Our week

Yogurl and I ate wonderful Mexican food at La Perla Tapatia. It's just a little hole in the wall Mexican shop, but it was cheap and wonderful. Yogurl was greatly intimidated by the lack of English being spoken in the shop. Fortunately Manburger spoke English to an employee who spoke English, thus saving the day. Yogurl had a big fat veggie burrito, which she devoured. I had the Asada nachos. Yumm.

After dinner we went to the nearby theater and saw Nacho Libre, perhaps the greatest film ever made. Yogurl got a little tired of me talking like Nacho after the film, but I could not resist. Hey, take it easy!

I guess I should go in order of the week. Last Sunday, Yogurl and I gave talks in church on honesty. Yogurl's talk was excellent; mine was mediocre. Anyway, I'm going to let Yogurl type for a while now.

On Friday I went to a bread making class with a church women's group. The recipes were whole-wheat bread and whole-wheat hamburger buns. Now that's my kind of cooking. The sister who hosted the class fed us afterwards and we had the best sandwiches I've had in a long time.

This Sunday marks the first time that Manburger and I have entertained since getting married. We had our neighbor, whose wife is out of town, over for dinner and played Settlers of Catan. And who would've guessed, entertaining isn't so stressful. Our guest did have to bring his own chair however, seeing as we only have two green patio chairs. Ahh, the joy of being newlyweds.

For our dinner I made yummy stirfry with broccoli, carrots, onions, mushrooms, and waterchesnuts. We also had flounder fillets rolled and stuffed with cilantro, soy sauce, ginger, and lime juice. I made this crazy rice I bought in Utah called "mahogany and black blend." It turned out really pretty and nutty. For dessert I made a yummy chocolate cake from my new Moosewood's Dessert Cookbook. It called for baking soda and cider vinegar to rise instead of eggs. Manburger really liked it, too. I'll try to keep updates on my cooking adventures every week.

Manburger had a tough time this week because he got two flats on his bike. He even had special slime filled innertubes that were supposed to repair themselves, but I guess not! He was rather depressed, fortunately Yogurl lifted his spirits with a yummy lunch.

That's all for this week!
