That looks like a fun time, but I never heard of Carne Guisada. I had to look it up.

I first ate it in Puerto Rico decades ago. It was a little differentthan the texmex version, using pork instead of beef and a tomato base gravy but basically the same thing. Then out in San Angelo in the mid 90s, I discovered the Mexican version and it is absolutely the best of the Mexican type stews. Some places use a lot more potatoes than others, but it's all good. The trick, is browning the flour coated beef cubes good to get the Maillard Reaction but not so much it has a scorched taste. Made properly, it should be brown in color, (color of cumin and chili powder) not red or tan/white.[This message has been edited by maryjane (edited 05-22-2022).]

These are the best... you don't really see fairs like this much anymore. I was just at one here in Tampa... or I should say Lakeland or wherever it was (an hour from Tampa). But the only other place I'd seen one was in San Antonio. Never seen one in Miami / Fort Lauderdale area, and not even in the DC Metro Area. But I love these because there's so much going on... and it's crazy... which is what makes it awesome. |

Every county has one in MN. Demo derbys, Tractor shows, Animal shows and events, concerts, etc. Classic stuff. I don't think cities do much like it. But the MN State fair is similar and held in St Paul.[This message has been edited by 2.5 (edited 05-23-2022).]

That's what we call a nice cool spring morning. We are expecting 115o by the weekend.

A neighbor down in the valley has done the hay on our old place for the last several years. He partnered up with another farmer up in North Franklin. It used to take us a week or more to do 90+ acres of hay. Now they do it in two ( not counting drying time),
David got this mower last year and its the first time it's been here. 32' cut width. It's really to big for the smaller 20 acre meadows on these hill farms.
Looks like I'll be doing more bush hogging to clean up the hedgerows.

I am seeing the USA for the first time in 2.5 years. In Washington DC on my way to Knoxville, TN. Still good to be home.

Hell no. I've seen way too many movies with a machine like this, and they're all rated R.
We also had a guy get sucked into a tree shredder about 100 meters from my house. There was nothing left, and there is now a park bench with his name on it where it happened. I want nothing to do with sharp spinny things.

I think I'm more excited / interested in the gravel and plants in the parking median. I love me some mid-engined sports cars... but I've always been fascinated by Arizona and New Mexico landscape (which I know are uniquely different from each other). I got a taste of it when I lived in San Antonio for 4 years, but I've always wanted to live in New Mexico or Arizona. I own some land in New Mexico... but the wife wants nothing to do with either state except to visit on vacation once in a while, even then... she said she was "tired of always taking road trips to New Mexico and Arizona." Hahah...

Well, that is certainly good news! I had been wondering if you were still stuck. If it was me, I'd never leave the house again.
