to taste all the flavor.
I top the taco with my Chipotle Crema, made from sour cream and a bit of chipotle, lime juice and salt.
Fresh Pico de Gallo is essential. Fresh tomatoes, onions, cilantro,lime juice and salt. That's it. We let the freshness be the star.
My taco is a perfectly seasoned mahi, rich Chipotle Crema and sparkling fresh Pico de Gallo, all packaged separately in the kit so that it retains its freshness and doesn't get soggy. The brand of corn tortillas were selected by the consensus of the mothers of my Spanish-speaking employees. In fact, throughout the creation of this kit, the tasting goal for each step was "That tastes like my mom's."
I do all the work in the kit except heating the tortillas and cooking the marinated mahi.
Stop by Saturday around lunchtime and we will cook these tacos for you. One taco - $6.00. With all the fixings - $8.00. Or just go ahead and order the kit here: |

The King is Here! Wild salmon is underway! We are currently getting troll-caught King salmon from near the mouth of the Columbia River. Troll-caught fish are caught by small, slow moving boats in the offshore areas outside the mouths of the rivers that are the spawning destinations of the salmon. They are caught one at a time by rod and reel so they are carefully handled and iced quickly on the boat.
Rich and buttery, king salmon has the highest fat content and mildest flavor of all the wild salmons. There is a reason we call it the King. |
FREE Wine Tasting On Saturday, 3:00-5:00 pm!
The focus this weekend is on appellations of Burgundy in France. Reasonably priced selections, these are perfect for light fare pairings or enjoying on these nice Spring afternoons.
La Croix Senaillet Macon-Devaye - $31.97
Macon-Devaye-Burgundy- France
A selection of 5 plots in the prime of life and predominantly clay-limestone, this cuvée with a pale yellow colour with silvery reflections is very flattering. Indeed, this wine seduces with the brightness of its fruit and its freshness. This Mâcon-Villages is a simple and authentic wine to be enjoyed as an aperitif with friends or as an accompaniment to grilled fish. Another possibility: as a starter with a parsley ham or around Asian dishes.
Fevre-Fevre Chablis - $29.99
Chablis- Burgundy- France
100% Chardonnay
It’s hard to think of a better buy in expertly rendered, classic Chablis than the 2023 Fevre-Fevre. Grown in a vintage that Decanter rated 4 out of 5 stars, the team of Gilles and Nathalie Fevre absolutely NAILED this one: It’s aromatically lifted and clean, showing the beautiful detail and transparency we love in the region. A gem from an infinitely lauded family.
Domaine de Thulon Beaujolais-Villages Rouge - $16.99
Beaujolais- Burgundy-France
100% Gamay
Beaujolais is the most southern wine growing region in Burgundy, though it is substantially different from rest of Burgundy, both in climate and in the wine it produces, it is often thought of as its own appellation.
Beaujolais produces light, dry red wines made from Gamay. Perhaps what the region is best known for is Beaujolais Nouveau, a fresh and fruity red wine made for immediate consumption.

And Finally, I stopped participating in social media a long time ago. In my day, the word friend meant that we were nice to each other and we were available if you needed help. We had things in common and enjoyed each other's company. Not so much anymore.
Facebook has some redeeming qualities and I started missing the good parts. I like book recommendations and answers to gardening questions. I like funny comedians and most of all I like dog videos. ALL DOG VIDEOS.
So to see the parts I like, I created a Facebook identity for my dog, Abby. She very rarely engages, occasionally likes a post, but mostly we just view things. However, the incessant influence of Facebook seems to be taking over our lives. Things are changing for Abby. She's feeling artifically confident and accessible. She is becoming her own woman. |
