The dinner described the text in a round white bowl on top of a round brown placemat. The veggies are at the top and the chicken thighs at the bottom surrounded by some parsley.

Dinner last night was a boneless-skinless chicken thigh with smoked paprika, cooked on a grill pan and some mixed vegetables.

Geeky stuff for guitar/bass modelling. Impressive new tech. I have an older Line 6 modelling amp (Spider V60) which is very useful for me, but the tech is Stone Age compared to this or the earlier Helix systems. ๐ŸŽธ๐ŸŽถ

Unless your meals are catered at the venue there are a couple places to eat right there. A birriieria/taqueria almost next door and a French influenced place called La Madelaine right across the street.

Pay no attention to crusty old guy. ๐Ÿ‘€ I see the US tour will bring you to Ft. Worth TX. Not familiar with Monroe or Buckcherry so not sure if I can get anyone else to go (I'm 30 miles West). Otherwise not sure I can attend. Night driving vision not what it used to be.

Rectangular website signage from a local grocery store advertising the annual Hatch chili festival. On the left side are two hatch burgers. In the middle the wording says, "HATCH HALL OF FLAME AUG 6 (SHOP NOW) AUG 19". On the right side is a plate with 5 flame roasted Hatch green chili peppers.

It's that time of year when roasting is happening in markets in Texas. Nearby in Ft Worth is Central Market (HEB) that is roasting in the parking lot. 30th year. HEB/CM get 125 tons a year now.

Plus are all the hatch infused products throughout the store.

Part 2 of beef birria. Tacos! First attempt on these so don't be too harsh. The fresh tortillas are white corn, so you may be more familiar with yellow corn tortillas with birria.

It's a bit of work for sure. The chuck roast was really expensive so I will savor every bit of it.

12 oz cans are $3-$4 or so depending on if it is plain or Albecore. I get an 8 pack at Costco though don't remember the price.

Just used instant masa. Sopes don't look too difficult. Press them gently they are thicker and pinch a little lip around them while still warm then shallow frying.

Thanks. Once I get a consistent sense of how the dough should feel I'm going to move on to making some sopes.
